Yeah, I mean okay.
So all witchcraft requires directing of energy.

How else would spiritual purpose be pinpointed to something specific..?
The Spiritual Square isn't like witchcraft, because it's not focused on a future goal, as I said. It's more like power meditation. The spiritual square, as its uses are explained, is generic and not specific. Read its description again. You only direct it specifically when you focus on the chakra.

It only says that the material square needs an affirmation.
It doesn't say ANYTHING about whether the spiritual square needs one or not. Yours is an assumption, and a wrong one as explained by me, HP Hooded Cobra and other experienced members. Everything needs an affirmation if you're raising energy. Lady Maxine specifically stated that. Otherwise, around 90% of the energy dissipates and what's the point of that? And, yes, that includes meditation and physical yoga. It includes breathwork and all other parts of yoga too. Anything that raises energy.
Unprogrammed energy is wasted energy.
If HP Maxine wanted to include the spiritual square, he would state "after the square working use an affirmation" in the description. She wouldn't single out the material one as needing an affirmation.
As I said above, the Spiritual Square is more like power meditation and not raising energy towards a goal. When you empower a chakra for example, you don't need an affirmation. Most power meditations don't need an affirmation. I have no idea what HP Maxine said, but I really haven't heard her say anything like that. Maybe she was referring to a specific context. "Anything that raises energy" could mean anything you need to direct for a specific purpose. I remember her using the word "dissipated" to mean "not directed", "not focused" or "scattered". But certainly it's not true at all that energy without an affirmation gets wasted.
Every type of energy you invoke stays on your soul, and especially if you invoke it repeatedly,
it builds up. That's why you clean your aura after black magick in order not anything bad to happen, and you are told not to invoke negative energy. Using your logic, if you invoked negative energy without an affirmation, if would be safe. It's really stupid to think like that.
I've been doing spiritual squares for 10 years since they first came out without an affirmation. They work pretty fine in my experience.
