Exodus 25:20 · World English Bible
The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.
2 guardian currents rise over the innermost seat of the body and bend their attention inward, and the whole secret is that they face each other rather than the outer world. The mercy seat is the still center where the higher self rests, the pineal chamber at the crown, and it stays covered and protected only when the opposing powers of the head turn toward one another and toward that point.

ESOTERIC
2 guardian currents rise over the innermost seat of the body and bend their attention inward, and the whole secret is that they face each other rather than the outer world. The mercy seat is the still center where the higher self rests, the pineal chamber at the crown, and it stays covered and protected only when the opposing powers of the head turn toward one another and toward that point. Wings lift because refined energy always climbs upward. When the 2 sides of a mind stop pulling apart and agree upon the same quiet place, the space above the seat is sheltered and made whole.
What religion pictures as gold figures on a box is the meeting of the higher forces over the deepest chamber within a person.
Cherubims: the 2 opposing currents of the higher mind, the guardians of the crown Wings: refined energy lifted upward, the rising of the finer force Mercy seat: the still inner chamber at the crown where the higher self rests, the pineal center

What quiet thing in me would be safe if my attention stopped scattering and turned toward it?
Softness and quiet are what shelter the small living thing, while force exposes it. What is tended with care keeps growing; what is forced breaks.
The teaching on a one-pointed mind says the scattered attention is what loses the thread. When all the parts of you agree on the same still place, that place is finally protected.
He wrote that the mind that turns in on itself finds a citadel nothing outside can storm. The guard is attention facing inward, not outward at the noise.
