Chapter 9 The Vowelizing of G-d's Names and Spoiled Cats

In order to relate properly to G-d in prayer, we are told we have to turn only to Him for our needs. At the same time in each of the 19 blessings of the Standing prayer, there are specific intentions to think about while saying G-d Name. (We don't change the pronunciation of the name ever, but we have in our thoughts different intentions in each of the 19 blessings).
For instance, in the blessing, "You grant knowledge..." * (The fourth of the 19 blessings) we are supposed to have in mind G-d four letter name with the vowelization of the "patach: (-) under each of the four letters. This vowelization is connected with G-d's attribute of Wisdom. Our blessing of  "You grant knowledge..." causes the light of G-d to garment Itself in the attribute of Wisdom in the highest worlds and to come down the chain of descent of worlds until it also comes down to this world and gives someone additional brain power. Nevertheless, we are only addressing the One G-d in each of these blessing, and each one of his attributes are only a tool, like an axe in the hands of the wood chopper.

Sometimes a person is engaged in their work, let's say an author is sitting and writing a book and all of a sudden someone comes and asks him for a glass of water. If he really loves the person asking so he will stop what he's engaged in and turn to fulfill the person's wish. But this requires special merit. Sometimes a cat comes and asks us for food at a moment when we're most busy with something else, so if we really love the cat we will stop what we're doing and feed it, but if not so the cat will have to wait. Sometimes G-d tells us to wait a moment, but a moment in his eyes is a thousand years in ours. There was a man and a woman that were very much in love in their youth. Eventually they got married when he was 85 and she was 83... We want him to turn to our needs much quicker.

To think of each blessing and its corresponding attribute is our acknowledgement  that G-d has to turn to us and interest Himself in our finite needs. He sets aside 19 blessings each one corresponding to a different need, each blessing is more potent when we acknowledge that it is not "automatic" but rather a singular opportunity
