An important note concerning Blood Essence
                             Tempel of Azagthoth


      We would like to set forth to our members and affiliates an important
   note concerning the term known as Lifeforce. As you can readily see from
   many  of our articles and teachings we have used the terms Lifeforce and
   Blood  Essence  as synonymous in meaning. However, from this point on we
   would ask that within our group that our members refrain from describing
   vampiric  practice  as  the  gathering  of  Lifeforce.  Because  of  the
   inability  for  the  most  part  to  change  our  usage  of this word in
   previously published booklets we have decided to publish this notice for
   the  betterment  of  our  affiliates.  I  have  gleaned  this  important
   information from higher vampire lords.

      The  terms Blood, blood essence, blood current, or blood movement are
   the  terms  which  should be more correctly used by Vampires to describe
   Vampiric  practice.  As  we  have  already  mentioned,  we used the term
   Lifeforce  largely  in  previous  literature but from this point on this
   will  cease  for  good  reason.  The unconscious connection to the gates
   unlocking  the  reptilian  brain  stem  links  to  the word Blood. It is
   anthropomorphic  reaching  deep  into  the  very  core  of the universal
   structure  for  all  creations.  Lifeforce  is  a  new  term  coined  by
   metaphysicians  to denote Psychic currents. The currents that flow, like
   unto  streams,  surrounding  all living things. A psychic is vampiric in
   nature living of these currents to generate higher abilities. There is a
   vast  difference  between  the  two  forms  of energy. A person building
   vampiric  power, training the higher bodies toward improving its psychic
   breath,  may  unconsciously develop a poor habit. The Vampire Nature may
   be  directed  to  drain  the  attracted  Lifeforce  swirling  around the
   intended   target.   It   does   this  type  of  draining,  rather  than
   penetrating  into  the  targets  core essence. The pure blood essence is
   missed.  The effect of drawing in either current may go unnoticed by the
   beginner  -  both  will cause internal movements. The water of life will
   rise, and flood the vampire's nature.

      In short, Pure blood draining creates a perpetual blood current. This
   notice may seem like debate over a point of semantics, but we assure you
   that the effect upon the vampire nature is profound. Feed Well.
