当雅各做了一个著名的梦，梦见一个通向天堂的楼梯，他给这个地方起了个名字叫 "贝瑟尔"，希伯来语的意思是 "上帝的家" 这个字面的意义反映在属灵的意义上。书中告诉我们，"贝瑟尔 "代表了我们对主神圣的爱的认识和理解，那是他对我们所有人的完美的爱，那是他的本质。当我们知道了主的爱，对主的爱有了一定的了解，那就使它在我们里面有了一个 "房子"，让它在我们里面生长，影响我们自己的爱。 在旧约中，"贝瑟尔 "在后来的《旧约》中有相反的含义，在耶罗波安在那里设立金牛犊，使之成为偶像崇拜的中心之后。然后，它代表了从邪爱中产生的崇拜。

土地
圣经中的“地球”可以表示一个人或一群志同道合的人，就像在教堂里一样。但是它专门指的是人的思想外部或群体的一般思想。如果天堂和大地同时被提及，那么心灵的内在和外在都是有意思的-阅读创作故事时要注意的事情。 “地球”是一个通用词，可以看作是其他特定词（如地面，田野或花园）的容器。当他们从圣经中学习真理，思考问题并试图将其应用于生活中时，这些都意味着一个升序的人。该系列作品代表了成为美好和明智的方式。 “地球”和“地面”是可以双向使用的术语，例如在撒种的寓言中（马太福音13:4-8）既有好的地面又有坏的地面，但是“田野”和“花园”是指头脑正在向美好的方向再生。 在《启示录》中，“地球”一词既被用作地面，因为我们以其自然意义使用它，也被用作群体的意义。本书中的动作发生在精神世界的中部地区，人们首先去过那里，他们被整理了出来。那里既有邪恶的人，也有善良的人，有时在教堂的尽头，邪恶会在做出伟大的判断之前产生巨大的影响。这种精神境界的水平被称为“地球”，巨龙被降落在该“地球”上（启12:9），而星辰掉落在其上（启12:4）。吞没巨龙洪水的“地球”是指教会中那些仍然诚恳的人，他们轻视巨龙的虚假洪水（启12:15）。

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。
