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。
建造
在圣经中,"建立 "其实有两个意思。当一个东西第一次被建造的时候,或者说是最典型的意义上的建造,它的意思是收集相对外在的思想,建立起一个教义体系--从某种意义上说,这是一个你可以使用或居住的结构。不过,在其他情况下,"建立 "是指已经被破坏的东西。例如,从战斗中留下的废墟,可以重新建造。在这些情况下,"建造 "指的是去除我们对邪恶的欲望,这样我们就可以开始一个新的灵性成长阶段。在这些情况下,"建立 "常常与 "兴起 "一起使用,意思是在同一过程中去除错误的思维方式。
