There are five main identity categories. Everyone will fall into one of these categories. These five categories are:

• THE WINNER
• THE SURVIVOR
• THE VICTIM
• THE LOSER
• THE OBSERVER

THE WINNER

This is the category that we all would like to be in. This is the person who is always in the right place at the right time and it appears that life goes right for him. He enjoys a huge measure of success.

Main Characteristic of the Winner:

• Looks to the future.
• Does not dwell on the past.
• Is able to view from either a macrocosmic or a microcosmic perspective.
• Is capable of and willing to delegate authority.
• Enjoys life.
• Appreciates others.
• Takes responsibility for his actions.
• Is very secure.
• Money is not a problem. If it is lost, it is easily recovered.

Most successful people are in the winner category

THE SURVIVOR

This is one who has the potential to be a winner or to be a victim. It all depends on whether or not he becomes the effect of his own actions. He can be in the right place at the right time or he can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It just depends on whether he is headed in the winner direction or the victim direction based on how much responsibility he is willing to take for his actions.

Main Characteristics of the Survivor

• Has a future but operates mainly in present time.
• Usually does not dwell on the past.
• Unconsciously creates problems that he solves just in the nick of time.
• Views life more from a microcosmic perspective.
• Is reluctant to delegate authority.
• Desires appreciation and approval from others.
• Takes responsibility for his actions most of the time.
• Does not feel secure much of the time
• Money is important and is usually the main goal of the Survivor.

This is a person who strives to be successful and succeeds once in a while.

THE VICTIM

This is one who has the potential to be a survivor or a loser. Life is a series of unsolveable problems. The way the victim survives is his tendency to make others wrong so he can be right. He has problems the same as the survivor but whether he becomes a survivor or loser depends on how he handles his problems and how willing he is to take responsibility for his actions. Main Characteristics of the Victim:

• Operates mainly in the past.
• Has no future.
• Views life only from a microcosmic perspective.
• Does not take responsibility for his actions.
• Assigns cause to outside forces.
• Always has problems that he is the effect of.
• Makes others wrong so he can be right.
• Generally feels wrong but won't admit this to himself or others.
• Does not feel secure.
• Money is important but it is expected to be given rather than earned. The victim is one who likes to sue others.

This person is never successful.



THE LOSER

This is one who is at the bottom. He has become the effect of it all. He always has unsolveable problems. He wants others to pity or feel sorry for him and seeks sympathy. Characteristics of the Loser:

• Has no future and no present.
• Always operates in the past.
• Views life only from a microcosmic perspective.
• Considers others to be the cause of his problems.
• Cannot take responsibility for his actions.
• Feels others should be responsible for his existence.
• Assigns cause to outside forces.
• Is very insecure.
• Expects others to help him.
• Wants pity or sympathy from others.
• Money is important but has no reality. It is never earned but is expected to be given freely by others who are charitable to those who are less fortunate.

This person is definitely never successful.

THE OBSERVER

This is a person who generally is not playing "the game" but rather observes what others are doing. The Observer is a mixture of survivor and victim.Characteristics of the Observer:

• Operates mainly in present time.
• Can have a future.
• Usually is either a survivor or a victim.
• Views life from both a microcosmic and macrocosmic perspective.
• Can take responsibility for his actions.
• Not very active in life but mainly observes the actions of others.
• Is usually dependent on others for his survival.
• Normally is not affected by problems because he considers them as creations by others.
• Money is important but is not a goal. It is not gained by lawsuits or charity. It usually is provided by others since the observer usually is a dependent type.

The Observer is not successful unless he makes an effort in that direction. Usually he doesn't do much of anything so he is not a winner, survivor, victim or a loser.

Now on to the Psychic or Energy Parasite.

THE PSYCHIC OR ENERGY PARASITE

• Have you ever found yourself engaged in an activity that felt even slightly wrong but you wouldn't or couldn't listen to yourself telling you not to do it?


• Have you ever found yourself involved with someone whom you may or may not have liked but still felt a compulsion to be around that person even though he or she might have treated you like a second-class citizen?


• Have you ever found yourself giving someone money or time that really should have been used for other things but you felt it was important, for whatever reason, to give the time or money to him or her?


• Have you ever found yourself feeling that the needs of a certain person were more important than yours or those of your family?

If you answered yes to any of the above, whether it was in the past or now, you might have been or may be now involved with a psychic parasite.

What is a Psychic or Energy Parasite?

He is a person who is friendly and interesting to be around. He will act like he is your friend. However. he is a person who would normally be identified as a con-person. You will notice that he produces nothing, but, rather, has others who produce for him. His modus operandi is to take from others (hosts) that which he wants whether it is emotional such as love or practical such as money. An outsider might wonder what the host sees in the psychic parasite because the outsider is capable of seeing what the psychic parasite is doing. Unfortunately, the host does not have this perception and will not listen to the advice of outsiders who try to tell him what is going on.

According to the dictionary definitions, a parasite is one who lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment. A parasite can also be a person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another or others, without giving any useful or proper return; as one who lives on the hospitality of others.

Psychic parasites exist in our everyday existence. It is very easy to fall into the clutches of such a being. These entities are interested in only one thing: sucking the energy out of another. This energy can be emotional or mental energy or it can be physical energy-- the representation of this energy would be such things as love, time or money.

The psychic parasite has a system to entrap its hosts. It creates an illusion around its host. Inside the illusion are the things that the host desires or is interested in. It is these very things that are used as the bait for entrapment. Once the host is surrounded by the illusion he finds it very difficult to extract himself from it because the attraction is like an uncontrollable compulsion. If he looks outside of the illusion, everything appears dull and uninteresting whereas inside the illusion all is exciting, interesting and attractive. Meanwhile the psychic parasite is enjoying the sucked out energy it obtains from its host. The illusion the psychic parasite casts around his host comprises that which the host wants or needs. The illusion attracts the host and surrounds him with irresistible sensations and promises. On the rare occasions when the host is capable of perceiving outside the illusion, all he sees is dullness, dreariness and boredom. All the excitement and action appear to be inside the illusion and thus the host continues to indulge in the false reality he is experiencing. He continues committing violations against his principles, morals and integrity.

The psychic parasite does not consciously cast the illusion. It is something that automatically happens and is part of its survival pattern. The psychic parasite does not have to be an actual living entity as it can also be something inanimate such as a casino.

Examples of a Psychic Parasite

The Casino Psychic Parasite

The casino offers various entertainments such as slot machines and gaming tables and there is lots of color and excitement as well as the hope of making a lot of money. The reality of the situation is, however, that the casino is sucking away its hosts' energy in the form of money. It offers the chance to play slot machines at the rate of a minimum of one cent up to five, ten, even twenty dollars for the privilege of pressing a button once that spins reels and if a winning combination comes up, the host may win back a small percentage of his bet. However, it is common knowledge that any casino takes at least fifteen percent of any monies spent there. The host may bet forty-five cents per spin and may make back a nickel or a dime. In some cases he might make more than his bet but subsequent bets will be lost or their return will not equal the amount spent and if he keeps track of his bets for a month as opposed to his winnings, he will find that the end result is that he has lost fifteen percent of his overall bets. The gaming tables are just as bad.

One can imagine a casino as a kind of giant parasite. Each of the slot machines inside the casino is an energy sucker of the parasite as are the gaming tables. The giant parasite sits there day after day sucking up the monetary energy of all who visit it. If you examine the example of the casino parasite, you'll find the same parasitic pattern being used. The casino casts an illusion based on hope and it makes the inside of its illusion exciting and colorful. Those who go often to a casino are more than likely caught up in the casino illusion and find theirselves unable to control the compulsion to feed the casino parasite. However, once the host realizes what he is supporting, he can free himself if he so chooses. However, the illusion is often so attractive, it is difficult for the host to resist it, especially if there are others around him who are in agreement with the illusion.

The Womanizer Psychic Parasite

Another kind of psychic parasite is the womanizer. He will cast his illusion which is designed to entrap an unsuspecting woman, especially if she feels she is not attractive. The womanizer will wine and dine her and make her feel like she is the most attractive woman in the world but all along, the psychic parasitic womanizer is after something usually sex, money or both. He feeds on her emotional needs.

An Example of the Womanizer Psychic Parasite

H3>One example of a psychic parasite womanizer involves a man in his 50's. He was interested in only one thing--MONEY! He wasn't all that good looking and in fact was a homosexual and hated women. However, he would still go after any woman he thought had money. He was capable of producing a strong sexual attraction as part of the illusion. The woman who got caught up in his illusion not only found herself mysteriously attracted to him but also would think that he was going to help her in some kind of business enterprise. He would tell her that his expertise was free and all she had to do was be an associate of his. His modus operandi would be to get the woman interested in his enterprise and to put her interests on the back burner. Meanwhile, he would use her monetarily getting her to pay for various incidental things such as dinners for his business contacts, making his mortgage payments, etc. He would continue using the woman until she either ended up being broke or she eventually caught onto what he was doing and was able to break out of the illusion he was casting. It didn't matter to him if the woman was married or not, if she was good looking or not. In fact, even though he was a homosexual who hated women, he would marry a likely victim for her money. In all cases, when he found out the woman no longer had any money, he would throw her away and begin his search for another victim.

The Anatomy of the Psychic Parasite

The psychic parasite generally is himself a loser type trying to work his way up to at least survivor. He does not work either for anyone or for himself. His "work" or "career" is being a con man. His main interest in life is to use other people's energy for his own good. The types of persons he will attract are the survivor, victim and observer. Obviously, he has no use for his own kind, the loser, and the winner has no use for him.

How to Protect Yourself From the Psychic or Energy Parasite

One way is to be able to recognize the telltale signs of a psychic or energy parasite. This person will always be found living off another. He will take and take but never contributes even to his own welfare. He always expects others to pay his way. He lies about his circumstances, often painting them to be grander than what they actually are. He cannot be trusted. At first he may appear to be a very successful person but that is only a disguise he is wearing. In actual fact, he is a loser who owns nothing of value and the facts will show you that he is a loser, living in a poverty condition. He preys on the survivor types because they have the most potential to fulfill his needs.

In terms of identity classification, the psychic or energy parasite is a loser type who is attempting to climb out of that classification by preying on others.
