建立
在圣经中，"建立 "其实有两个意思。当一个东西第一次被建造的时候，或者说是最典型的意义上的建造，它的意思是收集相对外在的思想，建立起一个教义体系--从某种意义上说，这是一个你可以使用或居住的结构。不过，在其他情况下，"建立 "是指已经被破坏的东西。例如，从战斗中留下的废墟，可以重新建造。在这些情况下，"建造 "指的是去除我们对邪恶的欲望，这样我们就可以开始一个新的灵性成长阶段。在这些情况下，"建立 "常常与 "兴起 "一起使用，意思是在同一过程中去除错误的思维方式。

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。

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。
天
"空气 "在《圣经》中代表了思想，但以一种非常笼统的方式--更像是我们感知思想的能力和我们倾向于思考的方式，而不是我们对具体事物的具体想法。 仔细想想，这也是有道理的。我们通过空气看到周围的世界，看到对应于理解。我们通过空气听到，而听觉对应着被教化和服从。鸟儿在空中飞翔，它们代表着具体的思想和观念。而呼吸本身--吸进空气，将氧气传递到血液中--代表着我们对真正的精神理念的理解。
