Someone asked me about his work, which I had skimmed through a while ago. So I'm going on my memory of the material.

There are various significant technical issues with it

His claim that unless one fully experiences an emotion then one opens themselves to physical illness is actually opposite of how the energetic system works. You can 'cut' the roots of such phenomena and fortify yourself with the extra internal energy immediately.

He has you project out negative energy and then breathe it back in which is a ridiculous and innefficient rigmarole.

The feeding on a crowd's 'negative energy' and then storing it below the navel is not part of an alchemical process that builds a higher subtle body.

In encouraging a 'predator' mindset, rather than a detached approach to energetic phenomena accompanied with a reification of the inner I, he is eventually creating a regressive thoughtform.

In truth esoteric 'vampirism' in its highest sense is extremely well hidden, and there isn't a book out there that discusses it. It is how one deals not only with one's emotions, but thoughts, thoughtforms, and other enegetic factors -which while gaining access to one's energy- is actually only preliminary to the 'activation' of the hidden parts of the self.

Thanks for that. Always good to get opinion form another angle.

I haven't noticed these mistakes. Only issue I found with the book on Vampiric self-defense was that if you practice this drawing of negative energy into yourself, you can easily overdo it and get into yourself a more negativity than you can dissolve fast, which then of course affects you.

I've been practicing his techniques for about a decade now and can attest they work.

I think you missed a step. You're supposed to convert the energy within your own body, not just draw it in. It's not about soaking up negativity, it's about... Well, in practice, it looks like finding silver linings in things. You know how people complain about things habitually, just as a way of making conversation? The conversion of negative to positive is what happens on a subtle level when on the obvious level you are engaging with those complaints non-typically (i.e not "yes and"ing them or offering your own complaints, but instead asking questions about the complaint and surrounding circumstances to turn the complaint into an ordinary conversation). Kreiter gives guidelines on the subtle aspects, so I feel like explaining what it actually looks like to an observer would be helpful.

Not at all. The predatory-warrior mind is not regressive, it's not a primitive mind. It's the much more intelligent and powerful primordial mind and it's the mind that can lead one to immortality and enlightenment. The true very regressive mind is the spiritually castrated modern mind which is falsely believed to be "cultured" and "enlightened" and "evolved" which of course if all nonsense. It's exactly the opposite, altought modern normal humans are not able to perceive, understand or relate to this on any level. And thus without the primordial predatory-warrior mind they will never be vampires or attain immortality, but that's ok.

You can get energy from anywhere and anything, no matter the energy. It doesn't matter if it's a vampire victim or negative energy you feel. It's the exercises and the intent behind them that matters. Real vampires don't need to feed as they are immortal, but a lot still do for pleasure or whatever reason they might have, and there can be an endless amount of different reasons. You also don't need to suck in negative energy to attain immortality or do the alchemical work, but it can nevertheless be a helpful technique for whatever reason you might perceive.

Yes and no. What most fail to realize that vampirism and vampires are connected to proper spiritual practices and realizations that go far beyond silly pacts with entities and sucking someones energy with a tendril. Vampirism is about achieving Gnosis and REAL spiritual immortality and completing the Great Alchemical Work, so one needs to not only astral project and vampirize victims but also look into teachings that can guide you to your true self and the true nature of reality. The awakening of your spirit and consciousness are more important than the low level vampire stuff everyone only cares about. Even Draculas attire or the usual vampire colors of Black, White and Red tell you that vampirism is related to Alchemy and it's stages of Nigredo, Albedo, Rubedo. So it's kinda well hidden, but actually it's not as everyone can access all those teachings nowadays and put all the pieces of the puzzle together themselves.

John Kreiter is just another offshoot of the Castenada club, he is one of those who just wants to be another author and fake teacher like castenada and make money with his incomplete teachings that he gobbled up somewhere else in books and on the internet but he doesn't seem very genuine. He just puts his own little gimmicks and spins which he made up, and you can recognize his bullshit easily if you read his books. He tries to convince you that the philosophers stone is a bundle of energy in your stomach and fills most of his books and articles which countless repetitions, inane babblings and endless ramblings with how "words fail", yet he is the master of useless words. He also blocks and censors comments on his site if he doesn't like them or if you mention another author like him from the same current (Mikal Nygth for example).
His early books, his foundational work, is surprisingly solid however and can be useful to provide you with fundamental techniques and mindsets. Mainly "Out of body experiences, quickly and naturally", "Vampires way to psychic self-defense" and maybe even "Overcoming the archon through alchemy". He did a decent job there, but after that the spiritual inspiration left him.

I also realized that it's quite the trend now to publish limited money-grabbing "vampire grimoires" for 99$ or more. Everyone and their grandmothers can do it and more and more are getting published but of course they are all more or less the same trash, and none of them will really help one to become immortal or a real vampire. Because only what's eternal is real, so only what's spiritual is real, and those books don't teach you real spirituality.
