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）。

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。
