I believe in a realistic view you can't be that vampiric as Edward cullen but you can become something else that is vampiric in a sense that you are dependent from other form's energies. some spirit are vampiric (in a scientific approach "parasitic")

Yes, I know about the other literature. I was merely pointing out that the popular movies and Tv series are usually from the original Dracula. The vampire stories were in folklore for many years before Dracula. They even had some basis in truth. Vampire bats, for instance. There is even an African tribe who live on practically nothing except the blood of cattle! Nevertheless, the stories of vampires as portrayed by Hollywood are just that; stories.

Dracula was the first work where it was popularized though, and romanticized. Prior to this the concept of vampirism generally resulted in burnings, hangings, and the dismemberment of corpses.
Most historical evidence actually indicates that historical "vampires' are either the affliction of tuberculosis and similar diseases being attributed to supernatural forces because they could not otherwise be explained, or general mental illness resulting in blood fascination.
And while it is entirely possible to be deficient on energy, or otherwise "feed" off of others psychically, or energetically, the entire concept of a psychic vampire is a relatively new one so far as I am aware. Part of the whole new age romanticism of supernatural entities.
From 55 years of experience, I'd say he's probably been practicing since before people started talking about such things as being elaborate truths to live with rather than being conditions that can be corrected.
I've had several encounters with "psy vampires," and have taught one to find balance without having to "feed" off of others.
As with all spiritual matters, perception of the self, the truth of the self, and your general perception and focus upon the world around you, can severely impact (for good or bad) how anything from spells and charms to your need to "feed" on others.
It takes all kinds though, and if that's how you live your life and wish to be, I'm glad you found something that works for you. As far as real blood though, well... I'd have whomever you're feeding off have the papers handy that prove they don't have an assortment of diseases.
my self im i hybrad but i feed of energy most the time but yes being and energy vampire has an up side energy contorl came very easy to me but its that same skill i have to you to feed or i get sick Not feeding Could even lead to death but i think the body would start taking energy by it self be ford take its a double side Blade hurt both the thing you take it form and can hurt you in the long run it Life would be much easyer with out Me being a Vampire but that like what can we do make the best of it
There is also the fact that where it originated the people there were struck down by a form of the plague, with no medical knowledge in those days they attributed this to demons. After digging several bodies up they noticed they all had blood on the side of their mouth, not realising that blood would come out the body with the gases that escape after death, they put it down to them rising from the grave and biting other victims of this plague.
PSI Vampire to me means energy thief, its a dressed up term to make someone sound cool, like a person stacking shelves in a shop calling themself a stock controller, end of the day describe what you do and thats what you are.
It is a born condition and nothing like current romanticized works of fiction. It is merely a way of obtaining energy in several different forms (such as sanguinarian, psychic and it's subcategories). Those who believe themselves to be vampires are usually foolish children who wish to play dress up and have excuses for their behavior and "dark nature."
Also, those who are mature and through many years of contemplation and study have found themselves to be such energy manipulators are not weak minded or idiotic. You can possess intelligence and be skeptical about what you are told and still find that you belong on a certain path. I believe if any of you walked on the streets and told them of your "magickal talents and experience" you would be scoffed at and ridiculed. Therefore, whether it is "sense" or "nonsense" that vampires exist I ask that none of you demean them here where a haven for unconventional ideas may be discussed openly.
