Hebrew translation:
849. מִצְוָה שִׁשִּׁית הִיא תְּפִלָּה שֶׁל יָד בִּזְרוֹעַ שְׂמֹאל. וּמִצַּד הַגְּבוּרָה ה’ שֶׁל יָד כֵּהָה, מִכֶּתֶר וְעַד גְּבוּרָה, חָמֵשׁ סְפִירוֹת, וְהֵן תְּפִלִּין שֶׁל רֹאשׁ שֶׁל הָעַמּוּד הָאֶמְצָעִי. וְהִיא קֶשֶׁר שָׁלֹשׁ רְצוּעוֹת, שֶׁהֵן נֵצַח הוֹד יְסוֹד.
850. וְהִיא מִצְוָה שְׁבִיעִית, מִצְוַת צִיצִית, כּוֹלֶלֶת תְּכֵלֶת וְלָבָן, דִּין וְרַחֲמִים. בָּאֵשׁ, אֵשׁ לְבָנָה לֹא אוֹכֶלֶת. תְּכֵלֶת אוֹכֶלֶת וּמְכַלָּה, (מלכים-א יח) וַתֹּאכַל אֶת הָעֹלָה. לָבָן מִיָּמִין, תְּכֵלֶת מִשְּׂמֹאל. הָעַמּוּד הָאֶמְצָעִי יִחוּד בֵּין שְׁנֵיהֶם, יָרֹק. מִשּׁוּם כָּךְ פֵּרְשׁוּהוּ בַּעֲלֵי הַמִּשְׁנָה, מֵאֵימָתַי קוֹרִין אֶת שְׁמַע בְּשַׁחֲרִית? מִשֶּׁיַּכִּיר בֵּין תְּכֵלֶת לְלָבָן. וּמִפְּנֵי זֶה תִּקְּנוּ פָּרָשַׁת צִיצִית לִקְרֹא אוֹתָהּ בְּיִחוּד.
Pinchas 848-850
The sixth special precept is the wearing of Tefilin. The one of the head is to connect to the central column, the five Sefirot from Keter to Gevurah.
Keter – top of the skull, spiritual entry point to the physical body
Chokmah – Right brain, Wisdom
Binah – Left brain, Understanding
Chessed – Right arm, Sharing
Gevurah – Left arm, desire to receive the light for sharing.
We put the second Tefilin on the left arm to control the Sefirot from Gevurah to Malchut.
The two connections of the head strap and the one on the left arm
The Sefirot of Netzach, Hod and Yessod connect the lower triangle of Netzach, Hod and Yessod.
The seventh precept is the wearing of the Tzitzit. It’s the prayer shawl that we cover ourselves with during the day prayer. Its colors are white for right and Chessed and blue color for left and Gevurah. They represent judgment and mercy.
When the first light of the morning is enough for us to distinguish between blue and white, it is the best time to recite the Shema Israel prayer and unify Zeir Anpin and Malchut. It strengthens the spiritual connection to the light of Chessed of the day that begins to appear on that time.
The color blue (like sky blue) תכלת is the color of Malchut. It is the end action and purpose תכלית of Creation. The purpose in Hebrew has the additional Yod י over the ‘blue’ תכלת and that means that the purpose is to bring the light of the ten Sefirot to Malchut. The first three letters of ‘blue’ תכל is for ‘end of’ so the ‘blue’ of Malchut represents end. The Zohar tells us that all the colors are good in dreams except for the blue of Malchut. It may represent end of something in our lives or others in the dream. (NEVER interpret dreams that show blue color negatively).
The color of earth and the sky is blue because the י Yod of the Light אור that makes the אויר, ‘air’ vibrates in Malchut with frequencies that show the blue colors.
Some people have ability to see colors of spiritual energies emanating from a physical object like a person’s aura and special objects.
