Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 47
Hence, turn away from all the imaginary engagements and set your hearts on thinking thoughts and devising proper tactics to truly connect your hearts as one, so the words “Love your friend as yourself” will literally come true in you, for a verse does not reach beyond the literal, and you will be cleaned by the thought of love that will cover all crimes. Test me in that, and begin to truly connect in love, and then you will see, “the palate will taste.”
I chose this excerpt because I want to discern what “imaginary engagements” my ego puts before me. Also, I heard Kabbalah is practical and this excerpt reflects this by encouraging “proper tactics to truly connect your hearts”. Lastly, this excerpt aims my heart to the one goal.
Oh, I forgot to write an explanation why I chose this excerpt. Simply, for the first line “Man’s sin is that he did not ask the Creator for help.”

RABASH, Article No. 4 (1988), “What Is the Prayer for Help and for Forgiveness in the Work?”Man’s sin is that he did not ask the Creator for help. Had he asked for help, he would certainly get help from the Creator. But if a person says that he asked for help and the Creator did not help him, to this comes the answer that a person should believe that the Creator hears the prayers, as it is written, “For You hear the prayer of every mouth.” If he truly believed, his prayer would be complete, and the Creator hears a complete prayer when a person yearns with all his heart that the Creator will help him.
But if his prayer is not constantly on his lips, it means that he does not have the real faith that the Creator can help him and that the Creator hears everyone who asks Him, and that small and great are equal before Him, meaning that He answers everyone. It follows that the prayer is incomplete.
The purpose of this course of study is to learn about the upper worlds and this world. I hope to attain revelation of the Creator, the good that does good and learning about the Blueprint of Creation helps.
