       Recognizing Energy Vampires

                           Copyrighted by Dr. Bruce Goldberg

Some people, by their very presence, seem to drain the energy of those unprotected people around them.  They will often associate with a victim who exhibits the classic signs of this drain.    General debility, lack of motivation and energy, an emaciated physique, a pallid complexion, and an overall sense of weakness are typically noted. These victims also tended to be highly suggestible people.      

Most of these energy vampires are well-meaning, normal people. They are an unhappy lot, and do their damage by a telepathic draining of their victim's energy resources. Mere separation of two people results in immediate positive changes in the victim.    

I prefer to use the term "psychic parasitism" for cases where this energy drain is
involuntary and subconscious. If this effect is the result of a premeditated
psychic attack, I refer to the perpetrator as an energy vampire.   

You will observe this process at work in any public gathering. The more people present, the easier it will be to note. This could be a family gathering, a lecture, or
an encounter at your local movie theater. 

        

PSYCHIC DEFENSE STRATEGIES AGAINST ENERGY VAMPIRES   

The psychological dynamics represented by people who inadvertently portray a psychic attacker (energy vampire) fall into five major categories. This personality type is an accumulation of that individual's experiences in their current life, as well as in prior lifetimes.    Fear is the common denominator in these individuals, and you must learn to protect yourself from their negative influences. The five personality types are called ethereal, insecure, paranoid, passive-aggressive, and robotic.

The Paranoid Type

Betrayal is the main issue with a paranoid type.  Their karmic theme in past lives has possibly been that of warrior-like behavior, self-sacrifice, and victory in their battles.  As a results of their experiences, they learned that there were enemies in the world who betrayed and possibly killed them in several
incarnations.   Paranoid types are soldiers still trying to win a  war that no
longer exists against an enemy that has long since perished.  They do not trust
anyone.  Everyone is their enemy and life is their battleground.  Fear is
everywhere and an ingrained part of their personality makeup.    Aggression is
the most common response to the world from a paranoid type.   This aggression
takes the form of physical behavior and energy projections to anyone in their
path.    Paranoid types constantly pick fights.   They are seductive, but are
incapable of long-term relationships.   This person expects all others to betray
them, and will assist in setting up others for this betrayal.      To lose for a
paranoid is to admit that they are bad.  This is intolerable, so these people
must win at any cost.  They are hard workers, obsessive-compulsive, and are
usually quite healthy physically.    Paranoid types insist you agree with their
often-distorted view of the world.  In reality, they want you to argue with
them.  This way they can win the argument and prove to themselves that they are
good and you are bad.    Never argue with this person.  Refrain from making eye
contact with them.  Lower and soften your voice when you speak to them, and
change the topic to something pleasant.

The Ethereal Type

Existential terror is the predominant issue of an ethereal type.  Most often these troubled souls have been tortured to death in previous lives for their metaphysical beliefs or practices.  Their only escape was to leave the body, so out-of-body experiences are the norm with them today.    These individuals do not want much contact with others.  They were afraid to incarnate in their present body, and show this fear by being unwilling to commit their consciousness completely into their physical body.    They have weak boundaries and spend as much time as possible on the spiritual realms.  Since all time is simultaneous on other planes, these people find it difficult to relate to linear time.        They become aggressive and angry when forced to function on the earth plane.    Their psychic attack on you is rarely premeditated, but nonetheless you must protect yourself from these individuals.

The Insecure Type

The main issue with insecure types is nurturance.  These souls have been through many incarnations during which there simply was not enough food or love to go around.    They usually were abandoned at some time in their present life, and fear it will happen again.    The insecure type feels that everyone around them is draining their energy; their response is to suck the energy from others to compensate.  They may engage you in long, boring conversations and speak very softly.  Their voice is so soft and low that you have to strain to hear them.    These souls continually create life experience proving that they are not worthy of attention, and their energy needs and nurturing requirements will never be satisfied.     An insecure type always comes across as helpless.  They insist you do things for them, and expect you to take care of their every need. Give-and-take circumstances are unknown to them. All they can do is take.    Never stand directly in front of this person.   Do not make eye contact with him or her, if possible.  Encourage them with words, but do not offer to do things for them.  Remember these individuals live in constant fear of rejection and abandonment.  Do not let your pity for them be a basis for you being their next victim.

The Passive-Aggressive Type

Invasion and being controlled is the chief concern of the passive-aggressive type.    During several past incarnations, they experienced being controlled and trapped in situations, and prevented from being able to express themselves in ways they wanted to.   They may have been slaves, prisoners, or been victimized by religion or governments.    These souls absolutely desire freedom, but their fear prevents them from claiming it.  They are angry and resentful for not feeling free, and lack a solution to this problem.  Their response to the world is withdrawal, but with a subconscious wish to obtain permission from other people to come back into the world.    Passive-aggressive types lack autonomy. They constantly strive to involve other people in their lives.  This individual makes demands and resists input at the same time.  They live in the now, and never plan or think about the future. Self-expression is unknown to them.    This type of individual creates an internal world of unclear, undifferentiated
fantasies and ideas, with fear at the core of this world. It is impossible for
them to express anger.    Whey you engage this type in a conversation, they will
request your advice.  Unfortunately, all of your suggestions are wrong and you
are of no help to them.  These people ask but reject whatever is offered to
them.  Their classic response to your advice is, "yes, but.."

The Robot Type   

The main issue of robotic types is authenticity.  They are denying their true self.  During previous lifetimes, they had to keep up the appearance of
being perfect in order to survive.  They were most likely in charge of running
things, as they probably are now.    Their outer world is perfect, the inner
world is denied, and there is no core essence.     To deal with this reality,
robot types try to become even more perfect.  They have high-paying jobs, a good
reputation, a perfect spouse and family, and look in perfect health.    The more
inauthentic they act, the more meaningless the world appears. The robot types
never attain satisfaction from life, and come across as a blank.     Robot types
never complain about the world.  They are perfect and everything is beautiful. 
Appropriateness and being "politically correct" are more important
that being real.    These five types of psychic parasites need to be recognized
and treated accordingly, or a psychic attack upon you is inevitable.The
protection techniques presented in Protected by the Light will assist you in
dealing with any form of psychic attack.

Some simple approaches you can take to avoid being victimized by an energy vampire are:

1. Keep your head inclined forward, and close your mouth when not speaking to this person.

2. Look only at their left eye, when meeting their gaze.

3. Fold your arms, cross your ankles or legs and place your folded arms across your solar plexus.

4. Don't sit or stand directly facing them.

Here is a simple exercise to protect yourself from a psychic attack:

Imagine that your physical body is a honeycomb. You are so porous that any energy coming towards you will flow right through you without affecting you in anyway. Keep your attention completely focused on this image.Now visualize a trap at the back of this honeycomb mesh screen. This receptacle traps any form of negative energy and immediately neutralizes it.Perceive all of the negative energy that you are exposed passing through your aura without affecting you in any way. This negative energy now is trapped in this receptacle and is immediately neutralized.We can all learn to strengthen our aura and protect ourselves and others against any form of psychic attack. This psychic protection also brings with it a form of empowerment like no other we have been exposed to. We can all finally learn to take control of our lives.
