Mitzvot (Precepts/Commandments) Tefillin (Phylacteries) 

What is Mitzvot Tefillin in spirituality?

Mitzvot Tefillin means attracting the Light. In order for a person to perform the Mitzot Tefillin, he needs to reach certain connections with the external Kelim (vessels), the rule of Malchut, so that he can raise himself to his desire for Malchut, to arouse all the Kelim that are in it with the goal of attracting the Light from Zeir Anpin (small face).  And then ZON (Zeir Anpin and Nukva), which he actually builds when he has this yearning, include AVI (Aba ve Ima, Mother and Father) and receive the Light which spreads from there via the three Partzufim (faces), AVI, YESHSUT (Israel Saba ve Tvuna) Israel, Grandfather and Sagacity, and Da'at (knowledge) of ZON.

If a person is able to attract the Light in this way on his connection with others, this is called that he performs Mitzvot Tefillin.
