The Four Faced God is Brahma, the Creator God.

(Not to be confused with Bhraman)

Brahma is the Monad, the One before the Two. Brahma creates the manifest reality that we experience. Brahma creates the Universe through the Law of Karma (cause and effect) which means delivering the lessons we need in order to turn us inward to our Heart so that we can remember who we Truly are. From an egoic perspective the Creator God can seem fearful because we often don't like the life lessons Brahma creates for us, but once you come to understand the nature of Brahma's Creation, then you see that Life is being created full of lessons to help us deepen our connection to Source and find our Way back Home.

The Upanishads are a really beautiful text that speaks a lot about the nature of Brahma. (I really like the Juan Cole translation.)

The Creator God is represented in all Ancient Spiritualities. In Egypt, Thoth is the Creator God.. In Greece it was Hermes. In the old testament it is Enoch and Archangel Metatron. The Lord of the Old Testament is also the Creator God. The Holy Spirit is the Creator God. Also Apollo, Mercury, and the Dove that preceded Jesus when he was baptized.

The Emerald Tablets of Thoth would be a really beautiful text for this stage of your Journey as it is a really powerful and concise teaching about the nature of the Creator God.

Being gifted a vision of the Creator God means that you are moving beyond duality to the substrate of Creation. Investigation into Sacred Geometry can be helpful for this phase. Consider drawing Metatron's Cube and learning how the Platonic Solids emerge from within the Shape. The Torus would be a really powerful shape to ponder as well.

Wishing you peace and love on your Journey 💜

Here is an Alex Grey visionary art painting of the Four Faced God.

And here is a Temple to the Four Faced God in the ancient ruins near Angkor Wat in Cambodia

Look within. A good book to read is The Upanishads (the Penguin classics version) translated by Juan Mascaro.
