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。

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。

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。

戰爭
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。

骨
骨头是强壮和支撑性的，为我们的身体提供了一个框架，使运动和行动成为可能。它们也是我们身体中最没有 "生命力 "的部分，它们的大部分结构是由矿物基质构成的。因此，它们代表着我们的精神构成中一个强大的、支持性的、功能性的、但天生近乎于死亡的部分：文字中所说的 "本体"。 本体是我们中感觉到生命是我们自己的一部分，感觉到我们的爱和我们的思想来自于我们自己。这是做人的一个重要而有力的方面；因为它，我们要承担起改革自己的思想和指导自己行动的责任，并感到有能力接近主。这就是 "强大的、支持性的功能 "的部分。但这种自我感觉也是错误的、受骗的，因为事实是，我们的生命来自于主，主是我们爱和思想的源头。这就是 "先天近乎死亡 "的部分。 如果我们只是跟随本体而不仰望主，就会把我们引向地狱般的境界，在这种境界中，我们认为自己是万能的，完全否定了主的存在。骨头，靠着自己的力量，会变得干枯，变脆，完全死亡。然而，如果我们承认主并跟随他，就像在骨头上装上肉，就像在骨头上装上了肉，就有了生命。在这种情况下，骨头--强壮、支持、保护、保护，并尽可能地活着--就代表了本体与智力的关系，也就是我们中把自己的思想视为自己的那部分，但又把它们转向主的那部分。骨头上的肉代表了本体的爱的一面，那部分人把我们的欲望当作自己的欲望，但又利用骨头提供的结构来服侍主。

火
火，在精神意义上，根据上下文，既可以意味着爱，也可以意味着恨，就像自然之火既可以让你感到舒适，让你感到温暖，也可以让你感到害怕，让你的房子烧毁。我们的语言也反映了这一点--我们使用的概念，比如燃烧的仇恨或燃烧的爱。所以，火就是爱，要么是对邻居和对主的爱，要么，在不好的意义上，是对自己的爱，如果不受良心的约束，会导致对任何反对它的人的仇恨。
