耶和华

神
主是爱本身，以智慧本身的形式表达。爱是他的本质，也是他的全部。智慧-对如何将爱付诸行动的热爱理解-稍微有点外在，为爱提供了一种表达自我的方式。 当圣经说“耶和华”时，它代表的是至高无上的爱，这是主的本质。那爱本身就是一个完整的整体，而爱也是一个，只适用于主的名字。然而，智慧表达在各种各样的思想和观念中，这些著作统称为神的真理。也有许多虚构的神，有时天使和人也可以被称为神（耶和华说摩西将成为亚伦的神）。因此，当圣经称上帝为“上帝”时，多数情况下是指神圣的真理。 在其他情况下，“上帝”指的是所谓的神圣人类。情况是这样的： 作为人类，我们不能直接将主作为上帝的爱来参与。它太强大了，太纯净了。相反，我们必须通过神圣的真理了解他来接近他。因此，神圣的真理是人类形式的主，这是我们可以接近和理解的形式。因此，“上帝”也被用来指代人类这一方面，因为它是真理的表达。
埃及
在圣经中，埃及的意思是知识和爱知识。从好的意义上说，这意味着通过《圣经》从主那里获得真理的知识，但从自然的意义上说，它只是意味着要储存和占有的世俗知识。而且即使是来自圣经的知识也不一定是好的：如果我们学习它们的目的是使它们有用，那么它们就充满了天使的思想。但如果只是为了认识事物或为了学问的名声而学习它们，那它们就是。 所以，埃及是一个你去学习东西的地方，但要想成为天国，你就必须摆脱无菌的 "知"，前往迦南地，在那里，知识充满了内心对善的渴望。 有趣的是，当约瑟统治埃及时，埃及是他父亲和兄弟的天堂。这说明，当一个人的内在心灵在学问之地统治的时候，可以学到很多有用的东西。但最终出现了一个不认识约瑟的法老，以色列子民就被奴役了。法老代表着外在的心灵；当它掌管的时候，知道的兴奋和自满会使内在的心灵沦为一种奴役。心灵--就像以色列子民一样--最终会从外在的表象中制造出砖头，或人为的假象。
天
"空气 "在《圣经》中代表了思想，但以一种非常笼统的方式--更像是我们感知思想的能力和我们倾向于思考的方式，而不是我们对具体事物的具体想法。 仔细想想，这也是有道理的。我们通过空气看到周围的世界，看到对应于理解。我们通过空气听到，而听觉对应着被教化和服从。鸟儿在空中飞翔，它们代表着具体的思想和观念。而呼吸本身--吸进空气，将氧气传递到血液中--代表着我们对真正的精神理念的理解。

父亲
父亲在话语中的意思是指最里面的东西，在那些遵从主的命令的事情上，是指好的东西。在最高的意义上，父亲是指主自己，是创造者。在自然儿女的生成中，是父亲提供灵魂或最内在的生命容器，以及一种内在的遗传，母亲则提供灵魂用来形成身体的所有物质，再加上一种外在的遗传。在这个过程中，灵魂通过父亲来自主，而不是来自父亲，因为所有的生命都来自主。 聪明的人称主为他的父亲，称教会为他的母亲，因为他内心的爱来自主，但通过教会所教导的真理得到了形式和实际。那些因此而生出的东西，就是一个人属灵的 "儿女"。 在新约中，当谈到耶稣和天父的时候，指的是外在的表现，里面有神圣的本身作为灵魂。因为耶稣是由一个天然的母亲所生，所以他有一个天然的身体和天然的犹太人的遗传。在他的一生中，当他受到地狱的诱惑时，他慢慢地把他从母亲那里得来的一切，换成了他自己里面的东西，即天父。这样做，他使自己与他内心的父合而为一，所以他可以真正地说："我和我的父是一体的"。

诫命
命令是指下达必须做某事的命令，是针对个人或团体的。这是一种命令，而不是建议。 指挥可以有两种方式，或者是出于两种不同的动机。它常常出现在一个组织中，用来强行执行组织工作所必需的命令，如企业、政府或军队，它可以是合法的，或者在家庭中被父母用来维持家庭的秩序。但也可能被一个喜欢权力的人利用，在通过某种方式得到权力后，喜欢把自己的意志强加给别人，以获得私欲的满足。 所以一个动机是爱用，或爱善，另一个动机是为了爱自己，或爱财物。 主从他无限的爱出发，给了人类诫命，因为他就是秩序本身，他知道我们的幸福到永远取决于我们接受他的创造秩序，而这最终是唯一存在的秩序。

坛
圣经中提到的第一个祭坛是挪亚从方舟中出来后所建造的。在那祭坛上，他把洁净的动物献给了耶和华。山代表着耶和华，因为山是高高在上，我们在与主 "说话 "的时候，必须把自己的思想抬高到属世的事物之上。祭坛是一座小小的人造山，但当用在敬拜的时候，就能唤起这种思想的升起，火和烟被送上来，象征性地送上主。祭坛大多是用未切割的石头做成的。石头代表真理，未被人塑造的石头代表真理，未被人塑造的石头代表来自于道的真理，未被掺杂的真理。清净的兽代表着善事，代表着因为正确而做的慈善行为，而清净的鸟代表着对教义和行为的思考，代表着什么是正确的。所以呈现这些东西，就是承认我们从主那里得到了这些东西，并为这些东西感谢祂。 在以色列人的会幕中，燔祭坛代表善的承认，香坛代表真理。因此，这个大一点的祭坛在门外，是用黄铜做的，代表自然的善，而香坛是用金子做的，代表对耶和华的爱，从耶和华那里来的是真理。

建筑
建造东西一般是指把各种比较简单的东西拼凑起来，做成一个有用的、比较复杂的结构，就像用木头或砖头盖房子一样，在圣经中通常是这样用的。在希拿地，人希望建造一座塔，在新约中耶稣建议聪明人要把房子建在石头上。但从代表意义上讲，意思是指建造一个精神和属灵的结构，就像教会的教义或灵性现实的个别概念在一个人的头脑中的个别概念。 建筑材料也是有代表性的。巴别塔是用砖头建造的，砖头是人造的石头，或者说是人造的 "真理"，也就是 "真理 "不是来自神，而是人想出来的属灵的想法。聪明人要建造的房子是建立在天然的或 "神所造 "的岩石上，也就是来自于道的真理。
