Building the vessels of Noah

By following the divine plan, we build a tabernacle of ourself.

Day one is violet, Netzach/Victory. God is One, there is no other. It is prohibited to worship a created thing.

Day two is indigo, Malchut/kingdom. This world was created to be a dwelling place for Hashem. We are to order ourselves accordingly.

Day three is blue, Chessed/loving-kindness. The energy of love is to be first contained within marriage. Adultery releases this energy in a reckless manner and is prohibited

Day four is green, Yesod/foundation. The universe was created to operate as one unit. To live apart from Heaven is similar to cutting the leg off a living animal and eating it. It is prohibited to do such a thing.

Day five is yellow, tiferet/beauty. The world was created in perfect form and balance. Things were put where they are because that is where they are supposed to be. To perserve this beauty we are instructed not to steal.

Day six is orange, hod/acknowledgment. Our lips are to be filled with words of Torah, Prayer and Wisdom. Any speech that goes against these are prohibited.

Day seven is red, gevurah/might. Man is made in the image of God. This is the higher may exist in the lower world. Murder is an attempt to separate God from this world.
