With Hashem's help
To Merit Through the Recitation of Selichot in the Days of Creation to Draw Down Supreme Mercy and Abundance for the New Year and for All Generations and for the Forgiveness of Sins, Including the Sin of the Golden Calf
"Before Reciting the Selichot"
Master of the Universe, Omnipotent One, grant me the merit through the recitation of the Selichot with a broken heart, and with tears of a third, to draw down the abundance for the new year, from the beard of the Ancient Holy One, "For the world is built with kindness."
And through the recitation of the Selichot, may I merit to increase in kindness, for on the 25th of Elul the world was created, and on the second day Hashem said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters."
For through the recitation of the Selichot during the first six days of creation, one merits this separation within Adam Kadmon, which divides between the Name of 45 and the Name of 52,
For through the recitation of the Selichot, one merits to draw from the supreme kindness of the Ancient One hidden within the body of Adam Kadmon, into the body of the Ancient Holy One, which is the hidden light of the seven days, hidden within the seven attributes of the Ancient Holy One, which is the secret of "On this day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up" as the holy Zohar states in Parshat "Noach" 'and then the gates of wisdom will open', and there is the secret of the upper waters within the Ancient Holy One, drawn from the hidden brain of the Ancient Holy One,
For through the recitation of the Selichot, one merits the secret of "All of them You made with wisdom", "And wisdom, from where shall it be found" which is the secret of "And abundant in kindness", the gematria of Mordechai,
For through the recitation of the Selichot, the secret of Joseph's goblet is revealed, the gematria of Mordechai and Esther, Mattityahu and his sons,
For through the recitation of the Selichot, the illumination of Chanukah and Purim is drawn, which is an illumination drawn from the head that is not known, above the days and the attributes, and above all accusations,
For through the recitation of the Selichot with tears of a third, and a broken heart, the abundance is drawn from the head of Adam Kadmon, through the primordial sea, and the final sea, where all the abundance for all generations is, until after the resurrection of the dead,
For through the recitation of the Selichot, it is possible to heal all the sick, and to revive all the dead,
And then "Hashem appeared to him in the plains of Mamre" the secret of the upper waters, which Moses gave to all with the water of the sotah, with the water descending from the mountain, in the secret of the lower waters,
That through the kissing of the calf, they caused the lips to swell, until they died a choking death, and a death of hunger, all those who kissed the calf, and only through the recitation of the Selichot of the days of creation, and Erev Rosh Hashanah, it is possible to sweeten all the judgments from the days of the world, even those of the sin of the Golden Calf.
