I used to think think that blood vampirism is something completely separate
from psychic vampirism, but now I am not so sure. I feel that perhaps blood
vampires might even actually be a specialized type of psychic vampire. Don't
look at me like that; I'm not turning coat... Let me try to explain what I mean.
Both blood vampires and psychic vampires are real vampires. The main difference
is that psychic vampires can feed from psychic energy (prana, chi, psychic energy,
or whatever you want to call it): the life-force that surrounds and is contained
in all living things, including blood, which is why the psychic vampires can
and do consume blood at times. But they don't have to rely on consuming blood
in order to feed and get the energy. Blood vampires, or sanguinarians, do have
to rely on feeding from blood, and cannot feed psychically from other people
and things. Why?
It's obviously something in the blood... But blood passes through someone's
system largely undigested and unused as a nutritional item. It contains mostly
water, and it also carries oxygen and other materials, which, if nutritionally
required, could be taken into someone's body in more usual ways than by drinking
blood. Even if blood vampires are somehow genetically changed, and have ...
more specialized physical requirements, there still would be alternate ... menus
available for obtaining that which we need, present in the blood.
What I am thinking, -- and this idea will no doubt irritate and annoy some
people as being utterly preposterous, but please at least consider what I have
to say, -- is that perhaps the blood vampires are, indeed, after the same thing
as the psychic vampires. The blood vampires and the psychic vampires are all
pretty much the same thing, having many similar and overlapping traits and symptoms,
but the blood vampires are unable to psychically feed from the energy, and as
such, are limited to drinking blood -- to get the psychic energy that is contained
within the blood!
Since consuming the blood is the only way that those who are blood vamps can
feed, and they display no other psychic capabilities (and if they do, then these
abilities are very limited in scope) they (quite logically) assume that it is
the blood itself that the blood vamps are after. It may be the blood, or something
physical in the blood, that we need, but if it is the pranic energy within the
blood that we are after, whether we realize it or not, this would explain a
lot of things and similarities between blood vampires and psychic vampires:
the similar conditions and symptoms, the sensitivities, the feelings and sensations
that both blood vamps and psyvamps experience when we / they feel the need to
feed, while feeding, and after having fed.
The only difference between blood vamps and psi-vamps is that the blood vamps
are limited to feeding from the blood in order to absorb the energy that they
are requiring. We're all the same thing; we're all real vampires. And real vampires
is real vampires, and that's it.
