Constructive destruction

The development of any system proceeds in a zigzag manner, and the accumulation of elements from time to time requires significant restructuring, which is impossible without breaking a number of connections in the system, which, in fact, means more or less of its destruction, freeing up space for further creation

At the same time, it is very important to distinguish such “constructive destruction” from destruction in its pure form. The line between them is very thin and sometimes difficult to discern, but nevertheless it is fundamental. Without awareness of this line, destruction easily crosses the threshold and turns into klippothic death for the sake of death

Where can we find this line? It is usually believed that it is all about the purpose - why destruction occurs - for further creativity, or for destruction itself. In other words, “constructive” destruction is always natural, it is a natural continuation of the process, moreover, it is the refusal to destroy that leads to degeneration and decay of the system

The path of the magician is the path of such leaps. And every battle of the magician is not only creation, but also destruction. Therefore, it is very important for a magician to find the strength to destroy the picture that has become familiar - in order to be able to reach a new level of development. Without this, he risks suffocating in a cramped, overcrowded system that has lost its harmony and freedom
