In case "/path/to/my/lisp/library" is the same path as "~/where/my/keybinding/configs" then the last statement allows you to perform eight times:
(load "are.el" t t t)
The variable load-path is similar to the environment variable PATH (or path) for (some) shells: it allows to find a command by the file name (for example: "ls") or to load an Elisp file by its name (for example: "are.el") instead of using the full path name. (When PATH points to the directory with ls, remove, compile, why isn't the shell endlessly ls'sing, removing, and compiling?)
