2 Kings 19:15 · World English Bible
Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
The turn inward, away from every outer power that threatens, arrives at the one place where the divine actually sits: between the 2 winged figures over the mercy seat, which is the space between the 2 hemispheres of the brain, the gap where awareness rises above the paired flesh. The God who dwells there is called alone because at that center there is only one seer, undivided, behind all the states of mind that rise and fall as kingdoms.

ESOTERIC
The turn inward, away from every outer power that threatens, arrives at the one place where the divine actually sits: between the 2 winged figures over the mercy seat, which is the space between the 2 hemispheres of the brain, the gap where awareness rises above the paired flesh. The God who dwells there is called alone because at that center there is only one seer, undivided, behind all the states of mind that rise and fall as kingdoms.
Heaven and earth are the higher and lower nature made by that same single awareness within the skull, and to pray before it is to withdraw attention from the many and rest it on the one that never divides. What outer religion calls the maker of the world is the still point in the head from which the whole inner world is projected and held.
Cherubims: the 2 lobes of the brain, winged and paired, guarding the seat of awareness between them Kingdoms of the earth: the shifting states and habits of the lower nature that seem to rule a person by turns Heaven and earth: the higher mind and the body, both raised out of the one awareness within
Esoteric lens
When the noise is at its worst, where exactly in me is the part that is only watching?
The use of the wheel is in the empty hub at its center, and the use of the room is in the space inside the walls. What holds everything is the gap, not the parts around it.
Behind every changing thought there is one seer who does not change and is never itself seen. The many states come and go, the witness stays single.
Thoughts are weather crossing a sky, loud and busy and always moving. The sky is the one thing in the scene that never takes sides.
