The Way of the Psychic Vampire

The greatest mystery which pervades human existences is knowledge of the Self. The individualized Self is rooted in compassion, self-awareness and is powered by the creative engine of our imagination. Our psyche projects unto the natural world images of life and death. Inside of our being exists a congress of competing drives, desires and instincts which battle for control of our egoic mind. In waking life, we are bombarded with a perpetual stream of distractions, deceptions and distortions. How can we find our Self and become free in this great maze of confusion?

Our most valuable possessions in this blue pale dot are our time and energy. Our little moments in this world are limited by the causal confinements of this multidimensional electric universe. As individuals existing within the matrix of time & space we yearn to be validated, respected and love. The inborn spirit of freedom & rebellion in humanity drives us to seek out the unknown and make sense of it all. In our curious pursuit for deeper truths we find obstacles, enemies and hidden truths along the way. These challenges are blessings in disguised, and are all part of the inner path. As conscious beings we should learn to trust in the bitter lessons of life. To live free in an ever changing world is a balancing act. We stumble and fall when we forget our true origins.

They are those among us who have turned away from their true Self. They are those who walk beside us only so they can pretend to be our friends. These pretenders will claim to possess good intentions, empathy and a desire to grow. They will tug at our heart strings, and look into our eyes without a glimmer of sincerity. They expect us to forgive all trespasses and forego our sense of reason. These psychic vampires manifest in all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds; at their inner-core exists a black fire which seeks to consume & destroy. These slithering serpents exploit our own sensibilities, so they can feed their vast emptiness.

The center of human life is a stage in which a perpetual tug-of-war unfolds between psychic vampires and the seekers of truth. The real battle takes place within our hearts, but the outcome is manifested in the seemingly real & external world.

As conscious individuals it is our duty to learn the ways of the psychic vampires. Without this personal wisdom we may potentially falter by allowing our energy to be sucked away. We owe it to ourselves to break away from individuals who actively choose to exploit our blind spots.

Psychic vampires hunger after our attention, energy and time because it gives them a distorted sense of personal power. Their inner-world is replete with self-doubt, self-deception and self-abnegation. Psychic vampires rely on our willingness to forgive and empathize. They will use kind words with strings attached to cajole us into playing along with their narrative.

We should look inside of ourselves and ask, “why do I choose to keep destructive people in my life?” “Why are they in my path?”

We may want to help them break free of their own self-distortion, however we must come to terms with their choice to hide away from the truth. We must let them embrace their own path, and follow our own without looking back. We need to learn to trust in our intuition and stop investing our time & energy on people who take, take and give nothing back.
