As above, so below
"'That which is above is the same as that which is below'...Macrocosmos is the same as microcosmos. The universe is the same as God, God is the same as man, man is the same as the cell, the cell is the same as the atom, the atom is the same as...and so on, ad infinitum."
Hermes Trismegistus.
This phrase is believed to hold the key to all mysteries. Let's go extreme close up; through the eye of the microscope, to get an insight into the universe through the elements around us. |
