Liar's blog: "the Blood is the Life"

The world exists in two forms of order. The natural, or coincidental order, that which is defined and restricted by the laws of science, laws which give little under variation of circumstance, which are rigid and strict, such as the law of conservation of energy. All energy lasts forever, it merely changes form when necessary or allowable. All energy is capable of acting on and joining with other energy to aid in change and adaptation. Change is natural and inevitable, due to existence not being uniform. The other form of order is the affected or complimentary order these are the laws of nature that are not uniform within all circumstances. These kinds of order can be affected by beings and energies by exerting their will to change the circumstances. This being the basis for magickal working, focusing the will to achieve an end outside of the limits of ordinary function. Within these orders exists the fundamental energy. All knowledge and will is contained within this energy. The energy is not centralized to any areas, but it does have a tendency to bind together so as to expand influence, increase attainment of knowledge, and increase complexity of form so as to better influence circumstances. This also allows for greater, as well as better, control of itself. From applying these forms of order to nature the aspects of thought and creation can be better understood. First, consider the role of different parts of nature. It has formerly been assumed that rain exists for the plants to grow, the plants for the animals to eat and so on. I say, to the contrary, that the prior existence of air, water, soil, and so on make it possible for the plant to exist and thus the plant was formed by available energy grouping together into the necessary complexities so as to allow for it to take advantage of the pre-existing elements. If different elements are available the possible forms of existance are thus changed. In the end all energy will strive to do whatever is necessary to allow for greater complexity and thus greater knowledge and will from the forms that are added. This shows a kind of ordered evolution, controlled by the want for betterment of the whole of the energy. Thus the imagined dietific forms are creations of the "collective conscience" of the energy to help insure the impetus toward betterment of the whole. Allowing each complexity to express itself to its fullest self realization and purpose is thus necessary. Creating a basis for moral structure. Within this form also exists the urge for self preservation of each complexity until its natural ending point. Compelling the need of self sacrafice of certain complexities to the greater good as well as the advancement of techniques for prolonging the allowable course of existence for each complexity. This sets a basis for predatory urges, but as said before, this is a form affected by surrounding circumstances. In any particular case a complexity developed to the point of reason must look at which actions will allow for the greatest perpetuation both of itself, and to a greater extent, the whole scope of energy complexes. Thus it can fall within reason, that a complexity, deveolped to the point of reason, may sacrafice itself to allow for the preservation of greater numbers, and in some cases the preservation of ideas which would increase the learning curve of the whole of that form of complexity. it is also somewhat allowable for a reasoning complex to end the course of non-reasoning complexes so as to perpetuate its own existence. In the case of reasoning complexes though, all attempts should be made at advancement and preservation unless they specifically are a threat to perpetuation of the course of another complex or complexes outside of the need for sustanence. Thus if a person were to show such ignorance as to end the lives of other persons, with necessary reasoning for their own preservation, an attempt at reasoning should be made, removing them from a situation where they would be likely to do any more harm, until such time as it can be assured that such acts would not be perpetuated again. Only in extreme cases, where no other possible ourse has proven effective, should life be terminated.

First off I have to comment on the fact that I dont usually post such material on general forums. We find that a rather large number of people have trouble understanding the lifestyle and therefore we sometimes recieve expressions of outright hatred due to this. Therefore I must state that if you have any negative comments about my lifestyle or that of my bretheren then keep it to yourself. The general ideas of the Sanguine/Vampiric community tend to be very similar to the general ideas of Ds relations, except in the more organized scene it tends to become more complicated and grandiose, coming from the interactions of coucils and courts. In the most basic of terms the vampiric relationship breaks down to a variant of the Ds wheras the vampire is in the role of master and and those they feed upon, often known as donors, take the role of the submissive. In the preferred form of this relation the donor is a non-vampire(often referred to as mundane) and is only donor for the one vampire as there are concerns of disease in the sanguine practices, and also worries of the donor being weakened too much from overfeeding. It is quite common to find vampiric couples in a codependant relationship, taking turns feeding back and forth. This can maintain the stability of the vampiric state in those that are afflicted with it. These couples do still tend to find the need for donors or other forms of outside energy to supplement their own supplies as they will get depleted from time to time, and nothing is worse than having hunger pains that wont go away. Now as for the more complicated aspects of the vampiric relations. In most of the larger cities there are houses, covens, courts, councils and various other assorted organizations of the vampiric. A vast majority of these are tied into national or international organizations such as the Sanguinarium or Vampire Church. These groups tend to have at least some sort of religious slant to them as the need for feeding is tied into beliefs about how the body either generates or aquires its natural energy supplies, but that is a discussion for another time. As religious entities they are very heirarchical, with rank being granted either though experience or talent, as well of course with who you know and who likes you(this is a social group after all). New members are expected to show respect and often even open subservience to the elders and leaders of a group. This can often times be very uncomfortable for people first coming into the group. This tends to be based on centuries of old traditions among groups dealing with magick and secrecy. I have even known of some groups that are tied in through ancestry going back hundreds of years. It is common practice for vampires to feed off of one another as means of showing favoratism or servitude as the larger groups can be very political in nature. There is also a bit of ritualistic feeding and domination done in these groups as well, seeing as a large number involved tend to practice pagan or satanic religions due to their darker path. Now don't get me wrong, not all paganism is dark but some of it can be very harsh and violent in its rituals, such as the asatru(forgive me odin but your a cruel taskmaster at times). For the most part though the relations involved tend to be of the more basic and less complicated type as a lot of us tend to keep to ourselves and only really interact with others over the internet. When it comes to the Sanguine feeding these interactions are mostly to set up relations with donors. As for the rest of us psychic vampirism is rampant in online communities. For the most part it is master/donor relations conducted through the net. There have however been all kinds of problems in established communities and chat rooms as some of the newer vamps tend to not understand protocol for such interactions, and will often stir up trouble just for the fun of it, and so that they can feed from the stray emotional energies. This has sometimes caused strife between the pure sang and the psy vamps as the sang do not like being forcefully fed upon by psy's anymore than anyone does and they tend to not have the developed defenses that the natural psy vamps do. Add in to this the fact that in these communities the fantasy world tends to drive relations and you find people who can be wholly delusional trying to essentially mentally rape you if your guard is down. Therefore I have to warn anyone who is not sure about their vampiric status to delve into the chat rooms with caution.
