亞倫
亚伦是摩西的兄弟。他象征着两件事，一是在出埃及记的前半部分，他是摩西的代言人，二是在大帐幕建成后，他被任命为大祭司之后。 在故事的第一部分中，摩西代表了道的真实面目，就像在天上所理解的那样，而亚伦则代表了道的外在意义，就像人在世上所理解的那样。这就是为什么他为摩西说话，耶和华对他说："他要为你们作口，你们也要对他作神。"(出埃及记 4:16). 后来，当亚伦穿上他的礼服时（见利未记各章 8, 9他被任命为以色列的大祭司。在这个角色中，亚伦代表耶和华，代表神的善，而摩西代表耶和华，代表神的真理。

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。

回來
在《圣经》中，有很多描述人回头看、回头看或回去的例子。在大多数情况下，这是一种消极的，有时是毁灭性的（就像罗得的妻子，当她回望所多玛的毁灭时，变成了一根盐柱子）。一般情况下，这代表着我们的状态，当我们进入到一个新的精神境界，发现自己希望得到旧的安逸和轻松时，回去代表着回到更早的低级阶段。 当 "回 "与物联系在一起的时候，"回 "的意义更多的是字面意义。当有人拿东西回来或给东西时，其精神意义大多是以物与行为人为中心。

後
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。

黑暗
“黑暗”是没有光的状态。 “光”是来自主的真理，因此“黑暗”代表了缺乏真理的状态。 这是来自Arcana Coelestia的令人信服的文章： “尚未再生的人被称为'虚无而空的地球'，也被称为'地面'，其中根本没有播种任何善良或真理-'void'在没有善良的情况下，'empty' “那里没有真理。因此，存在着“深沉的黑暗”，愚蠢和缺乏对与对主的信仰以及与灵性和天体生活有关的任何事物的知识。 （天国的秘密17）...

天
天堂是天上的和精神的东西。因此，它们是至高无上的东西，无论是天国还是地下世界的主国。这也指的是教会以及作为上帝王国或“教会”的每个人。因此，天堂表示与爱与慈善有关的所有事物，以及根植于其中的信仰，以及与内部崇拜有关的所有事物。它们以类似的方式表示与道的内在意义有关的所有事物。所有这些东西都是天堂，被称为“耶和华的宝座”。 如启示录21：1所述，“逝去的前天”象征着精神世界中那些仅在外在或表面上有好处的人们的社会。

光
1879年11月4日托马斯-爱迪生申请了一项长烧灯泡的专利。 1879年11月5日灯泡作为一种思想的象征被普遍接受。 好吧，这句话是我们编的，但漫画家至少从20世纪20年代就开始用灯泡作为符号了，通俗的语言中就有光与思想的联系：当人们理解了某件事情时，就会 "看到了光"；当我们试图通过给一个疑难的问题带来新的思考，来 "点亮 "它；当人们得到新的信息或对某件事情有了更完整的理解时，就会 "开悟"。 因此，《圣经》中的 "光 "在最高的意义上代表着神圣的真理：知识、思想、观念、理解，这些都是从主而来的。在较小的程度上--灯的光、月亮的光等等--它代表了更低级的真理、思想和理解，这些真理、思想和理解来自于更多的世俗的来源。 这一点的基础在于，太阳代表着主，它的热代表着主的爱，它的光代表着主的智慧。这种智慧以真理的形式进入我们的生活，进入我们的生活，这些东西我们可以知道和思考，引导我们，帮助我们成为好人。
