how much blood do you have to drink to actualy gain a level of purity

Who ever said you need to drink blood to reach purity? Who defines pure? Confusius drank his URINE, to obtain purity but he just merely cleaned out his system. Other than that, I've never heard of that....

first time ive heard of that

I ve never heard of anything quite like that.. Interested in what others might say about this however....

Interesting thought of blood for purity . . . something to think about.

and I also heard that Ghandi drank his urine

No blood is necassary...It's all about Energy, Will , Knowledge, and Intent....

Well, at least it's a new one !
And yeah, like enigma said, listen to him , he's intelligent.

hmm....thats new to my ears

yea i must agree i never heard of anythign lik that i agree with enigma

Enigma is extremely intelligent on this matter, as said above ;-) listen and maybe he'll guide you as he is me

Enigma, please explain. I'd love to hear about this, as I've never heard anything about drinking blood for purity. Although it does make for a good question.

Purity is a product of opinion, hence, a mental creation. In that respect, a physical substance can bring no purity..as Enigma said..intent and knowledge are key factors here. However, if that dosen't work for you..try six gallons or so. :)

I would think that (as far as blood-drinking goes) that it would depend on where you are getting your supply from. The closer you are to one of the Ancients, the purer the blood will be, hence the more from that source you get, the purer you will become.

The longer I am on this site, the more wisdom I find in Enigma . . .

SImple reseacrch reveals, after the 5th kill of any noblemens child.

I think each person is different in obtain what one could call purity and their methods are different. Now I drink blood and feed off energy to obtain more power or to refresh mine in the long run.

Purity can be reached through verious means, Baptisim is the most extent form of such ideals of Purity. This is to represent the washing of sin away off the soul.

Yet, drinking blood to become pure, whoever told you that has lied. consuming blood to become pure will only cause you to become severly ill. Those of us who are Sanguine feeders, we do not drink blood to become pure or because we like it, its because there is a rush to it and the potency of such life energy in such a small dose is needed to help move us about.

Sure we can just simply take through ambiant feeding, yet, its not as powerful as taking a lick from a cut from a donor.

Enigma, I am curious to know what it is you mean by "intent". I know I have my evil tendencies, and if I ever came to a state of purity, could I not have a state of "pure" evil? So how can it be based on intent if there are different intents based on so many different beliefs? I understand, you need so much energy, so much will, so much knowledge, but I do not agree with intent because intent is such a vast range. The others I agree are universal, but intent I do not see as necessary.

I didn't hear Enigma suggest a certain intent, since as you said..intentions are as abundant and variable as anything else. This goes back to the notion that purity is a state of mind. If you believed that being "evil", as you saw it, was a state of purity..then becoming moreso would make you more pure. Likewise, the opposite will hold true with someone else. The fact that there is bound to be variation doesn't make it any less of an intention. These are choices here..the intent is the meat of this ascension.

Exactly mrd. So how can Enigma say that intent is a way to reach purity when A) purity is too diverse due to own view points, and B) intent is different for everyone. People say that he is wise, I am merely wishing to see HOW wise he is, not a personal attack, mind you. I am just curious as to why he put intent into a way to reach "purity".

I understand what you are saying, but I think most people understand that there is no single road to purity. But you have to want to walk down that road and you have to want to learn something from it..regardless of what that road means to you or someone else. Intent implies applying focus with a goal, it allows you to use knowledge as a tool. That's just what I think anyway.

I think by 'intent' he meant the intent to follow your path to personal purity, whatever it may be for you. Or there is still something he isn't telling us...

well i think that it pure to drink not pure to drink out of anger

Energy is the life force...it provides the vital essence

in fiction, to drink the blood of a unicorn will bring you purity, but also drive you into madness,
in vampirism to drink blood is to feed, to fuel themselves to power,

Ok what is your definition of "purity"?

i do not know, there are many, there are the cleansing of all sins, perfect health amongst many others, perhaps purity is a mixture of all the qualities?

I've never heard of that but I have drank quite a lot and I don't think I'm pure at all... If you find anything out please let me know...*vanishes*

LaMuerte has it...There are many different types of Paths, in fact each has their own seperate type...For the Intent to be pure, One has to be completely Honest and True to One's self and Beliefs...The deeper One looks into themselves, the more Pure they can become...And yes One can be Pure Evil...But again that would have to be their True Path...I very rarelly come across it...But it is out there...

Thank you for clearing that up for me Enigma. I was somewhat curious after what LaMuerte said whether I had taken your words the wrong way.

puirity???
no one is pure except babies and children..and then thats only fior a very short time
you cant gain back purity unless you die

interesting

I agree with enigma. there is no better response.

the level of blood you may have to drink might depend on how pure you are in the first place
