The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Since a time ago, I've been practicing a type of vampiric meditation that, honestly, is helping me a lot.

It consists of meditating on the meaning of each of the levels that VR proposes in the progress of its members: whelp, leech, parasite....malefactor, blood drinker....primogenitor, sire, etc. That is to say, my technique consists of meditating on the symbolism associated with each level, its characteristics, its meaning in history and literature... and after gathering all the possible information, confronting it with the personal situation, with the natural or supernatural capacities, with the objectives, difficulties, aids, etc. It is amazing how much information is obtained and, by the way, very useful information for self-knowledge and for progress towards that ideal of vampire nature we are aiming for.

For example, as of today (04.09.2023 of the common era or September 4 of the year 5023 after Lilitu), my level is that of "Doppelganger". By the way, several people have advised me to be somewhat careful with this level, as a Doppelganger has the potential not only to see everything you see, but also to experience everything you experience. Aside from that, in researching, I have found the following information:

Doppelganger is a biologically unrelated look-alike, or a double, of a living person. In mythology, a doppelgänger is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. Other traditions and stories equate a doppelgänger with an evil twin. In modern times, the term twin stranger is occasionally used. (For further details, you can look for it at Wikipedia).

Well, in my particular case, meditating on the "Doppelganger level" helps me to analyze possible bipolarities, character changes, unstable spirituality, etc.

Do you have any experience on vampire spirituality and meditation based on vampire mythology?

Thank you, EstrangedOne, for your thoughts that I'm considering.

I practice some of the things described in the book "Sanguinaricon". Black mirror meditations for example. I think its helped center me more.

I find the idea of meditating on the levels pretty interesting. I often meditate on language that comes up a lot for me or is particularly gripping, looking for the seeds of some greater truth or understanding within that prompt.

I mean as far as meditations go archetypes can be meditated on. I am just learning more about the vampire community, but I have always been one; just in a different context socially. I am really glad to talk about this stuff and have been a bit underwhelmed with the amount of good conversation about vampyric topics here. There is some though.

To the note on being surrounded by religion while you look for something biological I guess I can relate to that. Reminds me of having this clearly physical expericence that no one else seemed to have a reason for or want to talk about and so as a kid I turned to my own spirituality to address physical needs as I was Pretty ill and messed up so that was what was available. The spiritual aspects helped hold my own mind together until I could address the physicalities better. I raged against religion. I knew spiritual stuff was real because I could see and feel stuff happening and moving around and it can be infuriating when religion doesn't want to address these things.

Basically I feel like riding the edge of what is physically possible and spirituallity are very much entwined. Technology is also mirrored off of reality so studying reality through meditation and such can bring greater clarity about the technology of our bodies.
