Ezekiel 28:14 · World English Bible
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
The one addressed is the covering brain itself, the anointed cerebrum spread over the mystical mind like the wings that hide the mercy seat. The cherub that covereth is the right hemisphere concealing the unseen, the part of the head set in place to shelter what is holy within.

ESOTERIC
The one addressed is the covering brain itself, the anointed cerebrum spread over the mystical mind like the wings that hide the mercy seat. The cherub that covereth is the right hemisphere concealing the unseen, the part of the head set in place to shelter what is holy within. This is the mythic figure the old stories tell as Lucifer beside Saturn and God, the bright covering power that once walked the height.
The holy mountain is the higher realms of consciousness, the summit of the head where the light is known. To walk up and down among the stones of fire is to move through the burning points of spirit set into that high ground, the sparks of consciousness that light the inner peak. Spirit is fire, and these are its embers underfoot. The passage speaks of a covering intelligence placed at the top of a person, moving over the head among the fires of the awakened mind, before it turns and falls.
Cherub that covereth: the cerebrum, the right hemisphere spread over and concealing the mystical mind Holy mountain of God: the higher realms of consciousness, the summit of the head where light is known Stones of fire: the burning points of spirit set into the high ground, the sparks that light the inner peak

Where is my clearest, highest thinking quietly being used to cover something instead of to see?
The same faculty that lifts a person can throw them down, because the mind is friend to the one who masters it and enemy to the one who does not. The height itself is where the fall becomes possible.
Students who gain a glimpse of clear light often take it for an attainment and begin to guard it. That guarding is the beginning of losing it, which is why the teaching says to let even your realization go.
What is filled to the brim spills. Standing at the highest point is the least stable place to stand, so the sage does not reach for the summit and call it home.
