Which is why I mentioned that Lydia, in the past, mentioned directing the spiritual square's energy away from her sacral chakra because she was being overwhelmed. Of course all energy can be directed but as I have said before, I have used the spiritual squares without affirmations and they have worked and so I still wonder if anyone has used the spiritual square without affirmations and have had them not work.
When I finish a spiritual square, I do not just jump away from the working. I always spend a minute or less on feeling the energy and knowing within my mind that it is doing its job which is generally working on the spiritual level(empowering the chakras, houses and points in astrology, etc.)
If one sees that as some sort of an affirmation, then so be it.
Thats the point I am getting at. As I said before, they can do what feels right for them. Hail Satan

I can relate my opinion to this and then people can figure what works best for their taste and style. It can't but be more of a general reply, while centered on the topic at hand.
I know personally that all Squares, Spiritual or whatnot, do require affirmations. You can also do this without affirmation (The spiritual square) by merely "Willing" the energy. This is however advanced, and its not the most certified method to success. This is why some people don't really want to affirm, but for security reasons and reasons of success, they must. The energy is raised and it doesn't have a mind, it must be guided towards a purpose.
Also, the Spiritual Square can be used in other ways and pretty much anything spiritual. Such as healing, awakening others, doing general magick etc. It can be used spiritually externally (on others, or in the world) or internally (on one's self). For this reason I believe the "Willing" method, or not "affirming" into this is not the one to follow at all. Both squares need to be affirmed, but both squares, same as any other working can be "Willed". I advise against "Willing", or for an accurate say, "Willing" plus "Affirming", plus emotion and anything else which is the ideal, depending on the person.
It really doesn't take anything of one's time to make a nice affirmation and affirm, as thus, program the energy into doing what its supposed to do. If you want to stimulate larger areas of something, just make a more general affirmation. For instance:
1. Let's say you want to empower your chakra:
(While focusing on the Buzz/Energy of the Sun Square): "This Solar energy is empowering my Solar Chakra permanently and continuously, in any and all positive ways." This is very vague, but one can adjust this. I just give the lines this can go.
OR:
(While Focusing on the Buzz/Energy of the Sun Square): Draw the energy in, keep it and "Absorb it". Make sure to meditate on this.
This is however tricky, especially when people don't have time or don't consciously will the energy into the aforesaid direction of choice.
--I least advise this method alone as this can also be done in the conjuction with the affirmation and its really easy. Ideally, it should be. The more senses involved, the better.--
2. Let's say you use the Spiritual Square for healing:
(While focusing on the Buzz/Energy of the Sun Square): "This Solar energy is empowering my Solar Chakra and this heals me completely. My health is permanently perfected, in a positve way for me."
Normally, when you find the correct way for you, you will have results, and except of this you will feel "reassured" that this working did infact work. It takes time to find the way, and get your mind to "open up" and understand this, so one must use what makes them feel more "open".
So to close this message, HPS Shannon is not wrong, you can just "will" the energy, or just direct it through just meditating on it, however, what Lydia says is logical and the general rule of thumb for *All* Workings is to be affirmed. Squares included as well. The connection of both these ways is the most accurate thing. The fatal mistake is to not meditate on the energy, not affirm it, or just "jump" out of the working and just leave it hanging.
One would also want to add emotion which is important, and a small visualization of what the energy is supposed to do, irrespectively of if the aim is spiritual, or physical.
The "numbering" of affirmations does exist for a reason. For instance 9 is permenence and the list goes. This has to do with the universal patterns of creation. Willing it and "letting the female mind grasp the larger picture" is also part of this, which happens by "focusing on the energy", visualization, contemplation etc.
