Q: What request does the Creator answer when He brings one into the spiritual world: a request for Light, or a request to resemble Him?
A: You have to choose within you all the possible requests, and only after that will you understand which request is the one that comes from you, which request is regarded as such by the Creator, and which might evolve to become mutual to the both of you. The understanding of the prayer is the search and analysis of the meaning of the universe.
After all, the universe consists of a single thought, a single aim and a single request. There is nothing more that I can tell you about it, it is the language of the feelings. You have to study that language by yourself.
