Shielding is a necessity for Vampires due to their inherent Empathic Nature. The only way to control the inflow of emotional bombardments from those around us and to protect ourselves from attacks and uninvited probing is to shield ourselves from it.

Shielding, however, requires the use of energy, and for a being that runs on an energy deficit and requires outside sources to maintain his/her energy levels, here lies the dilemma.

This is why an uninvited probing, which is probably just natural curiosity, is many times taken as an offensive behavior to most Vampires. Because the probing consumes energy required to maintain a shield.

So, what is the solution to such a dilemma? Well the answer to that lies in the problem with using a shield as an opposing force, which is how most people learn to shield. This form of shielding requires additional energy when the shield is being attacked or unintentionally challenged.

Several years ago, I learned a shielding technique that eliminates this problem. By converting my shield from an opposing force to more of a sponge, which converts and absorbs the energy rather than repelling it, my shield becomes stronger and self-sustaining from an attack or intrusion. This leaves me free to either ignore the unintentional probing or to deal with the attack, rather than concentrating on maintaining my shield. It also negates even the strongest of attacks and allows me to benefit from the energy used by an attacker.

My friend, Leo, who is Magi, has been trying to figure out a way around this shielding for quite a while, but has thus far been unable to do so.

A while back, I was having dinner with some friends, as well as some new acquaintances. Throughout most of dinner, one of the new acquaintances was probing me. It was just out of curiosity. I simply ignored the action and continued with my conversation.

After dinner, I spoke with the young lady and informed her that I was aware of the probing and asked her what she got from it. She informed me that her experience was really strange. She said it was complete and utter silence, which she had never experienced before. Then, I explained to her why.

You see, by using my shield for absorbing the energy, she got no energy back from her probing. This gives no feedback and creates a silent void, as where if I had merely blocked the energy, she would have received the reflected energy back, which would have at least let her know about the shield itself.

I on the other hand, didn’t mind the probing, because the energy being absorbed by my shield was actually beneficial to me.

This form of shielding is something I teach to Vampires willing to learn and who have an appropriate level of ethics related to the use of their abilities.

If anyone is interested, please let me know, and once I get to know you, perhaps I could teach you this technique.

Please let me know what you think about this topic and any experiences you may have had related to shielding.

Bismark your shield only works if folks are frisking the "force" to study you

. Which just about everybody does.

If one goes to the "library of all things experienced" or to the "intuitive mind" (which can be the same thing)

your shield will not work. Bismark, your shield is based on real time and is awesome relative to real time

.

And basically Bismark, what you are talking about here is a passive psychic reality. Aggressive hunts/seeks and passive listens. The psychic world is simalar to submarine warfar. One is listening for sound or one is actively "pinging" to see what is out there

. The girl in your story was "pinging" and you caught her at it.

Bismark, I love your topic and I don't have time just yet to read everybody elses input. Cool topic Bismark!

love,
