4375. 'He said, Let us travel on and go' means a further stage, that is to say, in the joining together of good and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling and going' which, it is evident, implies progress towards things that stand further away. For progress and a stage further are contained in the internal sense of the phrases that follow next.

胎儿

孕育或被孕育与出生的意义非常相似。它代表一种精神状态,通往下一个精神状态。然而,"Beget "一般与父亲的身份和男人在生育中的角色有关,而生孩子和生育则完全是女人的事情。这就导致了一些深层次的意义。因为男人典型地代表着真正的思想,女人代表着美好的情感,所以 "生养 "往往说明思想可以引导我们去做善事,而 "生养 "往往说明美好的情感可以引导我们去做真正的思想。但这是一条模糊的线,受语境影响,有时还受翻译问题的影响。

事实上,最著名的 "孕育"--耶稣作为上帝的 "独生子 "的地位--与这一模式背道而驰。上帝的本质是完美的、神圣的爱,以完美的、神圣的真理的形式表达出来。在 "孕育 "耶稣的时候,他把自己神圣的真理--他神圣的表现形式--以人的形式,以人的肉体,给了他自己神圣的真理。所以,这就是爱孕育了真理。
