BIBLE VERSES

BINDING AND LOOSING ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN 

Symbolic of the determinations of the law of karma. Cause and effect exemplified in higher and lower conditions.

“What things soever ye (the disciples) shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." - MATTHEW xviii. 18.

The binding or loosing by the disciplined qualities (disciples) in the lower nature (earth), signifies the use made of the powers of the soul in their outgoing to bind or loose the desires. The binding or loosing in the higher nature (heaven) is the corresponding result arrived at by such activities within the soul in their incoming. That is, if the lower qualities are under control on earth, the higher qualities are under control in heaven; or if the lower qualities are unrestrained on earth, the higher qualities remain unclaimed in heaven.
