The Gate of Unification can be divided into two basic parts - the first, consisting of chapters one through nine, comes as a direct continuation of Kuntres HaHispaalus Tract on Awakening (or Excitement of the emotions), where it explained the necessity for hisbonenus. This first section continues by explaining what hisbonenus-(contemplation) is, how one is to structure this contemplation, and on what to contemplate.

Since the first section concludes that one must contemplate on all of the details of the hishtalshellus (-the chain like process of cause and effect that the infinite divine light continually undergoes in the perpetual act of creation, i.e., the chaining down of the worlds Atzilus , Briyah, Yetzirah, Asiyah (Emanation, Creation, Formation & Action)), the second section proceeds to delineate a synopsis and clear explanation of the whole of the Lurian Kabbalah explained according to the teachings of the Chassidic Masters.
