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。

后
按照瑞典博格的说法，时间和空间不存在于精神现实中，它们是纯粹的自然事物，只存在于物质层面。这就意味着，一个精神性的东西不可能在时间上的另一个精神性的东西 "之后 "发生，因为没有时间。而一个精神性的东西也不可能在空间上 "追随 "另一个精神性的东西，因为没有空间。 相反，灵性的现实是建立在灵性状态的基础上，或天使的爱和思想。这些爱和思想以因果链的方式连接在一起，天使们的体验就像我们体验时间一样；一个思想在精神层面上流向另一个思想，而天使们感觉到这种进步，就像我们感觉到一个时刻流向另一个时刻的进步一样。当天使有类似的思想和感觉时，他们体验到的亲近感和我们对肉体亲近感的体验是非常相同的；他们对 "空间 "的概念是整个精神世界中的灵魂所拥有的思想和情感的变化。 当《圣经》将某件事情描述为 "后边 "的东西时，那么，属灵的意义就与属灵状态的递进有关；它是在前边的东西基础上产生的新的属灵状态。由于较高的状态会流入较低的状态，所以 "之后 "的东西往往是较低的、较外在的状态。例如，内心深处对他人的善的渴望，会自动地流向具体的想法，即我们可以做的具体的善事。那么，这些具体的想法，就会 "在 "善的欲望之后。

建造
在圣经中，"建立 "其实有两个意思。当一个东西第一次被建造的时候，或者说是最典型的意义上的建造，它的意思是收集相对外在的思想，建立起一个教义体系--从某种意义上说，这是一个你可以使用或居住的结构。不过，在其他情况下，"建立 "是指已经被破坏的东西。例如，从战斗中留下的废墟，可以重新建造。在这些情况下，"建造 "指的是去除我们对邪恶的欲望，这样我们就可以开始一个新的灵性成长阶段。在这些情况下，"建立 "常常与 "兴起 "一起使用，意思是在同一过程中去除错误的思维方式。

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。
