Life Transformation Through Mind Renewal
"Beware Of The Vampires!"
by D. V. Cummings
What are vampires?
Do vampires really exist?
How can one tell if he or she has had an encounter with a vampire?
These are some of the questions that people ask when they read the title of this article. Although the title sounds sort of funny, it is by all means a very serious subject. For you see, vampires really do exist.
When discussing vampires, the walking dead normally come to mind. Blood-sucking corpses that were eternally doomed to walk the earth at night while haunting their victims are most commonly associated with the name 'vampire'. This 'literal' concept of a vampire is, in all actuality, bogus. Yes, vampires really do exist. However, they are not the physically deceased, blood-sucking corps that we are accustomed to believe that they are. The vampires that really exist are self-centered individuals who thrive on low energy. These are the individuals who are so filled with inner hatred and negativity, and their lives are so full of self-created drama that they will mentally and spiritually 'drain' all of the life force from any individual that comes into contact with them.
Like the mythical creatures that represent them, these individuals are never satisfied unless everyone is experiencing their misery; they complain about everything and everyone. They embrace a world of problems and they never take any responsibility whatsoever for their lives. Instead, they embrace the belief that everyone is responsible for their problems but themselves. They also embrace the belief that someone is always out to do them harm in some sort of way. As a result of this mindset, these individuals are extremely argumentive and they live their lives very defensively.
Exactly how do vampires treat their victims?
Vampires are extremely cunning individuals. They choose their victims very carefully. Usually, they prey upon good, kind-hearted people. They see kind-heartedness as a weakness - a weakness that ensures them complete success when overtaking their subjects.
First, they will extend their hand of friendship (to the victims) while reading their victims' energy. Any sign of vulnerability (such as low self-esteem, insecurity or passivity) gives the vampires permission to violate these unknowing individuals through emotional domination.
Immediately, the predators proceed to isolate their victims from everyone and everything. They do this by requiring all of their victims' time and undivided attention. (They start off asking for a little of the victims' time and attention (a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on), only to utilize virtually all of their victims' time as well as all of their victims' undivided attention). Once the vampire receives the victims' 'listening ears' and 'shoulders to cry on', the victims are directed straight towards the predators' personal problems and foolish phobias.
An unearthly atmosphere of stress is created as the predators hypnotically hold their victims hostage with their depressing conversations.
These 'vampires' spew their poison in every conversation that they hold. After unloading all of their distaste for life onto their victims, they literally paralyze their victims with an overload of depressive words, attitudes, gestures and evil insinuations. They literally reject all encouragement and help that their victims offer them, thus destroying all optimistic emotions that the victims attempt to create.
Once they emotionally 'wear down' their victims, they verbally 'tear' into their victims by picking apart and attacking every word that comes from their victims' mouths.
Finally, they proceed to make the victims the true object of their hatred by accusing them of being the true source of all their earthly problems.
The victims are left in a total state of devastation - mentally traumatized, emotionally drained of all energy and destroyed spiritually. As a result, they find themselves in a state of great bewilderment, confusion and self-hatred. This state creates a mindset of debilitating fear and futility - which in turn, causes the victims to release whatever power they have left to their tormentors.
Ironically, these vampires will never cut off their so-called friendship with their victims. Instead, they will use self-pity, suicide, witchcraft, the victims' religious beliefs, fear and any other tactics that they can think of to keep total power and control over their victims while they continue on their rampage of terror.
How does one keep from being a victim?
1. The first step an individual must take to safeguard him or herself from falling victim to vampires is to know that Love is the greatest power of all -and God IS Love.
2. Know that God IS your Divine Source.
3. Know who you are. Understand that you are a wonderful spiritual being who was created in Divine love and the greatest power of all (which is love) dwells inside of you. Also, know that through this love you have access to your Divine Source.
4. Take full advantage of that Divine access to confirm who and what you are. Experiencing a personal relationship with your Source via prayer, meditation and positive self-affirmations helps you to do this. Your personal relationship with the Divine will also help you to nurture your spirit.
5. Know that your Source has given you a truly wonderful purpose in this universe. Also know that your Source has given you the power to fulfill your purpose on this earth - and no one can prevent you from fulfilling your true purpose. So, never forget your greatness.
6. Take full responsibility for everything that goes on in your life. Always keep it in mind that you are the only one who decides whether or not you will succeed or fail in life - you and no one else.
7. Never forget about the Law of Attraction. Always remember that the same energy that you put out into the Universe will always return to you. If you resonate the energy of a victim, you will surely attract predators into your life. When an individual possess healthy self-esteem, it is reflected in every area of that individual's life. That individual will also resonate the positive energy that will - in turn, attract positive people into his or her life.
8. Always keep a positive outlook and a positive self-image - no matter what. Never permit anyone or anything to tear down your self-esteem. Remember, other people's opinions of you are just what they are - opinions and nothing more; and people are entitled to have them. However, just because they have them doesn't mean that they are true. Only you have the power to make them true. The only way they can become a reality is if you believe in them. Understand that when you believe in them, you also give your power over to those who own them.
9. Never, ever give away your power to anyone. Your personal power belongs to you and you alone. The Creator will never require that you give away your personal power. So, no one else have the right to require it from you. Also, exercise your personal power. People who exercise their personal power on a daily basis always send the message of power out into the universe, which attract more power. Vampires are normally weak people who seek out individuals who they perceive to be weaker than themselves. So vampires shun powerful people.
10. Never allow anyone to burden you with his or her problems. Listening to drama, and giving sound advice to individuals who refuse to receive it is only a waste of your valuable time (because it drains you of all your energy). You also "set yourself up" to be victimized. So remember, unless you are a certified, bonified psychiatrist, psychotherapist or exorcist, you are under no obligation to listen to people's problems. This may sound cruel, however, when dealing with vampires it is a very good policy to follow. The average vampire will not seek out professional help because the professionals have enough sense to charge a nominal fee for services. The professionals are also trained to both identify and deal with vampires.
11. Know exactly what a true friend really is. A true friend will never desire to take any type of dominion over you. Instead, he or she will do and say all that can be done and said to encourage you to be the best that you can be. A true friend will also, help raise your energy level.
12. Caution must always be in practice when meeting new people. Here's a good rule of thumb:
If I you do not experience peace within your spirit when encountering an individual, then do not accept that individual as your friend. In other words, if an individual resonate any type of negative vibrations, avoid them at all cost.
13. Release ALL negative individuals (such as relatives, acquaintances, so-called friends, spouses, lovers, co-workers and neighbors) who possess toxic personalities. Quickly dismiss them from your world. Understand that these individuals will only generate garbage in your life. You are far better off without the emotional baggage that they bring.
Always keep this wonderful information in your mind and in your heart and you will live a life filled with victory. You will be a victor instead of a victim.
I truly hope that these 'words of wisdom' assist you in your intentions for a life of peace, tranquility and well-being.
