BIBLE VERSES

ANCHORAGE OF THE SHIP

A symbol of the attachment of the lower self to the Higher Self, through the growth of the higher qualities.

"Your only freedom is in intercourse with Christ. Bind your soul to His, and it must rise with Him into His liberty." - PHILLIPS BROOKS, Mystery of Iniquity, p. 183.

“The promise (of salvation) is like a mighty cable, that is fastened by one end to a ship, and by the other to the anchor: the soul is the ship where faith is, and to which the hither end (nearest end) of this cable is fastened; but hope is the anchor that is at the other end of this cable, and which entereth into that within the veil." - J. BUNYAN, Israel's Hope.
