Introduction: Attention Is the Currency of Consciousness
Kundalini, attention, and energy vampires. Your total process of the Kundalini awakening journey is based on how much attention you are retaining with yourself, because attention is your currency of consciousness. This currency of consciousness—your attention—is stolen by energy vampires. In this discourse, I introduce which energy vampires steal your powerful attention—starting from your body, your self-existence, and also in your external environment—and how you can save yourself from such energy vampires to live the life that Kundalini wants you to live.
You need to understand that Kundalini needs a lot of fuel in the form of energy to process its journey from the stage of awakening until the completion of its journey. That is not possible without keeping your attention with yourself and preventing its leakage. The moment you start meditating, the moment you start reclaiming your energy to yourself, you will find that a lot of energy vampires come in the form of your own mind. The mind comes up with lots of thoughts, lots of conditioning, lots of random thoughts, obsessive thoughts—thoughts of all kinds. You are flooded with all kinds of thoughts from people, and all the time the thought is running like acid in the background. You feel that you are drained—drained of your valuable energy.
The Inner Energy Vampires: Tendencies, Desires, and Lower Vibrations
Why does this happen? The thoughts are your energy vampires, originating from your tendencies and desires—the vasanas. Because in you the vasanas and desires are nothing but the lower quality of energy existing in you, the real demons, the real negative energies, the real vampires are these tendencies and patterns and desires in the form of lower vibrational energy.
These lower vibrational energies feed on your valuable energy of attention. They keep on stealing your attention to survive. Attention is like the host, and these energy vampires are like parasites or viruses which feed on your energy. Because of the law of energy—energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another—your attention, as high quality energy of consciousness, is stolen by these negative energies residing in you and coming from your past.
These demonic energies—this devil energy—are real. You feel them. You feel them as separate entities in you, and they feed on your energy. The energy of fear, primarily of the root chakra, is the lowest vibrational frequency and is always radiating at a lower energy, a lower dimension. It is connected to the below-gravity, below-the-earth energy.
Higher vs. Lower Dimensions in the System
The higher dimensions of energy—where your attention is—are in the head region, connected to higher dimensions of consciousness in the universal field. This area of your brain, your nervous system, your entire system is connected to higher dimensions, and this region is away from gravity. Your lower chakras—your root chakra, your sacral chakra, your solar plexus—are equipped with these lower energies of fear, insecurity, extreme grief, loneliness, sadness, apathy, jealousy, envy, anger, frustration, depression, tendencies, blame, shame, regrets, agony. You feel soulless when you are stolen by these energy vampires; you feel that a part of you is gone away from you. You do not feel soul anymore; you do not feel life. They take you away from your life energy.
The very existence of these energies creates a lot of apana in your energy field. It fills your energy field with a dark, denser, smoky layer that is very difficult to overcome. It surrounds you like a thick layer of cloud, and you do not get the sunshine. It keeps you fatigued. It keeps you in depressive tendencies all the time. Brain fog happens. Your mind is clouded with thoughts. These lower energies have the tendency to push you toward suicidal tendencies. Those of you who are going through the dark night of the soul and experience such tendencies—understand that these are due to the demonic energies, the energy vampires in you, which keep on stealing your energy all the time. Because they are in lack, they are incomplete, and they are not independent to live on their own for survival, they feed on your energy.
Negative energies have the power to steal and take away the positive and higher energies. If Kundalini awakening is going on in you, your Kundalini is purifying you from these energy vampires and taking you to the level of soul. She takes you to the level of higher energies. She introduces the divine energy of love, compassion, heightened awareness, appreciation, courage, strength, peace, joy, happiness, gratitude. When you are radiating high with these energies, your attention increases.
The Economics of Attention
When you focus all your attention on yourself—on your life, on your breath—your attention span increases and your quality of attention increases. It is like dollars or euros: the quality of attention you get when Kundalini is working and you are working with Kundalini, and you keep your attention with yourself—it is like dollars. The value of the attention you have is of dollar quality. The value of the energy of these energy vampires is of a third-world currency where $1 is equivalent to 10,000, or maybe more. You are paying $1, and they take away all the dollars from you; in exchange they give you lower quality currency. This exchange is not a good deal—not a profitable deal. So why will you trade such deals with these lower energies?
Stick to your sadhanas, your spiritual practices, where you intentionally decide not to pay attention to your thoughts and your lower energies. If they exist in you, work on clearing them.
Clearing Energy Vampires: Physical, Mental, and Energetic Levels
Physical level. Clear and get rid of energy vampires by clearing your bowel every day. Make sure your digestive system is good. Ensure you are able to sleep every night in good quality, and all these energies are freed from your system in the morning in the first two hours. Make sure you are not constipated. With constipation, these energies feed more on the physical level; it creates toxic gases like carbon monoxide.
Mental level. The very existence of these energies creates a smoky layer of thoughts: demonic thoughts, too many dreams, too many visions, too much negative, criminal-type energies. You feel a separate, tight entity—of criminal nature—existing in you, and you feel it as part of you.
Energetic level. On the energy level, these energies appear as vampires—the maya, the illusionary energy—which will always show you the other side of life and create more desires, more lust, more greed, more anger, more fear in you all the time. You experience different kinds of fear and emotional energies popping up. Your energetic field becomes clouded with too much emotion. You go through emotional turbulence. You go through the trauma of lifetimes in one life. All your childhood memories—deep down in your subconscious—pop up and appear like ghosts; they appear as if you have committed some crime. They come with the energy of regret—that you have wasted your life—and there will be no one with you if your attention is not with you in your consciousness, if you do not know the difference between higher and lower energies, and if you do not experience your soul at this level. You will feel all these energies and energy vampires are you.
Strengthening the Aura and the Three Steps of Kundalini’s Purification
If you want to come out of the drama created by these energy vampires, if you want to save yourself from the energy loss—the leakage of your powerful attention by these energy vampires—then you have to make your aura strong. You have to purify your body. You have to cleanse your body. You have to transform yourself by being with Kundalini.
Kundalini purifies your energy channels and your chakras of all the impurities you have carried forward from different lives into this birth, and she kills these energy vampires one by one. But the process of Kundalini is extremely dynamic and yet slow. Sometimes you will feel that Kundalini is too active in you and makes you do certain actions in a dynamic way; at other times she is so, so, so slow that for days, weeks, and months nothing is happening—then again volatile, again dynamic.
It is like two different kinds of electricity flowing: one flowing at a very slow speed, the other very active. At one time Kundalini acts at lightning speed; at other times it flows or remains still like ocean water. At times it moves in only one direction, like a river flowing from the glacier toward the ocean; at times it is just still water in a lake. If you do not have the intelligence to process Kundalini, your brain will go into trauma witnessing and experiencing this volatility. Your sympathetic breathing will be activated and remain activated throughout your journey. If your Kundalini awakening journey is happening for a decade, you may realize that for a decade you have never slept well. All the time you were in sympathetic mode. You never experienced the parasympathetic breathing mode—the vagus-nerve mode—where the body gets into rest-and-digest. That is why attention is important.
Where attention goes, energy flows, and it grows. If you pay attention to these energy vampires, your attention goes along with them and they grow in power. On the other hand, if you want to grow in power, keep your attention with yourself. Do not pay attention to these energy vampires, and you will see the shift that you are here and now.
Practice: Becoming One With the Breath
How to keep your attention with yourself. Be with the breath. Move with the breath. For some time, become one with the breath—breath coming in and going out—and you are with the breath. No need to hurry.
Detailed instructions you can follow:
- Sit comfortably with your spine naturally upright. Place one hand on the lower belly to feel the movement.
- Gently close your eyes to minimize external leakage of attention.
- Inhale slowly through the nose. Let the belly inflate first. Allow the diaphragm to move down as the belly expands.
- Exhale gently through the nose or lips. Let the belly deflate completely. Allow the diaphragm to move up as the breath leaves.
- Stay with the breath—do not run ahead of it. Track its texture from nostrils to throat to chest to belly on the inhale, and from belly to chest to throat to nostrils on the exhale.
- Take at least ten breaths. Then extend to twenty-one breaths to be here and now. Keep the eyes closed.
- If the mind is restless, continue for 5–10 breaths more, then 20 breaths, or 5–10 minutes—till the mind becomes calmer, thoughts subside, no-mind arises.
Breathing in… and breathing out. Do this at least ten times, twenty-one times, to keep your attention with yourself.
Beware of the Spiritual Ego
These energy vampires create a separate kind of ego in you—the spiritual ego. They show you that you are a spiritual person and a different kind of person who has all the problems in life. Either a super-ego is created, or you play the victim. Either you feel high because you are going through spiritual awakening, Kundalini awakening, or you feel you are having nothing in life and are going through the worst conditions. Both are extreme levels of ego created in you. Be free from such illusions.
Kundalini awakening is not an easy process. It is extremely challenging. Every moment there is the role of Kundalini—the energy, the higher levels of consciousness. You will have many energy downloads vibrating through your entire system. At the same time, thoughts will come up showing you that you are having diseases, that you are not healthy, that you are not fit, that you are getting mad, that you are having problems with your life. These are energy vampires appearing as memories—memories of all kinds, sometimes of past lives. Sometimes you see yourself getting murdered or dying in an accident, and you can see and feel that event happening to you. Such dreadful events you experience, and your brain is out of its control. The brain cannot understand all this because it is happening for the first time in the evolution of the brain.
Kundalini awakening in the last birth—awakening to free you from all cages and bondage—is extremely high voltage electricity, the cosmic electricity flowing in you. That is extremely important for your freedom. Until and unless Kundalini awakens in you, you cannot be free. You cannot be intellectually enlightened. If Kundalini awakening has not happened to you, even if you collect all the information in the scriptures and everywhere, you cannot be liberated and go beyond.
Energy Vampires in the Environment
Once you understand how the energy vampires work in you and how to get rid of them, the next part is the energy vampires in the environment. As they exist in you, energy vampires exist in every human being—every person in this world. They exist in your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, your relatives; every human being you know is also faced with energy vampires and the same problem.
This time it is team A (you) and team B (others). They feed on your energy when you are growing high in consciousness due to Kundalini awakening. When you keep your attention with yourself, you radiate higher.
For men: you need to retain your semen to keep your attention and to grow in your attentive power. Only by retaining semen can you grow in your attention power, because it is directly connected to ojas; it is directly connected to the nerve charges in your nervous system. When you retain semen, the nutritional content in your semen is reabsorbed by the body and strengthens the nerve centers in the brain. When the brain is at a heightened state, it can process information from higher dimensions better, and you will be able to retain your attention power with yourself, because all the energies are being stored and re-processed by the body.
Retaining semen is like ploughing back profits. In business, when you earn profit and reinvest in the business, it is called ploughing back profit. Semen is produced as the last element in the body—after creating bones, blood, muscles, and everything—semen is created last. When you retain that valuable semen—your life force—the charge in the semen (even if the physical fluid leaves during nightfall or a sudden release you need not worry about) goes back to your nerve centers and rejuvenates the brain cells. It strengthens you to fight these energy vampires. When the brain is nourished, it has the potential to fight the demons. Your immunity increases. The inflammatory condition in the body is primarily because you are not retaining semen. Once you retain semen, inflammation reduces and immunity increases. Pain signals are stopped because you are working in the direction of Kundalini, the life force. The divine forces signal you to move in this direction.
When this happens, your electromagnetic field—your aura—gets toned and your audience (radiance) increases. You radiate higher. This radiation spreads in the environment and affects people around you. Energy vampires come in the form of your spouse, parents, or anyone to steal your energy or disturb your sadhana.
Nobody in the matrix can do sadhana now by remaining fully in the matrix, because people in the matrix will not allow you to do the spiritual practices required. That is why, from time immemorial, gurus and masters advised doing sadhana in a secluded place, in solitude, where nobody comes for days and months to disturb you.
Designing a Life That Protects Attention
In today’s world, this is possible because you can travel to places and choose to do your sadhana the way you want. You can do freelancing work where you do not need to go to the office. But to be free from energy vampires, you cannot change your life in one day; you must design it. Take practical decisions and actions:
- Stop giving attention to these people.
- Stop paying attention to anyone and everyone.
- Stop your addictions.
- Uninstall all the apps running in the background on your phone—and in your life.
Practically, your spouse, your children, everyone can operate like an app, taking away your data in the form of your powerful currency of attention. If you want to process Kundalini in the best way, keep energy vampires—in any form—away from your life. Then the fuel produced during Kundalini’s combustion will be used for processing Kundalini.
If you do not do it, one day Kundalini will do it—but it will be a drastic step. She will uproot you from the matrix, and that will be filled with suffering because you were not prepared. For example, if a divorce is going to happen and you keep postponing it because you feel you can control the process, a day will come when it happens suddenly. That day you will not be prepared to process Kundalini and the kind of horrifying experiences she creates in the form of high-voltage electricity running in your system. You will get many kriyas. Vibrational frequencies like lightning pass through your body. The total cosmic electricity starts working to free you, taking you away from the matrix. If you are unprepared, you suffer a lot—especially brain and nervous system health. Only at that stage can a guru help you.
The Role of Destiny and the Guru
I do not know about your destiny, because everyone comes with a destiny to find the guru at the right time. When you are privileged enough and have done your sadhana in past lives, your guru will come to your rescue at such moments. But if there is no guru who can lead and rescue you from that state, then only you can help yourself by taking concrete, practical steps to free yourself from energy vampires.
Otherwise, you will be illusioned into an energetic field where your brain and nervous system stop working. The inside demons and energy vampires—and the outside energy vampires—all will work together to make sure that you go mad, take your own life, commit suicide, or go into the highest depression. These conditions happen to everyone, and no one has been able to remove them from the total experience of the Kundalini awakening journey and the path to freedom. Why is it like this? Because it is like this. It is universal design. It has to happen this way. It can never happen in any other way than what I have shared in this discourse.
Final Admonition: Guard the Currency of Attention
So protect yourself. Protect your energy. Protect your attention. It is the valuable currency of consciousness. Keep it with yourself. Increase its value by totally dedicated sadhanas and spiritual practices, keeping away all the energy vampires and throwing them out from your system and from your life. Have a great day. Thank you.
