Here's an interesting piece on siphoning from Bronte Baxter's "Splinter in the Mind" blog stretching the idea energy siphoning into consciousness assimiliation:
Enlightenment: From Siphoning to Assimilation

Yet there is another, more insidious reason why the ancient religions, which taught fear of God, have morphed into modern religions and spiritual practices that teach surrender or love of God. The reason concerns free will. If that deeply human element can be won over, if the heart and ability to choose can be wholly offered to “the divine,” those on the receiving end no longer have to siphon humans for their energy, they can simply assimilate us. We become one with their system, with their collective consciousness. Our personal energy signature – the soul or ego, individual self– that which makes us creative, original, reasoned, deliberate beings of action – that is taken from us. Or more precisely, we give it away.
We give ourselves to “the divine,” and in so doing, align our personal frequency with those who have fed on humans since the dawn of history. We become entrained with them, like a tuning fork that hums the pitch of the humming forks around it or a soldier that marches in step with his army. As in the military, the surrender of personal choice results in a strengthening of the collective. Soldiers fall out of step when they cross a bridge, because the power of marching in unison is great enough that it could break the structure. Assimilation strengthens the collective that is the gods.
Cosmic consciousness is not what we are told: a state where the individual mind merges with its own interior pure consciousness. Cosmic consciousness (“enlightenment” or “Brahman”) is a fusing of one’s personal self with the force that has hijacked the universe.

It seems the idea of whether or not we should surrender our egos to God, or universal Oneness, is the dividing line between spiritual paths. Do we take our individual sovereign consciousness and become actual co-creators, or do we merge into the void. Personally, the void holds no attraction for me, especially since it's not a void at all, it's another conscious mind...a very large one, and it's not mine. Therefore I do not want to assimilate with it, and I'm tired of being deluded and siphoned by it.
Just the act of thinking like this is liberating. It takes the siphoning concept all the way to the top...because it is above, as it is below.
There is an
outside to all of this.
