The meeting place is fixed at one exact point in the body: from above the mercy seat, from between the 2 guardians, the divine speaks. The mercy seat is the covering upon the innermost chamber, the seat of the higher consciousness set at the crown, and the voice comes from just above it because contact with spirit happens at the topmost point of a person, over the sanctuary and not out in the flesh. The ark of the testimony is that inner chamber itself, the hidden vessel in the head that holds the buried law of one's own being.
The 2 cherubims are the twin forces, the pair of currents that face each other across the seat, and the divine communes from the space between them, the still center point where opposing energies balance. The whole picture locates where a person actually hears the deeper self: not anywhere outward, but at the single high place inside, above the covered chamber, in the gap held open between the 2 guardians.
