For that sort of thing, meditating on Atu VIII 10 minutes a day for three to six days is much more likely to give you an answer.
Journey into the Path of Lamed in Yetzirah is going to introduce you to landscapes, concepts, experiences concerning those principles in the abstract, and (depending on your needs and circumstances and readiness) possibly beings who are in immediate service to the forces of Karma unfolding in human existence. What happens next... entirely depends and you and the conditions. It is, after all, a relationship.
If you are an Adeptus Minor, then journeying that Path may also start to prepare you for your Next Step - since that would be one of the two Paths right before you.
At an earlier stage - returning, say, to the training level of 1=10 I mentioned earlier - direct experience of the Paths gives you greater understanding of the ways its energies work, which will make you more effective in ceremonial magick involving the Paths. Thus, if you were doing a ritual of the nature of Lamed, then having had several journeys into Lamed in Yetzirah and interacting with the environment and beings will make it easier to make those moment-to-moment decisions that arise in the source of your later ritual.
