父亲
父亲在话语中的意思是指最里面的东西,在那些遵从主的命令的事情上,是指好的东西。在最高的意义上,父亲是指主自己,是创造者。在自然儿女的生成中,是父亲提供灵魂或最内在的生命容器,以及一种内在的遗传,母亲则提供灵魂用来形成身体的所有物质,再加上一种外在的遗传。在这个过程中,灵魂通过父亲来自主,而不是来自父亲,因为所有的生命都来自主。 聪明的人称主为他的父亲,称教会为他的母亲,因为他内心的爱来自主,但通过教会所教导的真理得到了形式和实际。那些因此而生出的东西,就是一个人属灵的 "儿女"。 在新约中,当谈到耶稣和天父的时候,指的是外在的表现,里面有神圣的本身作为灵魂。因为耶稣是由一个天然的母亲所生,所以他有一个天然的身体和天然的犹太人的遗传。在他的一生中,当他受到地狱的诱惑时,他慢慢地把他从母亲那里得来的一切,换成了他自己里面的东西,即天父。这样做,他使自己与他内心的父合而为一,所以他可以真正地说:"我和我的父是一体的"。

叫
在《圣经》中召见某人或召唤某人,代表了一种对高低生活状态之间结合的渴望。例如,想象一个处于相对外在知识状态的人--一个在外在层面上对世界和事物如何运作了解很多的人--对更深层、更属灵的思想产生了兴趣,并寻求一个对属灵事物有了解的老师或导师。这种寻求在《圣经》中可能被描述为 "呼召"。 呼唤也可以是处于较高状态的人向处于较低状态的人发出的我--当然主呼唤人的时候也是如此。

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。

伯特利
当雅各做了一个著名的梦,梦见一个通向天堂的楼梯,他给这个地方起了个名字叫 "贝瑟尔",希伯来语的意思是 "上帝的家" 这个字面的意义反映在属灵的意义上。书中告诉我们,"贝瑟尔 "代表了我们对主神圣的爱的认识和理解,那是他对我们所有人的完美的爱,那是他的本质。当我们知道了主的爱,对主的爱有了一定的了解,那就使它在我们里面有了一个 "房子",让它在我们里面生长,影响我们自己的爱。 在旧约中,"贝瑟尔 "在后来的《旧约》中有相反的含义,在耶罗波安在那里设立金牛犊,使之成为偶像崇拜的中心之后。然后,它代表了从邪爱中产生的崇拜。
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。

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)。...

早
由于太阳代表着主,所以清晨和日出代表着一种开悟的状态,在经历了一段黑暗之后,会有新的清晰的认识。 在现代生活中,这种表现方式有很多。首先,长期以来的传统是将教堂的圣殿设在东方,朝向初升的太阳。人们在努力解决一个问题时,往往会决定 "睡一觉",期待明天早上答案会更清晰。而我们其实用 "黎明 "作为动词,表示突然的开悟。"当他盯着窗外看时,他恍然大悟,答案一直在他手中。"
