As Above So Below: Why You’re More Powerful Than You Think

To the uninitiated, the cosmos may appear as a grand chaos, an almost senseless jigsaw of astral bodies, cosmic forces, and terrestrial occurrences. Yet, upon closer scrutiny, facilitated by the lens of Hermetic wisdom, one begins to witness an awe-inspiring tableau — a mirror-like symmetry that reveals a cosmic dance between the higher and lower realms. This is not mere poetic metaphor, but a vivid existential reality, a way to make sense of the inscrutable symphony we find ourselves part of.

“As Above, So Below” whispers to us that the mysteries of the outer galaxies are akin to the enigmas of our inner psyche. Consider, for a moment, the spiraling motion of the galaxies. Isn’t it reminiscent of the helical structure of our DNA? The stars up in the night sky don’t merely twinkle in isolation; they are part of constellations, of galaxies, of expansive cosmic narratives. Similarly, our thoughts, emotions, and actions are not solo endeavors but parts of greater human constellations, societal galaxies, and an expansive cosmic narrative of interconnectedness.

Think of meditation, an act that may seem individual and self-contained. But as you go deeper into the tranquil realms of your inner being, you inadvertently tap into the collective human consciousness. The peace you cultivate within isn’t just for you; it emanates outwards like ripples in a pond, soothing restless souls you might never meet in the flesh. This is the practice of “As Above, So Below” in its raw, palpable essence — a tranquilizing balm for the individual that becomes a cosmic balm for humanity.

And then there’s the earthly realm — our daily actions, the tangible “So Below” that seems far removed from astral grandiosity. Here too, the principle beckons us to recognize that even our most mundane acts are governed by celestial mechanics. When you water a plant, nourish a friendship, or merely breathe — each act resonates with the cosmic hum, the universal ‘Om.’

So, the next time you look up at the night sky or delve into the depths of your inner world, remember, you are not an isolated entity but a point of conscious energy in a holographic universe. Your acts, thoughts, and feelings aren’t mere individual expressions but ripples in an eternal ocean, each capable of stirring the cosmic…
