8795. 'Saying, Take care not to go up into the mountain' means that there must be no extension whatever to celestial communities which have the love of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up' as extending to the Divine as He exists in a higher heaven; and from the meaning of 'the mountain' as the good of love there, dealt with in 4210, 6435, 8327, 8758. The nature of all this is clear from the explanation immediately above in 8794.
