Zohar Chayei Sarah
Continued from previous DZ
#194
And above the heart, there are four portions upon the brain of the head, but the Holy One, blessed be He, is the upper ruler over them, the King of all. The meaning: the tefillin of the hand is considered the aspect of the heart, which is Malchut, as above, in which the revelation of Chochmah is practiced, as above. But the tefillin of the head is considered the aspect of the brain, which is the secret of Zeir Anpin, who is a King ruling in covered Chassadim that he receives from Abba and Imma the upper ones, in the secret of “כִּי חָפֵץ חֶסֶד הוּא” “for He desires Chessed” (Micah 7:18), and the shining of Chochmah cannot be revealed in his place. And this is what he says: that in the four portions of the head, the Holy One, blessed be He, which is the secret of Zeir Anpin, is the one who rules, and the revelation of the shining of Chochmah is not practiced there.
And the secret of the Chochmah, this is as in the Temple, as it is written, “וְעָשִׂיתָ כְּרוּב אֶחָד מִקָּצָה מִזֶּה וּכְרוּב אֶחָד מִקָּצָה מִזֶּה” “And you shall make one cherub at the end from this side, and one cherub at the end from that side” (Exodus 25:19). And upon them is the Shechinah of the King in the four letters of YHVH, (Havayah): Yod-Hei upon the right cherub, and Vav-Hei upon the left cherub, and in two chariots, that is the upper chariot upon the right cherub and the lower chariot upon the left cherub.
Notes:
Above the heart are the four portions upon the brain of the head. The tefillin of the hand is Malchut, the heart, where Chochmah is revealed; the tefillin of the head is Zeir Anpin, the brain, who rules in covered Chassadim, and Chochmah is not revealed there. As with the cherubim in the Temple, Yod-Hei is upon the right and Vav-Hei upon the left, the upper chariot on the right and the lower on the left.

And in this manner it is the heart and the brain, which are the tefillin of the hand and the tefillin of the head: the heart from here, and the brain from here, and upon them the Shechinah of the King, in the four portions. Rabbi Elazar said, From here onward, they are the secrets of the crowns of the letters: the portions in their bodies, that is, the houses, and their straps; they are a (הלכה למשה מסיני) law to Moses from Sinai. And their hint has already been revealed, that is, in the explanation before us, and the reason of all is in the secret of the thirteen attributes of mercy.
Notes:
The heart and the brain are like the tefillin of the hand and of the head, with the Shechinah of the King upon the four portions. From here onward are the secrets of the crowns of the letters. The houses and straps are a law to Moses from Sinai, and the reason of all is in the secret of the thirteen attributes of mercy.
