Aire
El "aire" en la Biblia representa el pensamiento, pero de una manera muy general - más como nuestra capacidad de percibir ideas y la forma en que tendemos a pensar, más que nuestras ideas específicas sobre cosas específicas.
(References: Apocalipsis Explicado 541, Apocalipsis Explicado 1012; Apocalipsis Revelado 423, Apocalipsis Revelado 708; Arcana Coelestia 57, 58, 221, Génesis 1:26, 3:8; Apocalipsis 9:2, 16:17)
Esto tiene sentido, si lo piensas. Vemos el mundo que nos rodea a través del aire, y ver corresponde a la comprensión. Oímos a través del aire, y oír corresponde a ser enseñado y obedecer. Los pájaros vuelan en el aire, y representan pensamientos e ideas específicas. Y la respiración en sí misma, tomando aire y pasando oxígeno a la sangre, representa nuestra comprensión de las verdaderas ideas espirituales.

Numbers 23:1-7
1
Balaam said to Balak, "Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams."
2
Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
3
Balaam said to Balak, "Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: perhaps Yahweh will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you." He went to a bare height.
4
God met Balaam: and he said to him, "I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar."
5
Yahweh put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."
6
He returned to him, and behold, he was standing by his burnt offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7
He took up his parable, and said, "From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.
