I can share my revelations on this topic.
I’ve found on my studies with the Neteru, that there are 2 paths
First one is the path of ascent which is the vampire path, this is the path of unconventional pain and suffering, a longer path thats guided by the ego
The second path is the path of descent which is the path of Christ, this is unifying with the Godhead, the higher self.
While vampires use blood and living creatures to tap into the light, the christic beings descend as the one creator.
The christic path is much more powerful and easier because you let go of your ego and allow God to take over (not Yahweh)
The path of descent is more about inner alchemy, the chrism oil and mental magick. Ive tapped into this and honestly I have no use for altars or tools anymore, all of my magick is my consciousness now which is ideal
The vampiric path is needy, it needs things and without those things it’s no where near powerful but you can unlock the same abilities on both paths the issue is, you rack up a lot of karma on the dark path, it’s more painful, more dangerous etc.
Overall, the christic path is simple and easier, so I personally recommend that one above all else, it’s the secret of secrets, secret referring to sacred secretion in the brain, which self actualizes God consciousness
