Hebrews 9:4 · World English Bible
having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
The inner sanctuary is the head, and every gold object set inside it is a power of the awakened brain overlaid with the incorruptible light. The ark is the skull holding the covenant, the seat where the higher self is enthroned; the censer is the breath rising as fragrant thought; the pot of manna is the fine substance the brain secretes to feed the spirit.

ESOTERIC
The inner sanctuary is the head, and every gold object set inside it is a power of the awakened brain overlaid with the incorruptible light. The ark is the skull holding the covenant, the seat where the higher self is enthroned; the censer is the breath rising as fragrant thought; the pot of manna is the fine substance the brain secretes to feed the spirit. Aaron's rod that budded is the spine flowering into life, dead wood breaking into bloom because the coiled power has ascended it.
Every treasure of this room stands for a faculty crowned with gold. Together they are the furnished higher mind of a person, the head become the holy place where spirit is kept.
The golden censer: the breath rising as fragrant, kindled thought within the head. The ark of the covenant: the skull that houses the higher self, overlaid with the incorruptible light. The golden pot of manna: the fine substance the awakened brain secretes to nourish the spirit. Aaron's rod that budded: the spine flowered into life, dead wood breaking into bloom as the coiled power rises. The tables of the covenant: the inner law written on the substance of the mind, the agreement fixed in the head.

What am I keeping in the best room of myself, and would I want anyone to see it?
The life energy is described as coiled at the base of the spine, rising through it like sap through a dry branch until it flowers at the crown. The spine is the instrument, not a metaphor.
The inner alchemy texts speak of a fine elixir gathered in the upper chamber of the head, fed by quiet breath. Nothing is brought in from outside; the body refines what it already has.
He wrote of a hidden treasure room inside the human being, locked and furnished, waiting for its owner to come in. The seeker walks the earth looking for what is stored in their own house.
