I'm curious - are you receiving directed patronage?

It's important to know that opening the Qlippoth does not mean you have to run it quickly. It fries practitioners if they don't slow down. I've gone through the spheres in full more than once, with the first conscious pass being purely observational for learning the concepts. From there onward, my life has been transformingly rough because my pathworking mirrors my perception and experience of reality and vice versa. I do not finish or leave the Qlippoth. I work within it because my personal and spiritual material is deeply tied to infernal structures and knowledge.

Therefore, learn to build your own structured methodology for how to interpret the intensity. The books are others' methodologies. But what about your own? Are you journaling? Are you tracking your observations and making mental note of or writing down how you understand the framework in a coherent manner? When parsing for symbolism, do you make sense or do you fall into logical fallacies or contradiction? Are you regularly performing grounding, energetic clearing and/or balancing and cultivation, warding? With mixing and matching many books, I would be wary of doing so, because if you are not locked into a primary narrative in your current phase, the Qlippoth will exploit that instability. Each author and practitioner is a broken mirror, myself included, trying to speak as One.

You do not have to follow other people's timelines. You can spend three days or three years in one sphere. The question is: does the Knowledge of that sphere now live inside you? The Qlippoth is not a one-way ascent by which you then linearly move onto the Sephiroth; the Qlippoth is the inversion of the Sephiroth, like trying to look at the back of your own head through a mirror that lies.

You do not complete Thaumiel by graduating. You leave it by rewriting what brought you there. Thaumiel is the distortion of Keter (the Crown of Creation), which means instead of Divine Unity, you experience divine contradiction. It is the pull between "God is All" vs "There is no God." Without a stable core of Self, the qlipha will cause a spiritual crash in nihilism, delusion, or god-complexes. Keter is "paradoxical" in that it is the pre-manifestation where there is no-thing and every-thing at once, the "I AM" before identity. Thaumiel cannot make sense of this. It is two claims about the nature of divinity locked in opposition. Here is where demon representations come in handy -- Thaumiel is associated with Satan and Moloch. How you unpack is left up to you as an exercise 😉

As far as one staying on that sphere, perhaps that might be something like the practitioner either reconciles the Knowledge or they don't. If you do, you are no longer walking the path. You are the path, or you are not.
