1 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Hello everyone. I figured a good topic for today would be energy vampirism. 2 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000 This is a parasitic relationship in which one person 3 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000 feeds off of the life force energy, otherwise known as prana, of another person. 4 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 These people who feed off of the life force of another person, 5 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000 who drain other people's energy, are often called Psychic Vampires. 6 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000 But I am going to propose a lofty proposition today: 7 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000 That it is impossible to give away your energy to anyone, 8 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000 and it is impossible to take energy from anyone. Here is why: 9 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Let's call this Source. As we know Source is and infinite energy, it has no boundaries, it is everything. 10 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000 There are streams within the source energy which we often call the soul or the Higher Self. 11 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,000 It's just like a current within the ocean, the current is also the ocean, but it is an expression of the ocean. 12 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000 So these souls or higher selfs, project forth into the physical dimension, a physical being. 13 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,000 So let's call this you and let's call this Bob. 14 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Bob is only ever being fed energy from his soul or higher self, the same way that you are only being fed by your soul or higher self. 15 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000 It is that stream of consciousness which is feeding you energy. 16 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:19,000 So it is actually impossible to take your energy from somebody else or for someone to take your energy for themselves. 17 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:28,000 All it ever happens, is that this person acts in such a way that by virtue of perceiving them, 18 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:38,000 you begin to think thoughts that cause you to restrict your own source flow. 19 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Same goes for the other person. Bob might feel like we are draining their energy. 20 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000 But what's really happening, is that as he is observing our behavior, 21 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000 that is causing him to think thoughts that are preventing his source flow from coming into his physical body. 22 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000 That right there is why he is saying: “Now I feel like my energy is drained when I'm around you”. 23 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000 It really has nothing to do with this person over here. 24 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000 They're not the one that is doing it to them. They are just existing as an excuse for Bob to feel bad. 25 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000 This may happen to you too. If Bob is doing something that makes us feel like our energy is drained. 26 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000 If this is the psychic vampire, the only reason we have that perception is 27 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000 because they're doing things that are causing us, when we look at him, 28 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000 when we are looking at this person, we are thinking thoughts about them 29 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000 that is making it so that we are in resistance to our source flow. 30 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000 That energy current cannot flow into our physical body. 31 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 And when that happens you see ailments. 32 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000 All of these physical symptoms of unhealthiness are the byproduct of us depriving our own source current. 33 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Psychic vampires do not feel as if the universe is infinite. 34 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000 They do not feel as if it is possible to get the love that they desire. 35 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000 They do not trust themselves to fulfill their own needs and as a result they 36 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000 believe that the only way to get what they need is to take it from others. 37 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000 The thoughts they think, diminish their vitality and so they live their lives in the state of perpetual desperacy and weakness. 38 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000 They are unaware of the wellspring of their own spirit. 39 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Because if this, they have long been considered spiritually weak. 40 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:37,000 In reality is impossible to be spiritually weak. It is only possible to be ignorant of the power of your spirit. 41 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Like starving people stealing food, they steal energy. 42 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000 As we saw in the previous example, it is not true that they steal energy. 43 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000 It’s that they behave in a way that causes you to think thoughts that deprive you of your own source energy. 44 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:02,000 This does not make them evil or even ill intentioned. It makes them desperate victims to their own minds. 45 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000 But at the risk of making some of you very unhappy, I must tell you something about the victims of vampirism. 46 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,000 We live in a reality, a physical reality, which is a mirror hologram. 47 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:24,000 The way it is arranged is according to the law of attraction which states that only vibrations which match can share the same reality. 48 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000 So how is it that the prey and the predator can share the same space. 49 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,000 They are opposing vibrations are they not? Not exactly, not at all! 50 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000 They are the same vibration: The victim is the exact same as the vampire. 51 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,000 He or she also thinks thoughts that diminish their own vitality, and so they live in a state of weakness and desperacy. 52 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000 They are unaware of the wellspring of their own spirit and so they too are considered spiritually weak, 53 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000 or at the very least in a period a emotional and spiritual weakness. 54 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Like starving people stealing food, they steal two things: 55 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 The first is pity. Pity feels like love to those of us who are perpetual victims. 56 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,000 It urges people to take care of us, because we do not feel capable of taking care of ourselves. 57 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:26,000 But there's one more thing that the victims of a psychic vampirism steal from a space of desperacy, it is a feeling of goodness. 58 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000 When, we line up with a bad guy, like a psychic vampire, we get to be the good guy. 59 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000 We do not feel capable of feeling good about ourselves unless we can feel as if someone else is more of a bad person than we are. 60 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:47,000 This is what gets us addicted to psychic vampires, we keep running into them over and over, because they serve our self-concept. 61 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000 If you come in contact with the psychic vampire you will start to feel exhausted, you will start to feel confused, 62 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000 like you are very out of sorts, you might even start to feel depressed, 63 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000 your energy is gonna be depleted and you won't even know what hits you. 64 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Just like the old fairy tales of the blood-sucking vampires. 65 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Most the time they strike and you don't even know what to ascribe your feelings to. 66 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Because you haven't identified who it is in your environment, is causing you to feel this way. 67 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,000 The following is a short list to the main attributes of a psychic vampire. 68 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000 To be considered a true psychic vampire, a person has to meet several criteria on this list. 69 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000 The psychic vampire lives in an atmosphere of self-ignorance. 70 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000 We are all on the process to self-discovery, so to some degree or another we are all in the dark relative to ourselves. 71 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:48,000 But the psychic vampire has less of an investment placed in self-awareness than they do on survival. 72 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000 And survival means praying off of others. 73 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:59,000 As long as they are getting this energy from others they don't have much incentive to heal themselves, and thus becoming entirely self-aware. 74 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000 This can be hard to see however because they tend to run in circles of people who really do want to be self-aware. 75 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Spiritual circles and healing modalities are a special favorite of there's. 76 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000 I'll tell you why. In general spiritual people and people who are in the healing fields are the most opened to other people. 77 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Their defenses are low and they are forgiving. 78 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000 And those of us who find our way to the the spiritual path don't often do so from a space of joy. 79 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000 We often find a spiritual path by virtue of our own suffering. 80 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Many of us have found our way there because we do feel like victims and have been victims in our past, 81 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:41,000 and so we are there in the spiritual circles, specifically to heal the already current vibrations of victimhood. 82 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000 When you surround yourself with those who practice thinking the best of others, 83 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000 and those who practice taking personal responsibility for things, it is easy to 84 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:56,000 go unnoticed to make others feel sorry for our pain when we hurt them instead of cutting us from their lives. 85 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:05,000 Another way of putting this, is: If I was a vampire bat and I knew that there is a cow in the field that was practicing the art of non resistance, 86 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000 I would most likely choose to land on that cow and start feeding. 87 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Why? Because I know that he's not gonna swat me with his tail. 88 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,000 Whereas the average cow, who is not in the spiritual circle , who isn't practicing non resistance, would have no hesitation swatting me off of them. 89 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,000 They feed off of negative attention. They cause problems and create unnecessary 90 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000 interpersonal friction on purpose so they could have all eyes on them. 91 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 These people pick fights incessantly, because of this, you will feel like you 92 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000 are back to square one with them over and over again no matter how much you try to help them, 93 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000 or solve problems in the relationship, because it is not the healing they want. 94 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000 It's the attention you give them when they are causing problems that they want. 95 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000 This person will not get better no matter how much they say they want to get better, because that is not their prerogative. 96 00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:00,000 They are deceptive. Their number one favorite, for developing rapport amongst people, for developing friendships, 97 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000 is to turn people against each other. 98 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000 They are famous for picking sides, for playing sides, for putting people against each other, 99 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,000 because they can feed off of the energy of someone siding with them. 100 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Instead of engaging in fair play, where two parties agree to engage in the emotional battlefield of 101 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000 an argument, they strike when it's least expected, when there is no provocation. 102 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000 They walk into the room at your weakest moment and they will attack you, 103 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000 they will strike at you, they do this so that in your moment of weakness 104 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000 they can actually feel more powerful, and their self-concept can come up. 105 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,000 You will feel drained in a negative, unsatisfying way even by the thought of this person. 106 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000 The reason I ask if you feel drained in an unsatisfying way is that when we do shadow work or some other form of learning. 107 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000 We may feel drained of energy but we also a sense of grounded satisfaction. 108 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000 It is an enjoyable feeling. But if you feel drained in an unsatisfying way, 109 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,000 when you are with another person, chances are very high that you have spent your time with a psychic vampire. 110 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Guilt is their absolute favorite motility of attack. 111 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000 It not only causes them to feel powerful and in the right, 112 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000 it also makes people grovel and apologize and extend some gesture of appreciation or approval towards them, 113 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 which is a form of forcing someone to gift them energy. 114 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,000 They use everything you tell them against you later. Nothing you say to them will stay with them. 115 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000 These people are the sultans of spin. 116 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000 They select portions of what you say to defend their position against you. 117 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Most especially things you say from a place of vulnerability. 118 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Psychic vampires do not trust anyone, they live their lives in a state of perpetual paranoia. 119 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000 Most of them are hyper perfectionistic, they strive for appearances. 120 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 But as their external world gets more pristine their internal world becomes meaningless and bleak. 121 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000 They numb out and in some circumstances, this leads to dangerous interpersonal relationships. 122 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:10,000 They need to feel something, but feel nothing and so, they participate in very extreme behaviors, just so they can feel something. 123 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,000 This can be as simple as adrenaline sports. But it can be as complex as serial rape or serial murder. 124 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000 They are preoccupied with being right and winning because being right 125 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000 means to be good, this is why they pick fights and refuse to lose fights and why they are not looking for a meeting of minds. 126 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000 The only way they can prove to themselves that they are good and worthy of love is to be right and to win at any cost. 127 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:39,000 Many of them are dissociative and they leave their body subconsciously throughout the day. 128 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000 They live in a kind of existential angst. 129 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000 They feel that everyone around them is draining their energy, so they respond by taking other people's energy to compensate for that perception. 130 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:59,000 They identify with victimhood to such a degree that they will appear to be completely helpless and so you will find yourself called into the role of rescuer. 131 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,000 Only.... they will never be saved. You'll just become more and more exhausted trying to fill the role of the rescuer. 132 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000 They are either perpetual martyrs or perpetual narcissist. 133 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000 As perpetual martyrs they offer to do loving things but feel put out by others when they accept the offering. 134 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000 They resent others after doing those things that they were never asked to do in the first place. 135 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000 They like pity... it makes them feel “good”. 136 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000 The perpetual narcissist will deliberately avoid doing loving things because they 137 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000 feel like being loving towards others means they will not have enough energy for themselves. 138 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,000 They are stingy. They deprive others and argue for their right to be so self focused. 139 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Many of them have perfected the art of passive aggression. 140 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000 The heart of which is resentment. They ask for help, but your help is of no use to them. 141 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000 You being unable to help them actually enables them to feel more capable. 142 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000 They are preoccupied with making threats that make you act in a way which makes them feel as if they are loved. 143 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000 It's a kind of entrapment where they withdraw, they force you into chasing them. 144 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:12,000 The classic form that this takes, is a person who continually threatens to leave but never actually goes, because they are not actually looking to leave. 145 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000 What they are looking for is for you to keep coming back and saying “no no don't go don't go we want you to stay”, because that's how they feel loved. 146 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Encountering a psychic vampire means nothing more than this: 147 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:31,000 You have some victim vibrations to look at. Some beliefs that are denying you access to your own personal power. 148 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Psychic vampires are especially attracted to people who have no boundaries. 149 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000 But I don't want you to get the wrong idea, I'll be doing a video in the future relative to boundaries. 150 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Boundaries does not mean that we erect walls in between ourselves and other people. 151 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000 What it means is that we are committed to our own personal identity. 152 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,000 We have a solid sense of identity and a solid sense of what happiness means for us as individuals. 153 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,000 We are committed to doing what it takes to be happy. 154 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Those of us who do not have good boundaries, because we are not very committed to our own personal sense of identity and therefore happiness. 155 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000 We cannot say no to other people, because saying no to other people makes us feel like we are bad. 156 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,000 This opens us up very wide to be utilized by someone. 157 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:29,000 To be in the presence of somebody who loves to act in a way that makes them feel better about themselves but us feel worse about ourselves. 158 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Here's the problem. 159 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Traditionally we've thought that the best way to protect ourselves against psychic vampires, is to protect ourselves. 160 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000 But I'm here to tell you today that if you want to protect yourself, you are doing the exact opposite. 161 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Because the minute you come up with the idea that you need protection from something, 162 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:53,000 you create that thing that you need to be protected from! 163 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,000 In other words we believe ourselves to be a victim the second that we feel like we need to be protected. 164 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,000 No protection technique is going to save you from an energy vampire. 165 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:15,000 So you might ask: “Why is it then, when some people visualize surrounding themselves in a bubble of white light, why does that actually work sometimes?” 166 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,000 It's not because the person is thinking about protecting themselves, it’s because visualizing that white bubble causes them to feel some sense of empowerment. 167 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000 And thus release resistance to the idea that the psychic vampire can share the space with them. 168 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:38,000 In reality this white bubble of light which we are erecting around ourselves mentally is not causing us to have a buffer to that person at all. 169 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:48,000 It’s causing us to raise our frequency to a degree we cannot be utilized by the psychic vampire. But there are some better ways to go about doing this. 170 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,000 If you are a psychic vampire yourself, you will soon find that you cannot actually enjoy the way that other people treat you. 171 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,000 I can promise you they won't treat you well, you will find yourself completely friendless. 172 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:07,000 The most that you can hope for is a temporary rush of a connection with someone who will soon burn out by virtue of being near you 173 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000 because they will separate themselves from you. 174 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000 It takes a good deal of bravery to look at yourself honestly and admit to being an energy vampire. 175 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,000 It's a bit like admitting to being an addict. But it is the first stage to recovery. 176 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Then, you can spend your time catching yourself in the act. 177 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000 Choosing to do something else. Finding a way to meet your needs yourself... 178 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Treating others the way you wish you could be treated. 179 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000 So how do we eradicate a psychic vampire from our lives? 180 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000 You deprive them of their source of energy. 181 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000 They feed off of your weakness. So if your weakness no longer exist they can no longer feed off of you. 182 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,000 Fear is the common denominator between both victims and psychic vampires. 183 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Here's a list of things that the psychic vampire desperately fears. 184 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000 This is in fact what motivates them to prey on others: 185 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Abandonment, betrayal 186 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000 thinking of themselves as bad, torture, 187 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000 the inability to escape pain, 188 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000 being powerless or vulnerable, deficiency, 189 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000 not having enough, deprivation of love, 190 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000 rejection, loss of personal identity, 191 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000 invasion, being controlled, 192 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000 dependence and imperfection. 193 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 So now I'm going to give you some tips that will help you to become the vibrational 194 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,000 match to what you want to be a match to instead of to the psychic vampire. 195 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000 And believe it or not, it's the very same remedy both for the psychic predator and for the victim. 196 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Realize this principle within the universe: 197 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000 It is not possible for them to take energy from you. It is not possible for you to take energy from them. 198 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000 All that is possible, is to behave in a way that influences someone 199 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:09,000 to think thoughts that prevent the source energy from their higher consciousness from flowing through their physical body. 200 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:17,000 It's like you doing something that's causing somebody to put their finger over the hose water so it can't flow through the hose. 201 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000 1. Develop authenticity. 202 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000 You've got to allow yourself to find yourself, and the truth of who you are is that you are who you want to be. 203 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:35,000 The more you behave like that person, the more you will be exactly who you are. 204 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:44,000 Authenticity is extremely important when we are dealing with psychic vampires, because they feed off of our insecurity of self. 205 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Develop autonomy. 206 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000 In other words a way to fulfill your own needs in healthy ways, 207 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000 or develop a kind of relationship with other people that is symbiotic instead of parasitic. 208 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Co-dependent relationships are the meat of psychic vampirism. 209 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:13,000 And the only way to prevent ourselves from that kind of relationship, is to become strong in and of ourselves, to know that we are capable. 210 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:22,000 Learn how to nurture yourself, how to love yourself how to fill up your own cup, for both the vampire 211 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000 and the victim, this is not something you are very good at. 212 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:38,000 But the more you practice the art of doing what it takes to love yourself, the less you are going to need other people to fill up your cup for you. 213 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Commit to your life and commit to your physical body. 214 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:49,000 This may seem trivial, but just because you are here in your physical life does not mean you have committed to your life. 215 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:59,000 It's only when we really commit to our life and commit to ourselves, that we are capable of making the changes necessary that we are no longer a match to either side of vampirism. 216 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Develop self-trust. 217 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:11,000 You really can trust yourself. Your internal guidance system can never be corrupted by another person or another thing. 218 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000 And if you distrust someone else, all that is you distrusting yourself. 219 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000 Because it means that you think you are not capable of discerning what is right for you. 220 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Discerning someone who is good for you from someone who is bad for you. 221 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:34,000 It also means that you don't think that you can do what it takes to make yourself feel good. 222 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000 For the psychic vampire, this is especially true. 223 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:45,000 As victims it is true as well, we do not feel as if we can do what it takes to keep ourselves safe or to keep ourselves happy. 224 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:55,000 But the vampire sucks from others, does things to influence others so that they can feel good, because you don't feel capable of making yourself feel good on your own. 225 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Learn how to see and accept nuances, complexities and grey areas. 226 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:10,000 For those of us that are stuck in the role of vampire and victim, we have a very hard time seeing the world as it really is. 227 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:16,000 We see it in terms of black and white, a world of villains and heroes, villains and victims. 228 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Seeing the world in this way, makes us feel as if we live in a dangerous world. 229 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:30,000 It perpetuates a worldview which does not serve us very well, and that means that we will choose to polarize ourselves on one side or the other, 230 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000 instead of a grasped that we are both. 231 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Study the behaviors that you want to receive from others. Do you want to be caressed? Do you want to be listened to? 232 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000 If you see any behavior that you wish to receive, start doing that to others. 233 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000 That will make you a vibrational match to receiving those behaviors. 234 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Anything that you can think, anything that you can do, that will put you in a space of feeling empowered, 235 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:03,000 will make it so that you were a vibrational match which is outside the range of that which a psychic vampire can access. 236 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000 So here's the moment of truth. 237 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:14,000 The less fearful thoughts you think, the less fearful you will feel and thus the vibration you hold will be too high 238 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:22,000 to be engaged on either side of a relationship that mirrors vampirism. 239 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:29,000 And it is true, if we are being honest with ourselves, that all of us have a little bit of psychic vampire within us. 240 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Have a good week. :)
