'A way' in the Word is used in reference to truths, because truths lead to good and go forth from good, as is made clear from the places quoted in Volume One, in 627. And because a way is used in reference to truths, 'a way' is doctrine since doctrine taken as a whole embraces all those things which lead to good, that is, to charity.

Flour and oil signify truth and good from a spiritual origin, and honey, good from a natural origin, as in Ezekiel 16:13. Flour, or meal, signifies celestial truth, and wheat, celestial good.
