As Above, So Below

"As above, so below ...the within of things is as the without of things."  This is written about by Hermes Trismegistus on the Emerald Tablet.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet  I'm no scholar but I intuitively knew this somewhere in my 20's or 30's and have only recently found the ancient text to support my insight.  I thank Rick Levine, Astrologer, for mentioning this in his recent YouTube video of August's astrology.  He further added one does not create the other, they are the same and there is a beauty in this; I'll call it the beauty of creation.

This is pretty amazing in that I never had the chance to attend college when I was younger, never stumbled upon this information or heard this anywhere...but I somehow knew it.  Let me clarify, I first thought that the cosmos was mirrored in our bodies.  Eventually I drew the conclusion that all is the same...it's a glorious creation that we may, or may not, come to understand when we pass from this existence.  It remains to be seen if we are living in a hologram (a modern day supposition) and continue to exist only as long as we remain within it, or if death takes us beyond the creation or hologram.  In recent years, many have begun to talk about us all being one and that appears to be yet another modern day advancement of the same ancient alchemical works by Hermes and others.

In terms of inventions, it has long been proposed that the reason many seem to come up with similar ideas around the same time is due to this "oneness".  Oh, it's not usually stated that way but that the information is floating in the ethers for those open minded souls to find.  First one to the patent office is the one to benefit most!  As an aside, in my Human Design reading, I learned that all of my ideas may not be mine.  I may pass through a room and then have an idea but if I think about it a few days, I will come to the conclusion it wasn't mine but someone else's that I picked up on.  If it was truly mine, the way to execute it would reveal itself without a great deal of effort.

Love musing over philosophical, alchemical and psychological theories and arriving at my own conclusions; which, it seems, are only extensions of the whole/the one and never entirely my own insight.
