On the subject of vampirism... I wouldn't necessarily beat yourself up over it, Cainite. There's a certain amount of energetic give-and-take that's ALWAYS going on in pretty much any human interaction. (Or any Earthly interaction at all, for that matter.) Every entity on this planet "feeds" off other entities, in one way or another. It's absolutely unavoidable, and just part of the karmic burden of living here.
After all, even the most devout Jain can do nothing to prevent the nonstop microscopic warfare happening within their own bodies. Nor can the human body survive solely off byproducts like milk and honey, without directly consuming SOME form of life. It's literally impossible to live without also being a cause of death, at least on this dimensional plane.
If someone is aware this is going on, they're already ahead of most people, philosophically speaking. It means their eyes are open to the reality, and they can start consciously\deliberately choosing to change their actions to better fit their spiritual attitude. They can start self-examining, and looking at the energetic exchanges in their life, and trying to shift them to create a more positive (or negative) result.
So please, don't try to delete your posts. (And I think that's another impossibility anyway. ) Use them to reflect on your actions and consider how you might create better outcomes in the future. That's how growth and learning happen!
