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。

回來
在《圣经》中，有很多描述人回头看、回头看或回去的例子。在大多数情况下，这是一种消极的，有时是毁灭性的（就像罗得的妻子，当她回望所多玛的毁灭时，变成了一根盐柱子）。一般情况下，这代表着我们的状态，当我们进入到一个新的精神境界，发现自己希望得到旧的安逸和轻松时，回去代表着回到更早的低级阶段。 当 "回 "与物联系在一起的时候，"回 "的意义更多的是字面意义。当有人拿东西回来或给东西时，其精神意义大多是以物与行为人为中心。

壇
圣经中提到的第一个祭坛是挪亚从方舟中出来后所建造的。在那祭坛上，他把洁净的动物献给了耶和华。山代表着耶和华，因为山是高高在上，我们在与主 "说话 "的时候，必须把自己的思想抬高到属世的事物之上。祭坛是一座小小的人造山，但当用在敬拜的时候，就能唤起这种思想的升起，火和烟被送上来，象征性地送上主。祭坛大多是用未切割的石头做成的。石头代表真理，未被人塑造的石头代表真理，未被人塑造的石头代表来自于道的真理，未被掺杂的真理。清净的兽代表着善事，代表着因为正确而做的慈善行为，而清净的鸟代表着对教义和行为的思考，代表着什么是正确的。所以呈现这些东西，就是承认我们从主那里得到了这些东西，并为这些东西感谢祂。 在以色列人的会幕中，燔祭坛代表善的承认，香坛代表真理。因此，这个大一点的祭坛在门外，是用黄铜做的，代表自然的善，而香坛是用金子做的，代表对耶和华的爱，从耶和华那里来的是真理。
