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。

亞伯拉罕
亚伯拉罕（或称亚伯兰，在故事的开头就有他的名字）是圣经故事中的主要人物之一。他是所有以色列子孙的祖先，通过他的儿子以撒，是所有以色列人的祖先，通过他的儿子以实玛利，是阿拉伯人的祖先。他的一生可分为三个时期。第一个时期包括从他在乌尔出生的不为人知的早年，以及后来随父亲他的父亲他拉搬到哈兰。第二部分从亚伯兰被耶和华呼召去迦南开始。它包括他在那里的冒险经历，一直到创世记第17章的事件，据说他已经99岁了，有钱有势--但他的妻子撒莱没有儿子。耶和华再一次向他显现，应许他的子孙要成为大国，举行割礼，并将他的名字改成亚伯拉罕，加上耶和华的 "啊 "声。在他生命中的第三个时期，也是最后一个时期，以撒的出生，撒拉的死（他的名字也被改了），以及从亚伯拉罕在美索不达米亚的亲戚中为以撒找到了妻子。 据说亚伯拉罕死的时候已经175岁了，正如创世记第25章所记载的那样。 但是，我们在这里感兴趣的是亚伯拉罕的深层代表，因为他预言或预示了耶稣在亚伯拉罕在地上生活了几个世纪之后，他为马利亚所生后的生命的最深处。亚伯拉罕代表了神的善或爱。道的内在意义告诉我们，神亲自将生命提供给马利亚体内的卵子，使她能提供一个自然的身体和犹太教的自然遗传，而耶稣的灵魂则作为神性生命的直接拥有者被保留下来。在耶稣的早期生活中，大概到青少年时期，耶稣在他的思想和精神的内心深处，活出了亚伯拉罕的那些有代表性的行为。亚伯拉罕在放牧羊群和管理他的大户人家时，根本不知道这是真的，在耶稣的生命早期，他也没有意识到这一点。随着耶稣的成长，一定有一些感悟，见证他12岁时去圣殿，但直到他完全长大后才完全明白。 再进一步说，不只是亚伯拉罕。 当亚伯拉罕死后，代表的是以撒，他代表着理性的心灵层面，然后是雅各和以扫，他们分别代表着自然的心灵，在心灵中的真和善。 然后，十二支派的试炼，诸王的试炼，以及所有先知的话语，都成为同样的代表。因此，耶稣可以对他在去以马忤斯路上遇到的两个门徒说："愚昧的人啊，心思迟钝的人啊..........从摩西和所有的先知开始，他在所有的经文中向他们阐述了所有关于他自己的事。" 此外，我们每一个人的精神和属灵生活的进步，都是亚伯拉罕生命中所代表的微弱而有限的形象，如果我们努力遵守主的律法和戒律，彼此相爱的话。我们的内心深处也有前往迦南地的旅程，有在埃及勤劳的安居乐业，有在旷野的挣扎，也有扫罗、大卫和亚哈。 我们有自家的亚玛力人，也有非利士人。整个旧约圣经中，都是我们属灵生活的写照。 (以下是按时间顺序，随着亚伯兰/亚伯拉罕年龄的增长，按圣经的顺序排列)。...

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。
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。

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）。

建造
建造东西一般是指把各种比较简单的东西拼凑起来，做成一个有用的、比较复杂的结构，就像用木头或砖头盖房子一样，在圣经中通常是这样用的。在希拿地，人希望建造一座塔，在新约中耶稣建议聪明人要把房子建在石头上。但从代表意义上讲，意思是指建造一个精神和属灵的结构，就像教会的教义或灵性现实的个别概念在一个人的头脑中的个别概念。 建筑材料也是有代表性的。巴别塔是用砖头建造的，砖头是人造的石头，或者说是人造的 "真理"，也就是 "真理 "不是来自神，而是人想出来的属灵的想法。聪明人要建造的房子是建立在天然的或 "神所造 "的岩石上，也就是来自于道的真理。

回答
一般来说，"回答 "是指一种属灵的接受状态。归根结底，这意味着接受主，主不断地试图将真正的想法和美好的愿望灌输到我们的心灵和思想中。它也可以是在我们的外在部分接受自己的内在部分的引导--承诺使我们的行动跟随我们更深的信仰。 在圣经中，"回答 "经常与 "说 "搭配在一起。在这些情况下，一般来说，它表示的是一种感知的程度加上接受的程度。这意味着你不仅能接受从主那里临到你的东西，而且还能看到它，认识到其中的真理，并认识到这里面的真理，这将使你的生活更加美好。

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。
