872) The daughter, Malchut<\/em>, is the Tefillin<\/em> of the weaker hand. Yod<\/em> is its knot; the first Hey<\/em>, Ima<\/em>, is the head Tefillin<\/em> on the head of Tifferet<\/em>. His Tefillin<\/em>, his Mochin<\/em>, in the order Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em> Vav<\/em>–Hey<\/em>. The portion, \u201cSanctify onto Me,\u201d is Yod<\/em>. \u201cAnd it shall come to pass that when [the Lord] brings you\u201d is Hey<\/em>. Shema<\/em> is Vav<\/em>. \u201cAnd it shall come to pass if you shall listen\u201d is the bottom Hey<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This order is for the head Tefillin<\/em> of ZA<\/em>. But in the next world, Bina<\/em>, the Tefillin<\/em>, which are the Mochin<\/em> she receives, the order is HaVaYot<\/em> Hey<\/em>, Hey<\/em>, in the middle. Yod<\/em> is in the beginning of \u201cSanctify,\u201d Vav<\/em> at the end of Shema<\/em>, and HaVaYot<\/em> are the portions, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass that when [the Lord] brings you,\u201d and \u201cIt shall come to pass if you shall listen\u201d are Hey<\/em>, Hey<\/em>, in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prophet said about it, \u201cBy this the one who boasts shall boast: learn and know Me, for I am the Lord.\u201d This is as the order of Yod<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Hey<\/em>–Vav<\/em>. And this is why there is a place in the head to place two pairs of Tefillin<\/em>. This also rewards with two commandments, and not every person is rewarded with two tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

873) The four portions of the head Tefillin<\/em> are Yod<\/em>, \u201cSanctify,\u201d Hochma<\/em>; Hey<\/em>, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass that when [the Lord] brings you,\u201d Bina<\/em>; Vav<\/em> is Shema<\/em>, the middle pillar, and Hey<\/em> is \u201cAnd it shall come to pass if you shall listen,\u201d the holy Malchut<\/em>. The head, which is crowned by these four letters, is Keter<\/em>, the circumference of the head, which surrounds the Tefillin<\/em>, which are the Mochin<\/em>, and covers them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shema<\/em> reading is love, Hesed<\/em>, tantamount to the Torah, which was given from the right. The Tefillin<\/em> are called \u201cmight,\u201d from the left, Gevura<\/em>. The middle pillar is Tifferet<\/em>, which includes everything, including HG<\/em>. The wings of commandment are the Tzitzit<\/em>, in which there are azure and white, and they are NH<\/em>. A Mezuzah<\/em>, in which the name Shadai<\/em> is inscribed, is a righteous, Yesod<\/em>, and the Shechina<\/em>, the gate in which there is the Mezuzah<\/em> on which it is inscribed, is the gate to the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

874) The triple head Shin<\/em> [regular Shin<\/em>, \"Shin\" ] is three straps\u2014two straps in the head Tefillin<\/em>, and one in the hand Tefillin<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dalet<\/em> is the knot of the head Tefillin<\/em> in the back of his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yod<\/em> is the knot of the hand Tefillin<\/em>, which are the letters Shadai<\/em> [Shin<\/em>–Dalet<\/em>–Yod<\/em>]. Because of it, Shadai<\/em> is written outside, on the Tefillin<\/em>, and HaVaYaH<\/em> is within the Tefillin<\/em>, it is the four portions in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shin<\/em> of four heads [\"Shin4Legs\"] implies the four boxes of the Tefillin<\/em>. Shadai<\/em> is a letter of ZA<\/em>, and in Gematria<\/em> it adds up to Matat (314).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

875) Yod<\/em> is Hochma<\/em>, \u201cSanctify unto Me.\u201d Hey<\/em> is Bina<\/em>, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass that when [the Lord] brings you.\u201d Vav<\/em> is Shema<\/em>, in which there are the six words [in Hebrew], \u201cHear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one,\u201d which implies six Sefirot<\/em>, six branches of the tree, which Tifferet<\/em> includes. The bottom Hey<\/em> is \u201cAnd it shall come to pass if you shall listen,\u201d Malchut<\/em>. These are the Mochin<\/em> of the head. The head is Keter<\/em>, Chaf<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThere is none as holy as the Lord,\u201d where the Chaf<\/em> of \u201cas\u201d [written as Chaf<\/em>] the Lord is Keter<\/em> de<\/em> ZA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

876) Shadai<\/em> implies straps and boxes, and the knots of Tefillin<\/em> from without. It is so because the Shin<\/em> of Shadai<\/em> implies three straps, two of the head and one of the hand. The Dalet<\/em> in Shadai<\/em> implies four boxes of the head Tefillin<\/em>, and the connection of Dalet<\/em> in the back of the head. Yod<\/em> in Shadai<\/em> implies the knot of the hand Tefillin<\/em>. Likewise, the Mezuzah<\/em> is HaVaYaH<\/em> from within and the name Shadai<\/em> from without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shin<\/em> of four heads with the Dalet<\/em> of Shadai<\/em> imply the four boxes and the knot of the head Tefillin<\/em> in the back [of his head], which is in the shape of a double Dalet<\/em>. Likewise, there is a double Shin<\/em>, one on the right side of the box, and one on the left side of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yod<\/em> in Shadai<\/em> is the knot of the weaker hand Tefillin<\/em>, a fifth box. There are four boxes in the head Tefillin<\/em>, and a fifth box in the hand Tefillin<\/em>. Dalet<\/em> in the Shadai<\/em> is the brain, in the place where an infant\u2019s brain is loose, moving. This is an infant suckling from its mother\u2019s breasts, meaning from Shadai<\/em> [breasts and Shadai<\/em> are spelt the same in Hebrew], since Dalet<\/em> implies Mochin de<\/em> GAR<\/em> de<\/em> Yenika<\/em> [nursing].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

877) The Tefillin<\/em> of the Master of the world is Keter<\/em>. The Keter<\/em> of the Master of the world is HaVaYaH<\/em>. Yod<\/em> de<\/em> HaVaYaH<\/em> is Hochma<\/em>, Hey<\/em> is Bina<\/em>, Vav<\/em> is Tifferet<\/em>, which includes six Sefirot HGT<\/em> NHY<\/em>, and the bottom Hey<\/em> is Malchut<\/em>, meaning ten Sefirot<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd who is like Your people, as Israel?\u201d And also, \u201cFor what great nation is there that has a God so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him?\u201d and also, \u201cThere is none as holy as the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These four verses are all written with a Chaf<\/em>. The letter Chaf<\/em> is Yod<\/em>, Yod<\/em>, from the combination, YAHDONHY<\/em>, in its beginning and in its end. It is written, \u201cTen, ten, a piece, by the shekel of the sanctuary.\u201d It is a Chaf<\/em> [written only in Hebrew in the previous quote] from Keter<\/em>, which comprises ten Sefirot<\/em>, consisting of ten Sefirot<\/em> of Direct Light from above downward, and ten Sefirot<\/em> of Reflected Light from below upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

878) These twenty Sefirot<\/em> of Direct Light and Reflected Light are the water above the heaven, upper water, male, ten Sefirot<\/em> of Direct Light, and the water below the firmament, the lower water, females, the ten Sefirot<\/em> of Reflected Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabbi Akiva said about them to his disciples: \u201cWhen you reach stones of pure marble, do not say, \u2018Water, water,\u2019 lest you will put your souls at risk. These are not water as they are implied, Hassadim<\/em>. Rather, they are springing light, which consists of Hochma<\/em>, too, called \u201clight,\u201d and it springs from Hassadim<\/em>. This is why they were likened to springing water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That light neither ceases nor is cut or separated. And because it is from Keter<\/em>, it is called \u201cendless water,\u201d since Keter<\/em> is called \u201cendless\u201d [Ein Sof<\/em>].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
