Cherubim, sword, ark, etc.

[solomon levi]

What I say below is not the final word/definition at all.
(as if I need to say that)

Cherubim, spelled in hebrew (transliterated) KRBIM.
This is an amazing word/schema.
As singular, cherub/KRB it consists of the three manifestations of the number 2,
archetype of containers, shells, vessels, dwellings...

K=20
R=200
B=2

B is the archetype.
K is the temporal (in time) existential container.
R is the cosmic exalted expression; basically the universal mind/cosmic consciousness.

KRB, besides cherub, means 'to grip, grasp, seize'.
Notice that if we read it backwards it forms a word with nearly the reversed meaning:
BRK - to bend, kneel; to bless, to adore, to worship.

One is very welcoming and adoring and the other is a guard ready to arrest/prevent you.

"So he drove out Adam and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life." Genesis 3:24

Notice the "sword" is spelled very similar to the cherub: ChRB
This is a significant word alchemically - not only the depiction of swords in alchemical works, but
what this schema means according to the cipher.
Ch = 8 and signifies undifferentiated energy. It is our Prima Materia in its archetypal/ideal state.
Notice Chyle/Hyle. So ChRB/sword is archetypal undifferentiated energy/consciousness projected into
an archetypal container.

Anyway, KRB/cherub is an energetic container, a force field if you will;
"an order of angelic beings".
"Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth and I have set thee so thou wast upon the holy mountain of God thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."

The cherubs are also used to cover, contain the Ark of the Covenant.
According to the bible, one can build cherubs from gold or olive wood.

When I contemplate this word and it's applications, I get the sense that it refers to dimensions.
A dimension contained in a dimension contained in a dimension: KRB
We, consciousness, is exiled from the Tree of life dimensionally.

Consider that with our sword, ChRB.

What is the ark? ARN
This is a beautiful schema.
The unthinkable Aleph; cosmic consciousness; freedom.
How do we get a box/coffin from that? Well, Ns usual meaning is an extension of H/life as
individual existences, hence boxes. But at the end of a word Nf (final) = 700

Consider our tree which the cherubim contain/cover/guard. OTz
O = 70, the realisation of indeterminism, combined with Tz = 90 repetitious cell division/multiplication.
Makes sense for a tree of life. It is the 7/70/700 that signifies indetermination, potential, freedom.

Back to the ark, covered by cherubim; what is finally inside of all these boxes and coverings?
The covenant/testimony: ODTh
A covenant is an agreement. A testimony is a report of the truth.
The truth is disguised/occulted by all these layers/veils/dimensions.
The testimony is not a thing inside the ark, but a truth, a seeing.
The word "testimony" begins with Ayin/O, the eye.
The "all-seeing" eye sees all potentials.
The next two autiot are expressions of 4; D = 4, Th = 400
D is the resistance to infinity which allows the game of life/Hay/5.
Th is the "omega" of the hebrew autiot. It is the ideal, perfect Temple of Aleph realised.

וַיְהִ֗י בְּצַוֹּתֹו֙ אֶת־ הָאִ֤ישׁ לְבֻֽשׁ־ הַבַּדִּים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר קַ֥ח אֵשׁ֙ מִבֵּינֹ֣ות לַגַּלְגַּ֔ל מִבֵּינֹ֖ות לַכְּרוּבִ֑ים וַיָּבֹא֙ וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֔ד אֵ֖צֶל הָאֹופָֽן׃

And it came to pass that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen saying Take fire from between
the wheels from between the cherubims then he went in and stood beside the wheels. - Ezekiel 10:6
http://biblos.com/ezekiel/10-6.htm

First let's break this down into literal words.
VIHI - this is the same as VIHI AVR - "let there be light". The root is simply "existence, being".
BTzVThV - to command, to charge, to order. "To give charge to" is an interesting view.
ATh - alpha and omega. They always ignore this when interpreting, but it is there.
HAISh - "the man"
LBSh - "to wear, to put on, to clothe, to be arrayed"
HBDIM - the root BD means "separation, parts, poles, linen"; BDIM can be simply pluralisation of BD,
but BDIM also means "lies, empty talk, boasts, and oracle priests". BDI is the word used to refer to the poles
that carried the ark of the covenant.
LAMR - "saying" - the word/logos
QCh - "take"
ASh - "Fire"
MBINVTh - the root BIN means "between, interval, space between; discern, understand" as in BINH, the third sephiroth.
LGLGL - fascinating combination: 30/3/30/3/30; it means "whirling/vortex, wheel, circle of stone"
MBINVTh - repeated - "interval, space between"
LKRVBIM - the cherubim, a dimensional construct
VIBA - "to enter"
VIOMD - "to stand, position"
ATzL - "beside, joining together
HAVPN - "the wheel"


KRVB/cherub is very similar to the root KRVZA, meaning "a herald", which brings us again to the caduceus/kerukeion - herald's staff/wand.
The herald/cock/rooster is also prominent on Abrasax stones with two serpent legs. (A-BRA-SAX : BRA-ShITh)
AVPN/wheel is very similar to the root AVPIR/Ophir, the land "from which comes good gold". And who can miss the
significance of seprents and Ophites.

Even the river which Ezekiel says he was near when he had his vision is called KBR/Chebar, which means "intertwined, plaited" among
other things ("seeing that which is now"; "multiples, abundance".)

Anyway, there's too much to go into, but I think it deserves to be considered in a dimesnional, vortex, scalar perspective.
If anyone is interested, more details/specifics can be discussed.

[z0 K]

I totally agree with you: the matter deserves to be considered in a dimensional, vortex, scalar perspective. I'm not well versed in linguistics or philology. I think getting a fresh or basic translation of the meanings of the words used by the ancients is very helpful and revealing. I have come to the same conclusion arrived at from experiences in both labs, the inner and the outer.

[Kiorionis]

Your cherubim, sword and ark remind me of the Thrice Great Trinosophia, chapter six specifically:

"My son, thou hast let slip by the opportunity. Thou couldst have seized instantly the bird, the torch, and the altar. Thou wouldst have become altar, bird and torch at one and the same time."

[solomon levi]

Nice connection Kiorionis!
There are etymological synchronicities there too.
Bird is TzPVR in hebrew and the rock (which becomes the altar and throne) is TzVR.
There are frequent references to a snare PCh and trapping birds, for ex:
http://biblos.com/amos/3-5.htm

And this PCh has etymological relations with Puch/"Antimony" and with Peche/fish/mercury - possibly peche blend/pitchblend...
There is the thigh symbolism http://forum.alchemyforums.com/showthread.php?2690-thigh
Thigh is PChD, which is also translated as "fear, awe, dread" and is another name for the 5th sephirah Geburah.
PChV is translated as "black, charcoal".
PChH has been translated "governor" but I think it holds a different alchemical intention:
http://biblos.com/ezra/5-14.htm
לְשֵׁשְׁבַּצַּ֣ר שְׁמֵ֔הּ דִּ֥י פֶחָ֖ה שָׂמֵֽהּ׃

"Sheshbazzar whom he had made governor" IMO reads "Sheshbazzar is the name appointed to this PChH"
And a reasonable translation of ShShBTzR is "limestone from the rock"
ShSh = marble, limestone
B = from
TzR = rock

Nebuchadnezzar is also referring to a prior manifestation of the rock/TzR: NBVKDNTzR
The whole sentence is a development of the stone, it's "utensils" also translated "vessels".
NBV/Nebo is synonymous with Mercury - he was a god of wisdom and writing.
KD in both hebrew and greek means "jar" and corresponds with Kadmus/Mercury.
NTzR means guard, protect, preserve.
So the whole schema suggests "Mercury/Nebo guardian/preserver of the water vessel/pitcher/jar.

Torch in hebrew is LPID, which suggests lapide/stone.
Also phanos in greek which has connotations to Saturn.
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0059:entry=Phaenon&highlight=stilbon
Interesting, we have in this link a connection with Stilbon.

"The antimony of the sages, raw matter directly extracted from the mine, "is not properly mineral, and even less metallic as Philalethes (30) teaches us; but without partaking of these two substances it is something between one and the other. It is not corporeal however, because it is entirely volatile; it is not spirit because it liquefies like metal in fire. It is therefore a chaos which stands in stead of mother to all metals". It is the metallic and mineral flower ([*235-3] --- anthemon), the first rose, black in truth, which has remained down here as a part of the elementary chaos. From it, from this flower of flowers (flos florum) we first draw our frost ([*235-4] --- stibe) which is the spirit moving on the surface of the waters and the white ornament of the angels; reduced to this bright whiteness, it is the mirror of the art, the torch ([*235-5] --- stilbe), the lamp or lantern (31), the brightness of stars and splendor of the sun (splendor solis); still, united to philosophical gold, it becomes the metallic planet Mercury ([*235-6] --- stilbonaster), the nest of the bird ([*235-7] --- stibas), our Phoenix and its small stone ([*235-8] --- stia); finally it is the root, subject, or pivot (Latin, stipes, stirps) of the Great Work and not common antimony." - Fulcanelli

[solomon levi]

Wow. I just received a "download" from the "Operator" while exploring the etymology of the word 'secret'.
I hope you guys enjoy this. I've already prepared some of the work in these previous posts in this thread
relating to KRB/dimensions and ARN/arc/boxes. Please read or re-read my first two posts in this thread
in context with orgone boxes and you will be amazed. I can hardly believe what i wrote myself when I re-read it.
This verse from Ezekiel is especially enlightening:

וַיְהִ֗י בְּצַוֹּתֹו֙ אֶת־ הָאִ֤ישׁ לְבֻֽשׁ־ הַבַּדִּים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר קַ֥ח אֵשׁ֙ מִבֵּינֹ֣ות לַגַּלְגַּ֔ל מִבֵּינֹ֖ות לַכְּרוּבִ֑ים וַיָּבֹא֙ וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֔ד אֵ֖צֶל הָאֹופָֽן׃

"Take (the secret) fire from Binah/Saturn/Time/Interval/Space/Darkness/Void"!!

For those who like recipes, this is a hum-dinger!
Many of you have probably understood the gold plated wooden box/ark of the covenant as an orgone box.
This is describing how it works. The dimensional nesting and shielding which manifests OR, AVR, OD, UR - the black sun.

arcane (adj.) (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=arcane&allowed_in_frame=0) 1540s, from Latin arcanus "secret, hidden, private, concealed," from arcere "close up, enclose, contain," from arca "chest, box, place for safe-keeping," from PIE *ark- "to hold, contain, guard" (cf. Greek arkos "defense," arkein "to ward off;" Armenian argel "obstacle;" Lithuanian raktas "key," rakinti "to shut, lock").
Do you see - it says the same as i said above.
Why "defense"? "Ward off"?
Consider it in terms of "only removing the superfluous" from the One "thing" (which is not a thing: no-thing, Binah, darkness, al khem, void.)

The empty vessel is one path, but the covenant suggests another path using a magnet.
I was asked if alchemy requires belief. Yes, the covenant is an "agreement". There is also a physical manifestation of this magnet:
http://www.billheidrick.com/gifs/tawb.gifhttp://www.billheidrick.com/gifs/yodb.gifhttp://www.billheidrick.com/gifs/reshb.gifhttp://www.billheidrick.com/gifs/betb.gif--- cutting up (of beasts in sacrifice); contract, covenant; mediator of the covenant; token of the covenant; people of the covenant; agreement; feast; washing soda (alkali, salt of lye).


I think this should shed enough light on the Ships/Arks of Poussin and Fulcanelli and the Coat of Arms where the bear/arctos carries the
same box instead of a ship/argo: http://forum.alchemyforums.com/showthread.php?1668-The-Coat-of-Arms-of-Pope-Benedict-XVI


Something I saw recently about the "ship":
"Other symbolic names for the monad are ship, chariot, Proteus (a god capable of changing his form), Mnemosyne, and Polyonymous (having many names)."
- secret teachings of all ages

There's a lot of numerology/gematria stuff too relating to significant words and multiples of 33.
Maybe I'll post it later.

[ghetto alchemist]

Excellent analysis Sol.

This translation is particularly interesting:

Solomon Levi:
"Take (the secret) fire from Binah/Saturn/Time/Interval/Space/Darkness/Void"!!

Reminds me where the Tao De Jing says:

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

Curiously, emptiness/nothingness is a central tenet of Taoism, and even the Bhuddhists talk of the importance of the emptiness between the spokes of a wheel.

Hmmmm.....:|

G Alchemist

[solomon levi]

Thanks G!

Let's look some more into one of my favorite subjects - the Ark of the Covenant.

" 1“And you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits.2“You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.3“You shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.4“You shall make for it a grating of network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.5“You shall put it beneath, under the ledge of the altar, so that the net will reach halfway up the altar.6“You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.7“Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.8“You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you in the mountain, so they shall make it." - Exodus 27

The word translated as bronze is the same word for copper. In fact, copper is probably a better translation in this case due to its conductivity.
So hopefully you know what a copper grating is used for as i posted in the practical section.

The ancients were very wise and had technologies surpassing our own today, equal or greater than Tesla:

And here we see the "tree of life" covered by the same lattice network.
Even the "fish gods" are wearing lattice gridwork to protect themselves:

Inside the copper networking we see a rod budding, or perhaps a torch. But when we consider the artifacts
within the ark of the covenant, one among them was Aaron's rod which buds. Would it explain anything to you
if I say Aaron = Iron rod? :)

Browse these pics if you like. Some i couldn't copy and paste:

There's so many connections here. If I had the inspiration I'd be writing a book instead of writing it here.
Anyway, understand the relation between the fish and mercury and water... John/Ioannes (means "fish") the baptist.
Baphomet - baptist... etc. Water is the universal solvent, but also the universal conductor. Water holds many secrets:

One more clue - copper, NChShTh = 758 in hebrew gematria, equal to this Biblical phrase:
http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?bnum=4&cnum=11&vnum=7

Now DG - coriander is merely GD - fish, backwards, sharing the same number - 7.
ZRO - seed, is very much like our word ZeRO, as are the two following words which are one word repeated:
OIN which you may recognise from AIN SVP having the meaning "nothing". But as OIN it also means
"eye" and "fountain", source... an eye from an eye or wheel within a wheel.

Let's look closer as to the significance of coriander using etymology and green language:
First attested in English late 14th century, the word coriander derives from the Old French (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_French) coriandre, which comes from Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) coriandrum,[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander#cite_note-2) in turn from Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language) κορίαννον (koriannon).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander#cite_note-3)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander#cite_note-4) The earliest attested form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycenaean_Greek) ko-ri-ja-da-na[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander#cite_note-5) (written in Linear B (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_B) syllabic script, reconstructed as koriadnon), similar to the name of Minos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minos)' daughter Ariadne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariadne), which later evolved to koriannon or koriandron.

Here we have Fulcanelli's Ariadne's thread. But also we have maiden/Kore and warrior, man/Andre.
And the biblical phrase states that the manna came from the seed of Kore and Andre. Basic alchemical
symbolism which doesn't help much. Interestingly, GD also corresponds to the numbers 3/G and 4/D.
The bible must be decoded because the modern translation always lies. Here we have VOINV BOIN HBDLCh
translated as "and the color thereof as the color of bdellium".

Strong's only offers us bdellium as a translation, but looking on wikipedia we find a town of BDLCh which
translates as "crystal". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedolah
We find it also translated as "small precious things; bdellium

It's all open to interpretation, but one such interpretation I see is that by using the maiden/copper
and the warrior/iron, we attract a "seed" or mercury/fish which is our manna which appears as
small, precious crystals - not unlike what i have witnessed from Nibiru's experiments.
And the maiden and warrior needn't necessarily be copper and iron.

Maybe these two OIN BDLCh relate to Cylianis two crystal vases.

[solomon levi]

So a bit more on dimensions. I mean this literally and figuratively... figuratively I mean a bubble, an hermetically
sealed "flask". Literally, it is diagramed as this trinitarian shield:

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTYOoUrx48FpIbhs40zVL5M_QNgaHD_3 _kwlsv_08fuZ5-Vvq7y


These relate also to the four elements when we consider fire as something beyond the other three.
Notice that son and SS make a line. Including Father produces a plane/triangle. And converting this
2-d drawing into 3-d, including God produces a solid/tetrahedron.
None of the three in the plane connect (non est). Only through moving "up" into another dimension
do they connect (est), through "God" or primum materiam.
It is the same in mind dimensions - the ego mind cannot solve its problems within itself. Solution =
another dimension. "The mind that created a problem must evolve to solve that problem." - Einstein
The ego mind/1st attention/thinking must be still to dissolve itself into presence/no thinking/2nd attention/seeing.

Something else I wanted to share about dimensions... I've spoken about the illusory nature of the ego when it is
seen, being a completely psychological entity without substance (in Taoism, form without substance = dream/phantasm).
And this ego/identity appears as a result of folding space-time, or as they say, self-reflection... the ego is a psychological
bubble/dimension within the actual world dimension. And the ego goes further into confusion by believing its stories
which are the next level of dimensions... the ego is a thought which produces other thoughts - dreams within dreams.
Some of these thoughts which egos produce are religious, political, patriotic... identities within the identity - more
fracturing and separation created by a fractured separate idea of self. In a way they are all lies... even the best intentioned
stories. And these lies were Biblically determined to the serpent which is a symbol for mind/manas - the fruit of knowledge.
Mind is also symbolised by the pentagram - the fifth point which rises above the four elements. The pentagram can be
upturned or down - mind can emphasize the without or the within/silence... fold back in to the higher dimension instead
create more mini-dimensions of thinking/knowledge. The serpent must be stilled/fixed to the tree with iron nails/will:

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT9_L_TgIx132n-jOffstUqNH0D94p6mQ43aF5l0A1mDIqfkmnm

Spiritually speaking alchemically, this is the fixation of mercury which is simultaneously the dissolution of the body
through going within/meditation. Which gives me the idea that animated/double mercury is able to meditate while
going about the affairs of one's daily life.
These spiritual translations do not take anything away from laboratory alchemy. I don't think alchemy is just spiritual work.
Obviously, by this thread, we are seeing how to create dimensions using minerals and metals, as in the Ark of the Covenant.
These "two" alchemies are the same. This is why I am trying to stress dimensions.

[solomon levi]

By "bubble" I mean this:

Thanks for sharing
This is my own exegesis of Ezekiel 10
http://niv.scripturetext.com/ezekiel/10.htm

The Glory Departs From the Temple
The glory is the projection of light from the temple which is the body of the magickian

1 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of sapphirea above the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim.

2 The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And he entered my sight. And as I watched, he went in.
The city is the body. The fire of the burning coals is fire prana and kundalini. The cherubim are four hermetic animals. The wheel is the chariot of fire or merkabah. The energy body forms this shape when the merkabah has developed sufficiently to begin initiations in the solar works and attains in projection the golden chamber of Melchiezedek in the Higher Planes at Shamballah. During these initiations which Alice Bailey called the 5th and 6th solar initiations as did Dr. Joshua David Stone , the magickian projects to the Great Pyramid in the Valley of Luxor in Shamballah and projects through the capstone stretching the silver cord.Entering sight; the magickian is afforded greater clairvoyance through the higher vibration of this golden chamber.

http://biblos.com/ezekiel/10-2.htm



3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
The inner court is the Chamber of Melchiezedek before an altar in Shamballah surrounded by angels and Mahatma. In the 6th initiation the aspirant enters the golden chamber of Melchiezedek and is attuned by the Mahatma and archangels there. The floor and the walls are as a great pastel layer of clouds.

4 Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord.
This beautiful light emanates throughout the court and permeates the temple. The energy body is the City of God , the Tree of Life and the Temple.

5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
The magickian manifests wings , also in subsequent pairs.

6 When the Lord commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.
The aspirant projects wearing a simple silhouette of energy appearing like a gown of linen. The aspiriant is attuned by the higher vibration of the court, the chamber within, the angels, Christ and the Mahatma assembled accepting energy from them.

7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
The aspirant accepts a Rod of Initiation which is subtle energy . After the initiation and attunement, the aspirant goes out, returning to the body.

8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like the hands of a man.)
9 I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like chrysolite.
10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.

12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
The spine is the primary tree of life but later trees manifest on each limb and every finger. The body morphs with wings. The primary eye is the third eye but the magician manifests eyes on the palms, and soles and in the centre of each stone and chakra.

13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
15Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.

16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not leave their side.
The wings are a morphing of the wheels or the chariot of fire called the merkabah or body of light.

17 When the cherubim stood still, they also stood still; and when the cherubim rose, they rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
The aspirant's energy body morphs into a Hermetic Sphinx and into a winged angel which continues to ascend. The living creatures are in them;

HeavenStone;..HA/GA.Arch Angel ....Green...Air ......Winged Angel with magickian's face
MoonStone; ...Guardian Angel...........Blue.....Water....Eagle Winged
SunStone;...... Higher Self................Yellow...Fire.....Lion Maned Aura
EarthStone;.....Guardian Demon........Red.......Earth....Bull headed horned and hooved minotaur body
and
StarStone;...... Lower Self................Orange ..Fire......Serpent tail of the sphinx

19 While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
Each of the subtle energy aspects of the magickian can fly or project on their own in a body of light.

20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were cherubim. 21Each had four faces and four wings, and under their wings was what looked like the hands of a man.
22 Their faces had the same appearance as those I had seen by the Kebar River. Each one went straight ahead.

Psalm 91:13
Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010)Upon the viper and upon the cockatrice you shall tread, and you shall trample the lion and the dragon.
The magickian overcomes the solar works of the lion to become the angel and the dragon of kundalini to continue ascension of their human energy body.

[ArcherSage]

Perhaps the 2 cherubim that protect the ark are in fact the 2 "cerebrum" that cover the holy of holies in the brain.

[Aunt Clair]

Yes, that fits nicely. Thank you for sharing.

As above, so below, as on the right so on the left, as within so with 'out;.

There are two angels of life and of death one on either side of the Tree of Life which is the human spine our Axis Mundi with our arms outreaching to heavens above and our legs and feet are the roots grounded upon Mother Earth.

There are also two angels within, the angel of the sun and the Great Work and the angel of the moon and the Lesser Work.

It follows that there are angels above and below. The one above is the conjoined genus the Higher Self and Guardian Angel. The one below is the Goetic apprentice.

In Kabballah there is balance and dichotomy. Kabballah and Hermetic Alchemy are some of the tools to alchemical ascension.

There remains a goal of balance. As we grow there is chaos and development then there is stability and peace but no growth. So this pattern continues eternally. The spinal chakral column is the trunk of our metaphysical tree of life, within.

I have reflected more on these thoughts. Here is a Post Script revision of my own exegesis;
Thanks for sharing

This is my own exegesis of Ezekiel 10
http://niv.scripturetext.com/ezekiel/10.htm

The Glory Departs From the Temple
The glory is the projection of light from the temple which is the body of the magickian

The magickian projects from the body as a golden seed of light. This is the glory. And the temple is the human energy body transmuted. The magickian projects from the body as the lion-maned golden solar angel which is called the Higher Self. The magickian can project as the serpent tail from the lower rear rump of the sphinx was the Lower Self. The energy body is the temple. Departing is projection. These are amongst the specific projections we are called to perform to learn and to ascend the consciousness.


1 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of sapphire above the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim.
The circle of energy centres that manifest above the third eye's treasure are deep cobalt blue like sapphire in elemental energy colour. The Throne of God is a male elemental energy phallic nexus in the space of the perineum. The Crown of the Goddess is the reciprocal female elemental energy ring above the treasure in the scalp. There is the golden bowl which is the energy in the inner cranium. There is the reciprocal silver cord which is the thread the umbilical cord through which the energy centres are strung like cosmic beads on a divine necklace.


2 The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And he entered my sight. And as I watched, he went in.
The city is the body. The fire of the burning coals is fire prana and kundalini. The cherubim are four hermetic animals. The wheel is the chariot of fire or merkabah.

The energy body forms this shape when the merkabah has developed sufficiently to begin initiations in the solar works and attains in projection the golden chamber of Melchiezedek in the Higher Planes at Shamballah. During these initiations which Alice Bailey called the 5th and 6th solar initiations as did Dr. Joshua David Stone, the magickian projects to the Great Pyramid in the Valley of Luxor in Shamballah and projects through the capstone stretching the silver cord.Entering sight; the magickian is afforded greater clairvoyance through the higher vibration of this golden chamber.
Also, the hands become eyes too. The coals are like burning energy centres of fire energy, alchemically. These centres have sight. Fire is light. The magickian develops the third eye from the golden treasure shen giving the internal light, the eternal flame. The eyes then appear in clustres around the third eye move in diverse dimensions not just before the face but in all directions. And the centre of the palm and the ball, instep and heel develop fire coals which become eyes too.

3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
The inner court is the Chamber of Melchiezedek before an altar in Shamballah surrounded by angels and Mahatma. In the 6th initiation the aspirant enters the golden chamber of Melchiezedek and is attuned by the Mahatma and archangels there. The floor and the walls are as a great pastel layer of clouds. And the son of man goes in, this is the invocation of the Christ. And the cloud fills the inner court. This is the Holy Spirit filling the the magickian. There are cherubim are the four angels of the wheel, the four hermetic angels the four principle angels of Christ;
Michael
Gabriel
Auriel
Raphael
There is contention over which angel presides over which direction and which elemental energy. This is my own, imho and ime;
Element Angel Colour 'Gospel' Sphinx position cardinal limb
Air Gabriel Emerald Matthew Angel Superior North left leg Above Superior ArchAngel HeavenStone Ruby Xie Noble Earth Manifestation
Earth Raphael Ruby Luke Bull Inferior South right leg Below Belly Guardian Demon EarthStone Emerald Jing Noble Air Power, Lift
Fire Auriel Golden Mark Lion Right West right arm Before Chest Solar Angel SunStone Sapphire Chi Noble Water Flow, Heal
Water Michael Sapphire John Eagle Left East left arm Behind Head Guardian Angel MoonStone Golden Shen Noble Fire Sight, Unite
There are four wheels to let the chariot fly, the chariot of fire is the merkabah of God within each of us. The minor chakras of the physical eyes and the gonads are also wheels of the chariot. The coal is one fire. A spheroid energy centre is one, four satellite spheres in bi cardinal positions above and cardinal positions below manifest around any active sphere, then these four biforcate and become as eight. These eight become a Wheel of Life.


4 Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord.
This beautiful light emanates throughout the court and permeates the temple. The energy body is the City of God , the Tree of Life and the Temple. This is a recipe for Unio Mystica to become for a time before the Godhead and to ascend the consciousness up to the threshold which is the Golden Chamber of Melchiezedek within and above us all. The magickian is initiated in the Temple when it is full of golden light when the heart is full of love and compassion and tolerance and service then the magickian takes the fire from the heart to the temple of the head the forehead from which they project as a golden sublime seed of light away from the heavy debris of the body.


5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
The magickian manifests wings , also in subsequent pairs. And even the humblest of magickians who manifests their wings will be heard and addressed.


6 When the Lord commanded the man in linen, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel. The aspirant projects wearing a simple silhouette of energy appearing like a gown of linen. The aspiriant is attuned by the higher vibration of the court, the chamber within, the angels, Christ and the Mahatma assembled accepting energy from them.
7 Then one of the cherubim reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took up some of it and put it into the hands of the man in linen, who took it and went out.
The aspirant accepts a Rod of Initiation which is subtle energy . After the initiation and attunement, the aspirant goes out, returning to the body.

8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like the hands of a man.)
9 I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like chrysolite.
10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
This is like a hypercube but round not square , it is circles circling other circles

11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.

12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
The spine is the primary tree of life but later trees manifest on each limb and every finger. The body morphs with wings. The primary eye is the third eye but the magician manifests eyes on the palms, and soles and in the centre of each stone and chakra.

13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”
14 Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
The faces are the four totems of the Hermetic Sphinx. The cherub is the angel and air which lifts and ascends. The Man is the son of Earth and begins as a bull but becomes the angel. All have within the angel and the demon. The demon is selfish, the angel serves. The demon is chaotic, the angel is harmonious. The demon is rage, the angel is hope. The demon is hate and anger and fear. The angel is love and peace and wisdom.

The seven double letters of Kaballah yield treasures and tribulations. Their balance is the trevail; the work.

Very cool! Especially slides 12 and 13. Thank you for sharing, Aunt Clair!

I wish I knew more Hebrew. Before I die it is a goal of mine to learn both Latin and Hebrew fluently.

Something you might find interest in, if you have not already found it worth studying is "The Bible Wheel" (https://www.biblewheel.com/Book/BibleWheel_Book_web.pdf).

Really interesting stuff!
