REMISSION OF SINS
This expression signifies liberation from
captivity to the lower nature through the raising of the qualities
by an influx of Divine Life.
“Jesus breathed on the disciples, and saith unto them, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto
them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained." — John
xx. 22, 23.
The disciplined qualities (disciples) “were glad," and therefore
prepared for the outpouring (breathing) of the Spirit which raised
them. The “remitting of sins" is the loosening from the
imperfections and limitations which bind down the qualities, and
from which liberation is obtained as soon as the qualities are
breathed upon by the living Christ. The “retaining of sins” is the
opposite course, the failing of qualities to receive the Spirit
through the agency of qualities more spiritualised than themselves,
and consequent retention of evil and ignorance.
