BIBLE VERSES

MOORING POST FOR SHIP

A symbol of the Higher Self to which the soul must be consciously attached.

"Tell me my name,' saith the Wood whereat I would anchor; Lord of the two lands who dwellest in the Shrine' is thy name." - BUDGE, Book of the Dead, Ch. XCIX.

“The "Wood" is the same as the "Horn," or "Rock of Salvation," the Christ. The Higher Self is Lord of the higher and lower natures in the soul, and has his seat in the causal-body (shrine).

"And the mooring-post is fixed for me in the Pool of the Zenith, the mooring-post is set up for me." - Ibid., Ch. CX.

And the Higher Self, as the goal of righteousness, is set before the soul as its aim.

"Then they cast out the mooring stones, and made fast the hawsers." - Iliad, Bk. I.

Then the attraction to lower opinions was lessened, and further effort was made to attach the lower self to the Higher.
