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。

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。

建立
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。

战争
道上的战争代表着试探性的战斗，当善的东西被恶的或假的东西攻击时。攻击的邪恶来自于地狱的众多社会中的一个，它的运作方式是唤起我们心中的自私的爱，而这种爱是与我们所知道的正确的东西相反的。然后，我们自私的爱攻击滋养着希望成为一个好人的爱，于是我们的心中就有了战争。这以以色列人的子民在迦南地及其周围的战争为代表，在旧约圣经中有很长的历史。自私的爱从我们的遗传中在我们的心中泛滥成灾，而善良的爱随着我们的良知的发展而长久地伴随着我们的良心而来。如果我们没有良知，我们就不可能受诱惑，我们会立刻顺着私心的意愿而屈服。但最终的结果是，我们会被地狱所奴役，为所欲为。

恐惧
对未知的恐惧和对变化的恐惧都是一种常见的观念，共同涵盖了我们在自然生活中容易产生的恐惧的广泛范围。从某种意义上说，当《圣经》中的人被描述为 "害怕 "时，它们的背后也蕴含着灵性的意义。 根据《文集》的描述，当一种更高尚、更内在的属灵状态与一种更低级、更外在的属灵状态沟通时，人们就会感到恐惧，并表明这种状态需要被改造和提升。圣诞故事中的牧羊人就是如此，当天使来告诉他们一个全新的属灵时代时，他们的第一反应是恐惧。摩西在燃烧的灌木丛中，雅各在看到梯子的异象后，甚至门徒看到耶稣在加利利海上行走，都是如此--在这些情况下，一个更高的状态正在向他们伸出手来，要求他们接受属灵生命的新阶段。 这在更消极的意义上也是如此，当邪恶和错误的思想状态接触到精神上的东西，感觉到自己的悲惨的启示的威胁时，也是如此。 圣经》也经常讲到人敬畏神，这是一个相关但不同的想法，其他地方也有涉及。
