Drink the spilt blood from a honey thigh. But soon! That time may find us in
pieces but together, in an embrace, mouths shattered and souls bitten by
love. - adapted from Federico García Lorca.
The father of the vampire
Dracula, the Vampire Count, has become one of the most popular of archetypes.
The novel Dracula tells the story of a vampire man in search of physical
immortality. But he can only live forever if he feeds on human blood. In this
story, blood represents the energy that flows throughout the body, and which
gives us life. Although this premise seems preposterous to some, the story
originated in author Bram Stoker's historical research, fertile imagination,
and unique genius.
Vampire people
Some people perpetuate the energy pattern of vampirism; they feed on the
emotional, sexual, physical, and mental energy of others. It goes without
saying that they do not feed directly on other people's blood, as did Count
Dracula. Rather, they play on other people's weaknesses to subject them to
their whims.
Vampirisim is related to the inner and outer projection of a person's own
denials and inhibitions. In particular, it reflects everything that is feared
and repressed in the most instinctive part of the self. Inside vampire
personalities, there is both a consciousness of lacking, and a desire to
obtain that which they lack. These traits may stem from certain negative
social conditionings vampire-types may have had to endure: mistreatment, lack
of self esteem, and rejection, sometimes even from their own parents. One way
to understand vampire people is to think of some sort of "monster" dwelling
inside a person, forever unsatisfied, always in need of something external
for survival. This monster cannot sustain itself or give anything to others.
Emotional vampires
Emotional vampires often appear lonely or lacking in affection. Playing up
this vulnerability is precisely the way in which they ensnare victims. But
their hunger is impossible to satisfy. Extremely voracious, they desire to
possess other people.
In some ways, emotional vampires are like people who suffer from depression,
alcoholics, or drug addicts. You will understand their mindset better if you
think of those friends who are forever talking about their problems but never
listen to yours. They might respond to something you've said by saying, "It's
exactly the same with me," and go on to tell their story without really
acknowledging your words.
Sexual vampires Sexual vampires are those people who try to establish a
sexual relationship with somebody but only at a very shallow level, avoiding
any kind of deep or affectionate rapport. They are looking only for the
satisfaction of their instinctive desires. They treat their partners as if
they were disposable. After making love, their sexual partners are left with
a void inside.
Sexual vampires don't usually get in touch with their victims again. If they
do so, it is only on their terms, and they refuse to explain what their true
feelings are. And if they do come back, it is only for the sake of sex.
There is only one way to protect ourselves from vampires: recover the love
for ourselves and focus on the light that lives within us, where there is no
room or shelter for the shadows.
