A full measure of hair is affixed above the eyes at the top of the forehead above the eyes. One thousand seven hundred Providence masters derive from those hairs, ready to wage war. Then they stop hanging down. Meaning, they stop falling over the eyes and covering them; the hair is pulled up from the eyes, and the eyes open.
The eyelashes are attached to the eyelids. They are fine short hairs. Both are called eyelids or eye coverings. One thousand four hundred myriads of shield bearers are connected to them, called eyelids. All these are called the eyes of Hashem. They are the illumination of Chochmah called eyes – Keter, Chochmah, Binah, Tiferet and Malchut of the head are called skull, eyes, ear, nose and mouth. They do not open, nor do they awaken, except when the lower parts the eyelids over the eyes separate from the upper. When the lower lashes separate from the upper eyelashes and make room to watch, the eyes open and seem as one waking up from sleep. The eyes look around, see the open eye of Arich Anpin, and bathe in its whiteness. Once they are washed in white, all the bearers of judgment against Israel are subdued. Hence, it is written, “Awake, why do you sleep, Hashem? Arise…” (Tehillim 44:24).
