神
主は愛そのものであり、知恵そのものの形で表現されます。それから、愛は彼の本質であり、彼の最深部です。知恵-愛を行動に移す方法についての愛情のある理解-はわずかに外的であり、愛に自分自身を表現する方法を与えます。 聖書が「エホバ」について語るとき、それは主の本質である最も深い愛を表しています。その愛はそれ自体で一つの完全で完全なものであり、エホバもまた一つであり、主にのみ適用される名前です。しかし、知恵は、著作がまとめて神の真実と呼ぶ、非常に多様な思考とアイデアで表現されます。また、多くの想像上の神がいます、そして時々天使と人々は神と呼ばれることができます（主はモーセがアーロンにとって神であると言った）。ですから、聖書が主を「神」と呼ぶとき、ほとんどの場合、それは神の真理を指します。 他の場合、「神」は神の人間と呼ばれるものに言及しています。これがある場合： 人間として、私たちは神の愛として主に直接関わることはできません。強力すぎて純粋すぎます。代わりに、神の真理を通して神を理解することによって、神にアプローチしなければなりません。神の真理は、人間の形の主であり、私たちがアプローチし理解できる形です。したがって、「神」は、この人間的側面に関しても使用されます。なぜなら、それは真実の表現だからです。

光
1879年11月4日トーマス・エジソンが長寿命電球の特許を出願。 1879年11月5日電球はアイデアのシンボルとして普遍的に受け入れられました。 人は何かを理解したときに「光を見る」、私たちは難しい問題に新しい考えを持ち込むことで「光を当てる」、人は新しい情報を得たり、何かをより完全に理解したときに「悟りを開く」のである。 ですから、最高の意味での聖書の「光」とは、神の真理、すなわち、主から私たちに与えられた知識、アイデア、理解を表していると考えるのが理にかなっています。灯りの光、月の光などのように、より低いレベルでは、より地上的な源から引き出された、より低いレベルの真理、考え、理解を表しています。 その根拠は、太陽が主を表し、その熱は主の愛を、その光は主の知恵を表しているという事実にあります。その知恵は私たちのところに来て、真理の形で私たちの人生に入ってきます。

怒り
怒りは、それが定義を必要としないほど、人々にとって非常に一般的な感情です。しかし、興味のある点をいくつか挙げることができます。 1) 主は決して怒られません。怒りが主に帰するのは、この言葉が人間に意味を持たせるために書かれているからであり、人間が悪であるときには、主は怒るべきであるかのように思えるからです。そして、そのように考えることは人を傷つけることではありません。また、悪人が自分の計画がうまくいかない時に、主に怒りを感じて、それが返ってくると思っています。 2) 熱意はしばしば怒りのように見えますが、そうではなく、悪い動機ではなく、良い動機から来ています。怒りは利己的な愛が妨げられたり、攻撃されたりしたときに人に現れますが、熱意は善良な愛や価値ある真理が妨げられたり、攻撃されたりしたときに人に現れます。悪魔やサタンは怒りを感じ、それをよく感じ、攻撃しようとします。天使は熱意を感じ、しばしばそれを感じ、守ろうとすることがあります。
