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。

父亲
孕育或被孕育与出生的意义非常相似。它代表一种精神状态，通往下一个精神状态。然而，"Beget "一般与父亲的身份和男人在生育中的角色有关，而生孩子和生育则完全是女人的事情。这就导致了一些深层次的意义。因为男人典型地代表着真正的思想，女人代表着美好的情感，所以 "生养 "往往说明思想可以引导我们去做善事，而 "生养 "往往说明美好的情感可以引导我们去做真正的思想。但这是一条模糊的线，受语境影响，有时还受翻译问题的影响。 事实上，最著名的 "孕育"--耶稣作为上帝的 "独生子 "的地位--与这一模式背道而驰。上帝的本质是完美的、神圣的爱，以完美的、神圣的真理的形式表达出来。在 "孕育 "耶稣的时候，他把自己神圣的真理--他神圣的表现形式--以人的形式，以人的肉体，给了他自己神圣的真理。所以，这就是爱孕育了真理。
