      The Vampire's "gift of power"
      The Vampire is not a free being. He is a creature who lives with
      delusion, who thinks he is acting on his own behalf and in his own
      exclusive interest, while in reality he is acting on behalf of the forces
      of Nothingness or, for those who look at things from a religious
      standpoint, on behalf of the forces of Evil. He is therefore subject to
      rigid rules: when stealing energy he must give his victim something in
      exchange that will give him the impression that he is being compensated,
      something that renders him in some way consenting, in spite of himself.
      Naturally it's a "gift of power", such as, the attention or
      complicity of the predator himself, an anesthetic oblivion when faced with
      painful events, the acquisition of the ability to lie shamelessly or lead
      others to believe something, or an illusory sense of security that allows
      one to overcome fear, anxiety and panic in various situations in life. It is therefore very important to try to understand which gifts we
      personally acquire when we let Vampires rob us of our energy, because in
      accepting those gifts we are deliberately adhering to their world,
      transforming ourselves into donors of vital energy to benefit Nothingness.
      On the other hand, the ability to clearly comprehend which gifts we
      receive each time affords us the possibility of resisting their influence
      and refusing them, thereby reducing the Vampire's range. 
 The Vampire's war against the innocent/powerfulThe fact that each of us finds it natural to adhere - to a greater or
      lesser degree according to our own personal background - to this process
      is a consequence of the enormous diffusion of the vampiric phenomenon. The
      stressful, mechanical way of life of this historical time results in a
      relentless attempt at reciprocal thefts of energy, without anyone, victim
      or destroyer, being fully aware of it. When someone, consciously or instinctively, withdraws from the process,
      refusing to adhere to requests for complicity, to the winking and the
      "we understand each other's" with which the Vampire binds his
      victims, when someone shows that he is not willing to let his energy be
      robbed or to rob energy from others, he is immediately branded as an alien
      being: he's not like the others, he's different, he's "strange".
      At first he is singled out as an idiot with a tendency toward
      self-destruction, then conversely as an astute, untrustworthy weaver of
      occult plots... In any case, someone whom it is best to isolate. Such an individual has dared to violate the Vampire's laws, by
      projecting the figure of an innocent/powerful one. This makes the Vampire
      scream "heresy", since for him the world is divided into two
      types of people: either one is innocent (prey/victims) or one is powerful
      (predators/Vampires). The former must serve as food for the latter, and
      the latter must dominate. This is the Vampire's law. This is the law that
      the Anti Vampire Center advises we not accept.
