亞倫
亚伦是摩西的兄弟。他象征着两件事，一是在出埃及记的前半部分，他是摩西的代言人，二是在大帐幕建成后，他被任命为大祭司之后。 在故事的第一部分中，摩西代表了道的真实面目，就像在天上所理解的那样，而亚伦则代表了道的外在意义，就像人在世上所理解的那样。这就是为什么他为摩西说话，耶和华对他说："他要为你们作口，你们也要对他作神。"(出埃及记 4:16). 后来，当亚伦穿上他的礼服时（见利未记各章 8, 9他被任命为以色列的大祭司。在这个角色中，亚伦代表耶和华，代表神的善，而摩西代表耶和华，代表神的真理。

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。

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。
