Macrocosm and Microcosm are one. God is reflected everywhere

Section of a talk given at London's Swedenborg hall on the 12th of OCT, 2006. Discussed is the mystical idea called correspondence where the attributes of God are manifested everywhere in the Universe, in all things and at all scales. As above, so below. The microcosm and macrocosm are one. Everyone is made in the image of God. Also discussed is the nature of the cosmic cycle and how this process is reflected in our lives.

Good point (Not that I know anything about biology or genetics) but I was referring to the phrase tradtionally meaning the heaven and the earth, that they are undoubtedly similar... yet scientifically there is no actual divine realm in the clouds, nor an infernal abyss underground.

how bout the fibonacci sequence found in nature? To me, thats pretty as above so below, but really, the implications are nearly limitless and quite possibly, are.

"As above, so below" - what does this phrase even mean any more?

"I don't see any god up here." - Yuri Gagarin, 1961. We know where clouds and sunshine (chief ingredients that lead to human sustenance) are, we do not need to attribute them to deities.

So, how can he prove any of this? Where is his evidence that any of this exists? He speaks a lot of pretty words and quotes old tradidtions but bears no solid scientific evidence.
