My interest in psychic vampirism began over twenty-five years ago when I received a research contract to study the human energy system from a seemingly unlikely source—the U.S. Army Missile Research and Development Command. Although the purpose of the project was to investigate the energy field enveloping the human body, it became increasingly evident during the thirteen-month study that the body's external energy field, commonly called the human aura, is but an outward manifestation of a dynamic internal energy system. Conducted at Athens State College (now University), the study, along with several follow-up projects, found the human energy system to be a highly sensitive, complex phenomenon that is affected by the mental and physical state of the individual as well as a host of external factors. Of particular relevance to the system are a variety of social influences, including our interactions with other human energy systems.

Taken together, the evidence is clear—the human energy system, with its complex structure and functions, is flawlessly engineered to energize and sustain our existence as an indestructible life-force entity. It transcends biology in essence, function, and design. Without question, the deeper our understanding of that energy system and the forces that affect it, the richer the quality of our present lives and the greater our potential for future growth.

Exquisitely designed, the human energy system is flexible and developmental in nature. Figuring out ways to empower that system and promote its evolvement is one of our greatest challenges. We now know that the human energy system is responsive to the same conditions that enrich our overall growth, such as an enriched environment, a positive self-image, a sense of well-being, and a state of inner balance. Similarly, the conditions that impair our total growth likewise impair the energy system and its functions.

Psychic vampirism is a widespread yet often unrecognized human energy phenomenon that can interrupt our growth and impede our progress. As already noted, it exists in a variety of forms, each of which subtly consumes its victim's energy and over the long haul, erodes the energy system itself. Although no known force can totally destroy the human energy system because of its cosmic makeup, psychic vampirism can impair its functions and seriously damage its capacity to energize growth. Consequently, understanding psychic vampirism and, equally as important, mastering the psychic empowerment strategies related to it are critical in our struggle to realize our growth potentials and achieve our highest level of self-fulfillment.

Although psychic vampirism exists in various forms, the expression, unless qualified, typically denotes psychic vampirism between two persons, the one being the psychic vampire and the other the host victim. In that context, the psychic vampire, who is deficient in energy resources, taps the energy reserve of a host victim for the express purpose of extracting energy from it. The immediate effects vary but usually include a new surge of revitalizing energy for the psychic vampire and a critical depletion of essential energy for the vampirized victim.

Unfortunately, the long-term consequences of recurring vampire assaults on the energy system can be extremely harmful, not only for the host victim but for the psychic vampire as well. Short-circuiting the internal energy system sabotages the psychic vampire's personal development, thus arresting healthy development and making repeated vampire interactions necessary. The host victim's energy system, on the other hand, becomes stressed by the depletion of energy and overworked in order to generate new energy. Given recurrent attacks, the victim's energy supply can become chronically depleted and the internal energy system itself can become severely damaged.

While psychic vampirism between two persons is widespread, it exists, as already noted, in a variety of other forms, some of which are explored in depth for the first time in this book. Included are several types of self-contained or parasitic vampirism, which is vampirism turned inwardly, along with group vampirism, a collective form of social psychic vampirism which is often found among informal groups as well as structured organizations and institutions. As we will later see, the different forms of psychic vampirism are in some ways similar; however the tactics used by psychic vampires vary widely, depending largely on the type of vampirism and the setting in which it occurs.

My major purpose in writing this book is two-fold: first, to promote a better understanding of contemporary psychic vampirism in its multiple forms; and second, to offer relevant strategies which can be used by everyone to take decisive command of any psychic vampire situation. To achieve these goals, we will first examine the roots of contemporary psychic vampirism—including fiction and folklore. We will then look at the human energy system and explore its relevance to psychic vampirism. Next, we will explore ways of identifying psychic vampirism and explaining the different manifestations of this interesting but menacing phenomenon. We will present totally new step-by-step procedures for counteracting psychic vampirism and protecting oneself against it. We will also offer highly specific procedures that can be used by the psychic vampire to overcome the vampire impulse and reverse its self-defeating effects.

The concepts and strategies presented throughout this book are based, not on theory or speculation, but on controlled laboratory experiments conducted in the college setting over the past quarter century by the author with the assistance of students and researchers from various disciplines. Admittedly, our studies of psychic vampirism have raised many important questions yet to be answered. Nevertheless, we finally know enough about this complex phenomenon not only to identify it when it occurs, but also to take immediate, decisive action to confront and overcome it.

Fictional and Folklore Roots

Psychic vampirism has a long and colorful history that embraces contributions of both fiction and folklore. Throughout history, fictional concepts were often the forerunners for important cultural progress. They found their way into our culture because they contributed in some way to our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Science fiction, in particular, has repeatedly exploded the conventional envelope by generating highly creative concepts and even detailed designs that led to new knowledge and major advancements in science and technology. A striking example is biometrics. First introduced as fiction, various biometric strategies, including electrosensory recordings and iris scans, are now routinely used in many security settings for identification purposes. The recent breaking of the human genetic code is an even more striking example of how science fiction introduced new concepts and technologies that fueled later scientific advancements.

Equally as important as the contributions of science fiction to cultural progress are the imaginative myths and legends that introduced many basic elements considered relevant to our contemporary understanding of human behavior. Included are the many concepts based on Greek mythology that found their way, first into psychoanalysis and then into mainstream thinking. Among the familiar examples are the Oedipus and Electra complexes, which represent respectively the male and female child's attraction to parent of the other sex. According to many contemporary child development specialists, these complexes if unresolved can generate serious growth obstacles and later adjustment problems in adolescence and adulthood. Our studies found, in fact, that psychic vampirism is often associated with unresolved...
