Tiqqune Zohar, 18, 31b

Jewish Mysticism
The Shekhinah is the image (dimyon) and appearance (mar’eh) of everything. The image as it is said, “And through the prophets I was imaged” (Hosea 12-11), Concerning her it is said “he beheld the likeness of the Lord” (Num. 12-8). She is called image (dimyon) for all the aspects [seen by] the prophets (parsufin di-nevi’ei ) are inscribed within her. And she is called vision (mar’eh) for all the lights which are above her are seen through her, as it is written, “I make Myself known to him in a vision” (Num. 12-6)… She rides upon the four beasts which include the face of a man, the face of a lion, the face of an ox, and the face of an eagle. To the one who is a human she appears in human form, and to the one who is like the other beasts she appears in the form of the beasts of the throne, to each one in accordance with his capacity (le-khol had ke-fum heileih).
