One of the most frequent and most invisible mistakes at the beginning and even in the middle of the journey is the humanization of clipotic forces. It comes not from malice, but from habit. Human consciousness seeks to shape what transcends it. It draws character, ascribes emotions, builds psychological models.
So Klipot begin to “be offended,” “jealous,” “love,” “punish,” “encourage.” So Adramelech turns from the principle of the annoying Flame into a figure with human motivation. This is a dangerous substitution.
Clipotic entities are not individuals in the everyday sense. They do not function within the framework of human psychology. Their archetypes can manifest themselves through images, symbols, even through internal dialogues, but this is the language of consciousness of the adept, and not a literal emotional structure of strength.
When the adept begins to project human qualities, he gradually replaces the transcendental with a reflection of himself. As a result, instead of working with a real principle, he comes into contact with his own mental construction.
Humanization poses several risks.
First, addiction arises. If the entity is perceived as “supportive” or “caring,” the adept begins to seek solace instead of transformation. This is no longer an anti-space practice, but a religious compensation.
Secondly, there is a fear of punishment in the human sense. Any failure is interpreted as the “anger” of the force. This returns consciousness to the dualistic model of sin and punishment - the very one from which the adept tried to get out.
Third, the ego is enhanced. When the entity begins to be perceived as a personal ally, a “patron” in the everyday sense, there is a feeling of a special status. This is how the illusion of chosenness is formed, and then - the imperceptible identification of oneself with the center of the process.
The demons is neither a “personal character” nor an emotional subject in the human sense. This is the principle of poison, madness, destruction of form, the creation of meaning. It can manifest itself through images, voice, symbol or a sense of presence - but these are forms of adaptation to the perception of the adept.
Understanding this does not devalue contact. On the contrary, it makes it cleaner. Instead of emotional drama, work with the vector remains. Instead of waiting for a reaction - accepting the process. Instead of projections - the discipline of consciousness.
The anti-space path requires a coldness of thinking. Where sentimentality begins, accuracy ends. Klipot do not need to be understood “humanly.” They do not seek to be intimate, understandable, or comforting.
Humanization is an attempt to make the Abyss comfortable. But the Abyss is not made for convenience. And the faster the adept stops adjusting it to his own psychological schemes, the deeper his ritual practice becomes.
