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。
