RED DAWN said:If you're draining people who don't meditate in order to empower yourself, it's objectively better to use other sources like the sun. I've practiced psychic vampirism enough to know that your experiences are accurate, but I also noticed odd decisions and ineffective methods. I didn't appreciate you writing about this topic in a vague way for a sense of some moral obligation, but it seems people disagree with you writing it at all in favour of such.
A few things that I disagree with are the use of tendrils, absorbing their energy into your chakras/aura and that there is any moral boundaries in defeating an enemy.
It's more effective to use existing devices than creating a single use thoughtform. Personally I've been using my hands/arms instead of your tendril idea, having a black aura to help in absorption. It's obvious why this is more effective, but if not I'll quickly explain: the arms are a natural extension of the heart chakra and have meditation methods specific to them. The absorbed energy then gets drawn into a sphere of energy isolated from my own, then either banished or used to empower an attack on the individual. I strongly disagree with any arguments that suggest practicing psychic vampirism on an enemy is immoral, but I strongly agree that there's better alternatives for empowerment. If you're practicing psychic vampirism for anything other than a disruptive offensive strategy, you're wasting your time and exposing yourself to unnecessary risks.
If you decide to use tendrils, you can clean them afterwards. Cutting them off after each use is incredibly ineffective, and suggest the tendrils you use aren't that advanced. It's best in my opinion to do a destruction ritual on the person, then when their defensive auras are weakened to use psychic vampirism to prevent them from recovering and countering.
I don't think I need to explain in simple words why you shouldn't leave such energy pathways active and functioning subconsciously with the average rotting soul. I think you should be able to understand why if you think about it.
You do understand making it easier to absorb means making it easier to absorb ALL manner of energy right?
You are much better off simply focusing sharply on the energy you wish to pull than using a black aura when you are connecting with someone. This is extremely dangerous.
Without being snarky, do what works for you. I personally find draining with the arms or hands to be dirty and inaccurate. If the point is to simply violently rip energy to deplete someone, this works better yes...like I said, Maxine's ripping method is better for pure destruction/depletion. In my experience people become irritable and hostile to you when you do this to them in this manner, hence the tendril method. The point of tendrils is creating a pathway for energy that specifically targets a person's chakra, while being undetectable to the average soul. In my experience this is very successful.
You should re-read the post more carefully.
I keep things vague so that curious inexperienced souls won't be dabbling in this before they are ready and pollute themselves. People who don't know what they are doing and lack prior knowledge of basics of magick, will create inept tendrils that accomplish nothing. And also because I don't feel like writing a 10 page article going into the very basics of how the breath works, timings, trance and so on.
