에스겔 1:14의 Kabbalah
וְהַחַיּ֖וֹת רָצ֣וֹא וָשׁ֑וֹב כְּמַרְאֵ֖ה הַבָּזָֽק׃
그 생물의 왕래가 번개 같이 빠르더라
Sefer Yetzirah
Concerning the number ten of the spheres of existence out of nothing keep thy tongue from speaking and thy mind from pondering on it, and if thy mouth urges thee to speak, and thy heart to think about it, return! as it reads: "And the living creatures ran and returned," (Ezekiel 1, 14) and upon this was the covenant made.

Idra Zuta
The three heads of Atika
Three heads were engraved within each other, that is, the concealed Chochmah within the skull, and above each other, that is, the unknowable head above the skull. He explains, one head is concealed Chochmah, which is covered and unopened. This concealed Chochmah is the head for every head of any other Chochmah. This is the first head going upward. The second head is the upper head, the most concealed Atika Kadisha. It is the skull of Arich Anpin. The third highest head is the beginning of every beginning, a head that is not a head. That is, a head denotes the beginning of expansion and comprehension; yet nothing of this head is comprehensible, because what is inside this head does not know, nor is it known, since it is attached to neither wisdom nor understanding. Hence it is called, “Therefore now flee to your place” (Bemidbar 24:11), “And the living creatures ran and returned” (Yechezkel 1:14), because it is incomprehensible.

Idra Zuta
The eyelashes do not subside, except when the white colors wish to gaze, for it is the eyelashes that give room for all the colors to look. If they do not give room, no color can behold and look. The eyelashes do not stand still, nor do they subside for a single moment. Instead, they open and close, close and open because of the open eye over them. Hence it is written, “And the living creatures ran and returned” (Yechezkel 1:14). I have already explained this.

Tikkunei Zohar
... Y’ י is the head of the bird. V’ ו is his body. H”H ה ה are the two wings, through which he flies upward and comes to rest below. And these two wings are two breaths, H”H, and concerning them it is said, “And the animals/chayot [bearing the divine chariot] ran and returned” [Ez 1:14], for these are Y”V: a breath leaves through Y’ י – a breath returns through V’

Tikkunei Zohar
R’ Eliezer said to him: Father, is it so above that they learned that there is no body/guf and no substance/g’viyah? He said to him: My son, about the coming world was it said, for that is an upper (i.e., purely immaterial) mother, but below there is the body of this world, which is the Shekhinah below.
