Author: [[John Kreiter]] Full Title: Vampire’s Way to Psychic Self-Defense Category: #books The visualization that works best for me is to try and imagine that I am drawing in a black cloud of energy into myself. I see this black cloud around me and I visualize this energy being drawn into me as I do my reverse breathing. As this cloud of life energy comes into contact with my skin, I visualize a feeling of tension that runs all the way from my skin to the center of my body like a wave. I then do the advanced reserve breathing and visualize that this energy that I have sucked up is being concentrated into a powerful ball of energy right in the middle of my cauldron. Transmutation then is the result of a change in belief and attitude. When you begin to ingest this dark negative energy, you might feel that you are going completely against what you have been taught and for many of you this will be true. When I do this kind of ingestion, I like to imagine that I am ingesting a black cloud, a dark evil mist that enters into me through my efforts and pools itself inside my cauldron. Current logic on the subject would have you believe that this is one of the most terrible things you could do because you are basically eating poison. This might be the case if you maintained old beliefs, erroneous beliefs, about what life energy really is. But through the use of the predatory mindset, you are essentially transmuting that negative pool into powerful life-giving energy. As you attack this negative energy, bite down on it and eat it, consume it and bring it into yourself as a powerful predatory monster, you also transmute it through the sheer ferocity of your spirit; a ferocious spirit that has the power to change your beliefs about what this energy can be, and so through this change in belief and attitude, the transmutation of energy occurs. – Secondly a predatory demeanor will allow you to have the energy and the intent to fight against the negative intent of others. As I’ve said, there is negative intent in others and this negative intent can be quite debilitating and harmful sometimes. In order to overcome this negative intent, so that you can take the energy that is backing up this intent and consume it for your own benefit, you must have the predatory drive to overcome any obstacle. A predator is a hunter and a hunter never gives up without a fight. When you successfully engage your predatory self, you will be able to actively fight off mean and harmful intent because your intent, as a fierce predatory creature, is to grab the energy behind this bad foreign intent and consume it for your own benefit.
