創造
创世记第一章中天地的创造意味着天体教会的新创造,即“人”。
天
"空气 "在《圣经》中代表了思想,但以一种非常笼统的方式--更像是我们感知思想的能力和我们倾向于思考的方式,而不是我们对具体事物的具体想法。 仔细想想,这也是有道理的。我们通过空气看到周围的世界,看到对应于理解。我们通过空气听到,而听觉对应着被教化和服从。鸟儿在空中飞翔,它们代表着具体的思想和观念。而呼吸本身--吸进空气,将氧气传递到血液中--代表着我们对真正的精神理念的理解。
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。
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)...

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。
