Because bindings and curses are not parasitic behaviour. Parasitic behaviour is that of broken, damaged souls like the Yehubor and whomever, unlike the Yehubor, has such extremely deep trauma.
Zevism develops self-reliance. You don't need to leech on other people in order to be whole.
Why are you asking? Were you a psychic vampire like that crazy woman, Michelle Belanger, who has a disgusting aura and energy? It does not seem to me like you are now and it did not seem to me that you were the first time we interacted about 4 years ago.
Psychic vampirism is a tool for black magick like any other. This is a pointless taboo. You don't get the vibe because I don't have any form of subconscious aura draining on everyone I interact with. It also doesn't define me, it's just a tool.
This is a discussion I've had on another thread before. I won't get too deep into this again. I do feel like I need to point out though you mentioned you'd need a strong AoP to resist this, but from my experience, when executed properly the practice bypasses auras completely.
If you "open up" to them, your AoP will likely not prevent the subtle exchange of energy. The only reliable defense is severing connections with such people and distancing yourself, physically and socially.
Although I also doubt many people do this properly and most have some sort of subconscious aura leeching as you mentioned which is terribly inefficient anyway. Bottom line is proper draining is not done with or to the aura, and a good one will bypass your AoP.
You can experiment with this yourself. Connect with a loved one, someone who is close to and open to you, and begin to drain them. You will likely feel little or no resistance whatsoever, even if you have programmed an AoP into them. If you consciously and subconsciously perceive a psychic vampire as a "friend", and you've opened up to them, you're fucked. Again I think it's extremely rare to find someone who is doing this consciously and efficiently so it's not really something to worry about much.
That being said I haven't drained anyone with a very powerful AoP for obvious reasons so this info could be somewhat inaccurate.
On the topic of virtue, I mean whatever. I personally am immune to such corrupting ambitions. I have and will continue to make the argument that condemning psychic vampirism, but then being fine with cursing and binding inept and defenseless souls is insane. It's equally cowardly and devoid of any real virtue.
It's just sad that the group chooses to discard a useful tool simply because you all find it distasteful.
