Phylactery or Tefillin

The so-called phylacteries but in the Hebrew text we see towphaphah^[1] was a box often containing a scripture written on something like a mezuzah^[2] that is placed on the forehead with a leather thong that is wrapped around the arm down to the hand. The ritual stems from references in the Bible detailed rituals and ceremonies which are created surrounding meditation and prayer.

We see it mentioned in Matthew 23:5, "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,".

These words like borders or fringes, or breeches are like the word phylacteries and are symbols of ideas. The Greek word “phulakterion"^[3].

This phylactery is also called the Tefillin was supposed to be an article worn between the eyes, but the etymology: of Tefillin is related to the Hebrew word for prayer – t'phillah תְּפִלָּה^[4]. There is another word for pray and prayer in Hebrew, which is ^[5]

This Tefillin was said to be a meditation tool for relationships, according to Rabbi Goldie Milgram.

The Meme of Meditation

A meme^[6] is a unit of cultural information spread by imitation and there are many forms and forms of meditation by imitation. Meme or memetic theory explains the development of culture through the imitation of things: ideas, behaviors, and styles that are encoded as memes, so they can be easily imitated and there are thousands of ways to "meditate".

Jewish Meditation and the Kabbalah had a rich tradition of meditation with unique characteristics, but over a long history there has been the unmooring of the purpose until the practice produced a mental state that made the word of God to none effect.

In Deuteronomy 6:8 "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets^[7] between^[8] thine eyes^[9]."

Some have divided these ritual and ceremonial practices into four categories. Most techniques that promote focused concentration bring in elements of our willful intent. Original separation from the pure mind of our creator was due to willful intent on our part.
