Yes, it’s a dangerous cliff, the idea that there is nothing for me to do because the Creator does everything. Then one momentarily becomes religious. I need to do, in all states, with a turn to the Creator. Even in the most hopeless state, to find how to ask. It’s just that with my pride, I don’t want to ask.
Sometimes we don’t count the root, Keter. That’s why there are 4 or 5 degrees.
The inanimate corresponds to Hochma, Vegetative to Bina…
Each name of the Creator is the form of corrected, connected vessel. We are the broken pieces of the vessel, in a completely shattered state. I have to first come to connection with others in a Kabbalistic group, like in our graduate program, and then discover all the forms of connection there. To just say the words, read the letters, benefits a person no more than the silk benefits a camel that carries it.
A prayer comes from a clear understanding of what is broken, and who can fix it. The Creator created only a vessel to fill with the Upper Light. It broke. Nothing else is broken. So only a true prayer for its fixing is heard. Kabbalists turn to the Creator with such requests.
