进入
圣经中所有地方的变化都代表着灵性状态的变化。"进入"--通常用于进入别人的房子或 "进入 "某人--特别是指采用一种与别人相适应的精神状态，以便与他们交流或与他们结合。这一点很容易看出，一个男人 "进入 "一个女人，有点像圣经中对身体关系的委婉说法。 从更广泛的意义上说，我们生命中所经历的所有属灵变化都涉及到 "进 "和 "出"，所以当《圣经》使用 "进去和出来 "这句话时，象征着一个人的整个属灵生命。

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。

肉
肉体有几种含义，只是在最明显的形式上。它可以指所有的活物，就像主说到洪水 "毁灭一切肉体 "一样。创世记7:21)，也可以指全人类(创世记6:3)，也可以是指柔软和屈服的东西，如用肉心代替石心(以西结书11:19)但在精神上，它的意思是指住在一个人的意志中的爱，似乎属于这个人，成为那个人。这个人可能是一个还没有开始重生(或永远不会重生)的人，也可能是一个正在重生过程中的人，也可能是一个快要结束的人。在最高的意义上，肉体是指在主的旨意中的爱，是神圣的。这个意思在主在约翰福音中的话中很清楚(约翰福音6:53-56) 每个人都有这样一个爱的包裹，它可以很恶，可以很杂，也可以很好，就像同样，每个人都有肉体一样。我们在生活的时候，属灵的工作就是要把这个包裹，一次一次的感情从坏变好。如果我们努力做到这一点，主就会帮助我们 当我们开始的时候，我们的爱是自私的，在灵性上我们是死的，就像以西结看到的骨头一样，但是当我们坚持离弃恶行的时候，主就会使骨头被收拢，肉体降临在骨头上，柔软而有爱，我们就会用新的向外转的爱来代替旧的自私的爱而活过来。 所以，"肉体 "的意义可以从我们原来的意志，在我们的唆使下，在主的帮助下，一块一块地被拆解，最终变成新的意志，取代它。这就是为什么在以色列教会的一些祭祀中，肉体要被烧掉，而在另一些祭祀中，肉体可以被祭司吃掉。代表旧的原始意志的被烧掉，但可以吃的代表新的意志。
