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。

建てる
聖書の中の「建てる」という言葉には、本当に二つの意味があります。初めて何かを建てようとしているとき、あるいは最も典型的な意味で建てようとしているときは、比較的外的な考えを集めて教義体系を構築することを意味します。しかし、他のケースでは、"build "は破壊されたものに言及して使われます。例えば、戦闘で廃墟と化した建物を再び建てることができます。このような場合には、「建てる」というのは、悪への欲望を取り除いて、精神的な成長の新たな段階に入ることを意味します。このような場合、"build "は "raise up "と一緒に使われることが多く、同じプロセスの中で誤った考え方を取り除くことを意味しています。

後
スウェーデンボルグによると、時間と空間は、霊的な現実には存在しません、彼らは物理的な平面上にのみ存在する純粋に自然なものです。これは、時間がないので、1つの霊的なものは、時間内の別の霊的なものの "後に "起こることができないことを意味します。そして、ある霊的なものは、空間がないので、空間の中で別の霊的なものに "後から "続くことはできません。 代わりに、スピリチュアルな現実は、スピリチュアルな状態、つまり天使の愛と思考に基づいて構造化されています。これらの愛と思考は原因と結果の連鎖の中でつながっていて、天使たちは私たちが時間を経験するのと同じように経験しています。そして天使が似たような思考や感情を持っている時、彼らは私達の物理的な親密さの経験と非常に同じである親密さを経験しています；彼らの考える「空間」とは、霊的な世界全体で霊によって保持される思考や愛情の変化です。 聖書が何かを他の何かの「後」と表現しているとき、霊的な意味は霊的な状態の進行と関係しています。そして、高い状態は低い状態に流れ込むので、「その後」に来るものは、より低い、より外的なものになる傾向があります。例えば、他人に良いことをしたいという内的な深い願望は、私たちができる具体的な良いことの具体的なアイデアに自ずと流れていきます。それらの具体的なアイデアは、善良でありたいという願望の「後」になるのです。

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。
