Earth is an awakening school. And seemingly for milenia, form and formless conscious beings and entities have existed way before even humans did. There are schools of thoughts that believe that humans are considered the “newbies” here on this beautiful planet. Don’t get it twisted, to see ultimate beauty here and now, means transcending judgment, and through the lens of unconditional love can one truly experience, in my feels, what it truly means to live in bliss as a human being. To understand energy (Qi) or blood vampires, is to also understand how they feed. An aspect of how they feed, is an aspect of how us humans feed, even as we experience watching TV programs, within the realms of quantum mechanics and energy exchange theories. I speak from my personal biology (embodiment) of experience, but the very entity or being you are afraid of, or casting protections against, is more than likely how they feed. The really old ones are very evolved, and they want you to react, as in action, versus being neutral (as in truly knowing thyself). See, they feed on your ignorance and the energy you emit from your ‘fight or flight’ hormonal response mechanisms. Many entities can even feed on your auric emf fields, and it’s all they need to survive. In real martial self-defense, there exists neurological warfare in training. Meaning, the war is one even before it began. Or you can read the book, “The Art of War,” by Sun Tzu, per se. We humans feed off each other’s experiences all the time. Such as the bully feeding off the weakness of his prey, as one example. Or, if you would like to dive deeper into the realms of “Hungry Ghosts,” also called “Gui,” in esoteric Chinese medicine in treating parasites or entity possessions. To understand how even humans are proven to be more than capable of becoming energy vampires, or even worse, physical oppressors. You become less of fear (fear-less) when you become more educated on the physiology and the deeper aspects of what really drives your fears. As you mature with knowledge (and eventual wisdom), you become more aware as to how your unconscious mind literally feeds these dark entities as many of them cannot exist without your Qi, Blood, or Flesh (hidden message here). They have been doing this to you and “our” kind since the beginning of times, aka the holy war, or the war of the conscious mind between “good” and “evil.” But we cannot dive deeper within this field of higher understanding and in cross-referencing or comparison between the predator and the prey. We need to first and foremost to transcend judgment of self and of others, and with no conditions. Otherwise, this energy is exactly how they know they will continue to prey on us energetically. Become aware of your fears, and you will see how you may have attracted the ability to see entities who may have been feeding on humans most of their experienced life form. They work in realms of the fears and ignorance of the human collective, as this is where they charge and recharge their powers. Once you transcend your personal powers by understanding your Qi (this includes knowing your fears), transcending judgment, and with a self-protected presence of mind and soul, then they hide again because your presence becomes a prayer of unconditional love. They may not be ready for this energy yet, which is why they need to hide again because they have not yet transcended their hell (like how many can’t transcend judgment). And when they don’t hide from you, it could possibly be that you both may be experiencing versions of your dark side at the same moment. Maybe you are being reminded by your guides that you are always protected and that you came to this planet to transcend dark into light. Means you need to become the frequency of dark as a receiver, and to trust you will transmute all and any energy into divine unconditional Love. But you need to run away a couple of times or feel like a warding-away spiritual warrior until you get the hang of it first!!! Lol! :) Peace and Love.
