"As above, so below"
"As above, so below"
When I, hermes, apollo, said those words
they were intended as
"Such is God, such his creation."
It was meant as a taunt to God.
Most of his creation hell bound.
As evil as he is.
That was the original intention of that famous saying.
Are you creating posts just to see your own words in print?
shareI am adding to world information database. Previously it was I Hermes who coined the term "As above, so below".
What i meant was opposite to how people took it.
Well it's basically encapsulated. In the casual read it just makes a statement. It doesn't ask for people's opinions or comments. At first glance it seems to twist around and contradict itself.
shareAs above, so below is itself a statement.
Yes, that's the idea. To twist the original statement around because i am a contrarian at least in this thread.
People here are free to make up their own 'statements' OR be creative!

In an essence this is an accurate interpretation of the rule, but it's applicable (even in its original use) to a much wider range of things.
Isn't the term often used by pagans to relate the connection of everything in the universe? You know, how we're all made of star dust?

Did you actually read The Emerald Tablet? Because that's where it's from.
"True, without falsehood, certain, most certain. What is above is like what is below, and what is below is like that which is above. To make the miracle of the one thing.
And as all things were made from contemplation of one, so all things were born from one adaptation"
Just nonsense about alchemy and New Age crap.🙄
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Adding to what you've said, some may also render the phrase as a gnostic teaching; implications of our reality being created by a lesser God and the heavens above by a greater one. There also tends to be less emphasis on divinity as a source of truth (miracles) and more on raw knowledge itself in gnosticism.
