门
从一般意义上讲,《圣经》中的门代表了人们最初的向善欲望和对真理的概念,将人们的爱和理解引入新的层次,甚至是主自己。 不过根据背景,有很多具体的内容。因为 "房子 "代表了一个人的欲望、情感和激情,门的作用是引入真正的想法,可以把这些欲望付诸行动。在更广泛的情况下,门是通向天堂本身的。 而在某些情况下,其含义被带到了一个非常具体的层面。例如,圣经时代的住宅往往有内门和外门来保护。创世记19章中,当罗得试图说服所多玛的人不要调戏探望他的天使时,他其实是去了内门外,但却留在了外门内。外门代表着对善的渴望,对所多玛男人所代表的虚假有抵抗力;内门代表着从善的渴望中涌现出来的真实想法。培养善的欲望的人可以从第一道门进入,但在从第二道门进入之前,必须学习如何表达这种欲望的真理。 提到门柱和门楣,也要区分介绍性商品和介绍性真理。
