I am forwarding a buletin you may be interested in.
The Advanced Vampirism & Energy Work Research Survey is very comprehensive with over 300 questions, so plan to set asside some time to do it.
The questions are well intended and thought-provoking, I think it is a great exercise in self-assessment if nothing else.
If you have questions on why they are asking certain things you may approach them, or may want to discuss it on our forum under general discussion.
Aislin has already sent hers in. I am working on mine. Let us know if you are going to send them your survey.
This letter serves as an open invitation to those wishing to submit questions for the follow-up survey to the original VEWRS; to be known as the Advanced Vampirism & Energy Work Research Survey. We value the involvement of the entire vampire community in the creation of this survey prior to finalization of the editing process and subsequent review for an August 1, 2006 release. We welcome all questions both quantitative and qualitative; as the final study will utilize a quasi-experimental design with emphasis on case studies and scientific approach. The primary format is similar to that of the "Vampire & Energy Work Research Survey" but builds on the topics discussed in the first survey while bringing to light a new level of advanced discussion. Keep in mind that submitted questions will later be modified to fit specific models of survey and community participatory research. Due to ethical considerations, questions that require an answer that yields personally identifiable data will be prohibited. At present we have formed numerous questions divided into six focus topics. In particular we are seeking thought provoking questions that pertain to the following:
- 01 - Personal Lifestyle & Societal Involvement
- 02 - Advanced Energy Perception, Tools, & Techniques
- 03 - Unraveling The Complexity Of Definitions: Sanguine & Other Forms Of Vampirism
- 04 - Phenomenological Approach To The Spirituality & Philosophical Ideals Of Vampires
- 05 - Vampiric Folk Beliefs & Mythos In Relation To Modern Personal Vampirism
- 06 - Subcultural Interconnectivity With The Vampire Community
Questions may be submitted to either of the following locations.
