There are many Platonics -- and this last century hath afforded them some apish disciples -- who discourse very boldly of the similitudes of inferiors and superiors; but if we thoroughly search their trash it is a pack of small conspiracies... It is excellent sport to hear how they crow, being roosted on these pitiful particulars, as if they knew the universal magnet which binds this great frame and moves all the members of it to a mutual compassion. ~Francis Bacon
Ones thoughts are "above," Ones actions are "below." Most often, when a person thinks or meditates on something with enough conscious intent, it soon turns into some sort of related action. This is my philosophy.
Again these definitions... How about a broader picture, not focusing on 'satan', 'anti-jeusus' that religious freak tend to discuss lately with the coming depression in the US, and possibly UK.
Doesn't matter whose statement it is, get the bloody meaning.
well the image of baphomet is based on the saying, with his hands pointing up and down. It means the dual nature of life. By exploring the good and evil parts of our being we can change the universe. This is where ritual magick comes from.
Ritual magick is out of date. :) Todays voodoo is being performed by NASA & other R&D agencies, which can contribute a lot to humanity.
View it as: we're all 'stardust', answer lies in the skies like the ancients thought, and we now can reach those skies; so far - with a 'back thought' religion is holding us back, environmentalists are holding us back - all these nonsense protests about non-nuclear engines in LEarthO and even LLunarO, like the care.
It was a very crude form of philosophy on their part, it was no religion; they tried to understand the world via trial and error, documentation of facts, possibly too. Real philosophy emerged in Greece, but was then silenced by the church of vatican for the most part of western civilization, while the muslims & other religious peoples kept developing themselves.
Everything throughout history of mankind stayed roughly in range of 'as above so below', in today's terms - Astronomy (general).
Microcosm vs. Macrocosm. It's a concept that arises in the Tao Te Ching. Verum est quod superius est sicut quod inferius et quod inferius est sicut quod superius, ad perpetrando miracula rei unius--> The truth is, what is above is like what is below and what is below is like what is above, to accomplish the miracles of the one thing. The macro and micro are one. Subject and object are of the same. It's a concept that conveys reflection and its importance to your existence.
All things that desire to be (including the universe) must first state themselves as being and that which follows is a reflection. Take for instance the Fibonacci sequence, which was used for the count of words in the song lateralus. It starts at zero; a declaration is made (i.e. the # 1), and the rest follows a mirroring process indefinitely.
Irrational sequences may be of no importance to you and I, but if you spent your entire life studying geometry and came across something like this, it's like the Holy Grail. Some say the gates of heaven, and the doors to other dimensions are lined with Fibonacci's sequence. Though I'd rather be listening to lateralus as I ascend or transcend. Most of the beliefs are occult and philosophical though...take what you want from it. (Sorry for the length, this is concise)
