Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. (Exodus 33:11)
But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” (Exodus 33:20)
And Jacob saw the face of God and lived yet God said no one sees his face and lives. This is confusing if your understanding is literal. This is a mystical truth. When you see the Creator face to face you must die to yourself. Die to your mind , will emotions, body and spirit. You are a triune being made up of spirit, soul and body. When you die to yourself this becomes God's spirit, soul and body. You become the habitation of God. Thus it is not you who lives but God who lives through you. For this to happen , you must stop the resistance (fight) and take yield (take the limp). This was Jacob's dark night of the soul where he was forced to spiritual awaken and mature into Israel. From a human being to a Spirit being. From solid to gaseous. That is why Israel is ascended in the Spirit. True Israelites are spiritually awakened and ascended people who live from mystical truths. Torah is the agent of transformation that carries the wisdom of transforming from human beings to spiritual beings. But it doesn't stop there you need the Messiah to give you grace for the next level of transformation.
