吃
当我们吃东西的时候，我们的身体会分解食物，并从中获得能量和建造和修复身体的材料。 这个过程在《圣经》的象征层面上是大同小异的。食物代表着对美好的渴望，以及从这种对美好的渴望中产生的洞察力--来自于主的善意和理解。但要把它们用起来，我们必须把它们收进来，变成我们自己的--这就是属灵的饮食。

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。

回答
一般来说，"回答 "是指一种属灵的接受状态。归根结底，这意味着接受主，主不断地试图将真正的想法和美好的愿望灌输到我们的心灵和思想中。它也可以是在我们的外在部分接受自己的内在部分的引导--承诺使我们的行动跟随我们更深的信仰。 在圣经中，"回答 "经常与 "说 "搭配在一起。在这些情况下，一般来说，它表示的是一种感知的程度加上接受的程度。这意味着你不仅能接受从主那里临到你的东西，而且还能看到它，认识到其中的真理，并认识到这里面的真理，这将使你的生活更加美好。
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。

叫
在《圣经》中召见某人或召唤某人，代表了一种对高低生活状态之间结合的渴望。例如，想象一个处于相对外在知识状态的人--一个在外在层面上对世界和事物如何运作了解很多的人--对更深层、更属灵的思想产生了兴趣，并寻求一个对属灵事物有了解的老师或导师。这种寻求在《圣经》中可能被描述为 "呼召"。 呼唤也可以是处于较高状态的人向处于较低状态的人发出的我--当然主呼唤人的时候也是如此。

长子
当《圣经》谈到世代或出生顺序时，其内在的意义与灵性状态的进展和它们的相对重要性有关。那么，长子将是第一个、领先的灵性状态，为所有后续的灵性状态奠定基础。 当然，归根结底，所有的精神状态都有其源头，那就是来自于主的完美的、无限的爱，所以在最深的层面上，这种爱--主本身的本质--就是指 "长子"。在某种程度上，主的爱也是自然层面上的终极 "长子"；我们可以通过不计其数的世代和亿万年的演化，清晰地追溯到创世本身的那一刻，将孩子追溯到父母。既然创造来自于主爱的无限能量，那么从某种程度上来说，他也就成了自然界的长子。 不过，圣经中大多数对 "长子 "的使用并不是在这个终极层面上，它们是指一个人或一个教会的 "长子"。这大致可分为两类。如果这个人或那个教会是属天的，它的 "长子 "就会在某个层面上有向善的愿望，从较低层面的服侍别人的愿望到最高层面的爱主。这个人或那个教会的所有方面都会从这个初生的爱中逐步流露出来。如果这个人或那个教会在本质上是属灵的--在生命的过程中和现代世界中更为常见--那么第一胎将是对什么是好的理解，对主和主的愿望的认识。那个人或那个教会的所有方面都将从这种深刻的理解中流露出来，在瑞典堡中通常被称为 "信仰"。这是《圣经》中 "长子 "最常见的意思。
玛拿西
'Manasseh' signifies the will of the spiritual church.
以法莲
以法莲是约瑟在埃及所生的第二个儿子，和他的哥哥玛拿西一起，被雅各提升到和约瑟的兄弟们一样的地位。因此，当以色列各支派被命名时，以法莲和玛拿西与他们的叔父--流便、西缅、利未、犹大、但、拿弗他利、迦得、亚设、以萨迦、西布伦和便雅悯--一起被列为族长，但约瑟却没有。 根据瑞典堡的说法，以法莲代表教会的智力方面，即探索和理解真实的部分--特别是可以从圣经中得出的真实想法。同时，玛拿西代表了教会的情感方面，即感受、爱和关心的部分。 这就演变成以法莲一生中最著名的故事。雅各老了，快死的时候，约瑟带着他的两个儿子来受祝福。他把玛拿西作为长子送给雅各的右手，把以法莲送给雅各的左手。但雅各双手交叉，把主要的祝福给了以法莲。 按照瑞典堡的说法，玛拿西是长子，因为归根结底，我们所爱的东西使我们成为我们自己，我们的爱形成了我们的生命。所以，我们的爱是我们人类存在的最核心、最主要的方面，我们的智力是次要的角色。但是随着我们的发展，我们需要扭转这些。我们可以用我们的智力去理解什么是好的、正确的，并强迫自己去做，即使我们的欲望是为了自私的东西。如果我们出于跟随主、做好人的决心而坚持这样做，主最终会把我们心中的私心去除，让我们真正爱上善的东西。主让雅各在玛拿西之上祝福以法莲，就是在告诉我们，我们要追求属灵的旅程，必须把智慧放在第一位。
