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。

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。

住
在圣经时代，特别是旧约时代，许多人都是游牧民族，他们住在帐篷里，可以快速地打点、移动和重新搭建。当然，还有一些人住在房子里，一般是用石头和木头做的，相当永久。介于这两者之间的是更大、更精致的帐篷式结构，称为帐棚或住所；摩西为约柜所建的帐棚就是以这种模式为基础。 那么，"住 "在某个地方，意义重大--它比单纯的参观要多得多--但却不如住在那里永久。而事实上，在《圣经》中，住在某处，代表着进入那种属灵的状态，并与之交往，但不一定是永久的。 同时，"住处 "代表着激发居住在其中的人的各种爱，从最邪恶的--例如以赛亚书第9章中的 "那些住在死亡阴影里的人"--到会幕本身的崇高状态，会幕是作为主的住处而建造的，代表着天堂的所有细节。

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。
