NOT ALL VAMPIRES

SUCK BLOOD!

SATANISM represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic

vampires.

Many people who walk the earth practice the fine art of making others feel responsible

and even indebted to them, without cause. Satanism observes these leeches in their true

light. Psychic vampires are individuals who drain others of their vital energy. This type

of person can be found in all avenues of society. They fill no useful purpose in our

lives, and are neither love objects nor true friends. Yet we feel responsible to the

psychic vampire without knowing why.

If you think you may be the victim of such a person, there are a few simple rules which will

help you form a decision. Is there a person you often call or visit, even though you really don't

want to, because you know you will feel guilty if you don't? Or, do you find yourself

constantly doing favors for one who doesn't come forward and ask, but hints? Often the

psychic vampire will use reverse psychology, saying: "Oh, I couldn't ask you to do that" - and

you, in turn, insist upon doing it. The psychic vampire never demands anything of you. That

would be far too presumptuous. They simply let their wishes be known in subtle ways which

will prevent them from being considered pests. They "wouldn't think of imposing" and are

always content and willingly accept their lot, without the slightest complaint - outwardly!

Their sins are not of commission, but of omission. It's what they don't say, not what they do

say, that makes you feel you must account to them. They are much too crafty to make overt

demands upon you, because they know you would resent it, and would have a tangible and

legitimate reason for denying them.

A large percentage of these people have special "attributes" which make their dependence

upon you more feasible and much more effective. Many psychic vampires are invalids (or

pretend to be) or are "mentally or emotionally disturbed." Others might feign ignorance or

incompetence so you will, out of pity - or more often, exasperation - do things for them.

The traditional way to banish a demon or elemental is to recognize it for what it is, and

exorcise it. Recognition of these modern-day demons and their methods is the only antidote

for their devastating hold over you.

Most people accept these passively vicious individuals at face value only because their

insidious maneuvers have never been pointed out to them. They merely accept these "poor

souls" as being less fortunate than themselves, and feel they must help them however they

can. It is this misdirected sense of responsibility (or unfounded sense of guilt) which

nourishes well the "altruisms" upon which these parasites feast!

The psychic vampire is allowed to exist because he cleverly chooses conscientious,
