“As above, so below. As below, so above”.

To me, the main problem with many religious people is that whenever they think of God — whatever the name they give —, or when they unconsciously act in order to win “his” favor, they have already filtered their thoughts/actions through a belief: God is somewhere above, outside of me.

— Actually, the same thing also confuses the atheists, but let’s leave that for another post — .

The human being is homoousion (from the Greek word ομοούσιος<ομο: the same+ουσία: substance) with “God”; of the same substance with the divine. So, the divine is not somewhere outside.

“Everything is dual, everything has poles and everything has its pair of opposites; Like and unlike are the same; Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; Extremes meet”.

Wisdom couldn’t exist without its opposite. But, its opposite is actually the minimum degree of it, in a sense. So, divine wisdom is the one edge, and the least-widened-human’s …wisdom, is the other edge OF THE SAME THING.
