“As Within, So Without. As The Universe, So The Soul” - Hermes Trismegistus
“As Within, So Without. As The Universe, So The Soul” - Hermes Trismegistus
"As Above, So Below" — Within these four words lies a profound philosophical concept that has resonated through the ages. It's a belief that the small mirrors the large, the earthly reflects the cosmic, and the mundane unveils the mystical.
In the realms of spirituality and mysticism, it suggests that the patterns and truths of the metaphysical plane find their echo in the physical world. It hints at the idea that understanding the workings of one realm can unlock insights into another, bridging the gap between the tangible and the ethereal.
In a modern context, this phrase reminds us of the interconnectedness of all things. It whispers that what happens on a smaller scale might be indicative of what unfolds on a grander stage, and that the laws governing one domain often extend to another.
It is an invitation to contemplate the harmonious tai chi of existence, a reminder that, despite the vastness and complexity of the universe, there are underlying patterns and relationships that tie it all together. Whether you're a seeker of spiritual truths or a ponderer of life's mysteries, it beckons you to embrace a unique vantage point. So, what is it that you see?
