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。

亚伯拉罕
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)。...

天
天堂是天上的和精神的东西。因此，它们是至高无上的东西，无论是天国还是地下世界的主国。这也指的是教会以及作为上帝王国或“教会”的每个人。因此，天堂表示与爱与慈善有关的所有事物，以及根植于其中的信仰，以及与内部崇拜有关的所有事物。它们以类似的方式表示与道的内在意义有关的所有事物。所有这些东西都是天堂，被称为“耶和华的宝座”。 如启示录21：1所述，“逝去的前天”象征着精神世界中那些仅在外在或表面上有好处的人们的社会。

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。
