Since we are praying to His essence, and not to His names, we must be extremely careful to have the right intentions during prayer.

To whom exactly are we praying? To Hashem's essence, or to His names?

We discuss the concept that Hashem wanted to interact with His creations, and bestow His goodness upon them.

We discuss the fact that the blessings contain an element of speaking directly to Hashem, but at the same time contain an element of reference to Him in the third person.

We discuss what it means that Hashem, at His unknowable essence, does not interact - due to the all inclusive unified nature of that essence. We also explore the idea that the Jewish people is placed by Hashem on par with Himself as it were, and what that really means.

Each of the names of Hashem corresponds to a different element of His conceptual spiritual 'body,' which we can understand by looking at our own.

Each of the names of Hashem denotes a different interaction with the world.

When we speak of the blessing we give Hashem, we can only speak of Hashem's names, but not His essence.

How is it possible to bless Hashem if Hashem has everything?

We see that there are different levels of focus in prayer, and each has a different affect on one's soul and on the levels of reality.
