How The Universe Works: The Principle of Correspondence

 

In this second post about the Hermetic Principles (the first is the Principle of Mentalism), we will talk about the Principle of Correspondence which explains the following:

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

Above? Below? Of what?

When we talk about above and below, we are talking about vibration frequency ranges.

For example, the color Red is in a frequency range between 405 and 480(THz). Orange is between 480 and 510 (THz). Yellow between 510 and 530(THz) and so on.

So what is more subtle (invisible to our eyes) has a higher (above) frequency and what is denser (closer to matter, more visible to our eyes) has a lower (below) frequency. But this does not mean that one is better than the other, it just means that each manifestation occurs according to its frequency.

In Hermeticism it is understood that we live on 3 different planes of manifestation (this division was made for a rational understanding, not that there is a physical barrier that divides the planes):

The Spiritual Plane, the Mental Plane and the Physical Plane (each with its subdivisions). The difference between these planes is in their vibration range.

As everything that exists in the Universe comes from the same source (Principle of Mentalism), there is a harmony, a correlation and correspondence between these planes. The same laws, principles and characteristics apply to all of them and on each of these planes the manifestation of their phenomena occurs in an appropriate way.

In other words, a "mess" on the Mental plane will manifest itself in a certain way. A "mess" on the Physical plane will manifest itself in another way. But there will always be a correspondence, if there is a "mess" on the physical life, there is a "mess" in mental life. The reciprocal is true.

This means that everything that is happening on one plane of manifestation is also happening on another plane of manifestation in a similar, corresponding way.

This gives us the possibility of understanding in our microcosm what is happening in the macrocosm, because it is something analogous, corresponding happening in both.

Think of the Electron rotating around the nucleus of the Atom. Now on the Moon around the Earth. Now the Earth around the Sun and so on.

Let's try to understand better, stay here with me!

We can have another example in our microcosm ("as above so below..."): if I am happy in my mind, very happy, my physical body will have a happy appearance; that is, in your mind ("above") this happiness and joy manifested itself in one way, in your physical body ("below") in another, but both corresponding actions.

Now we can zoom out to the macrocosm ("...as below so above").

How is the city you live in?

Applying the same way of thinking, what is happening on the Physical plane of your city is the manifestation of what is on the collective Mental Plane of the residents.

How is the world today?

What is happening on the Physical plane of the world today is the manifestation of what is happening on the collective Mental Plane of the world's residents.

But think how cool this is. This allows us to more easily realize what we can "adjust" in ourselves to start manifesting what we want (what our heart wants, but that's a conversation for another post).

If my physical field is manifesting a lot of arguments, a lot of disharmony, I already know that this is a correspondence to what is happening on the Mental Plane and that it may or may not (probably yes) also be happening on the Spiritual Plane.

If I resolve the issue on the Spiritual and Mental Plane (welcome to therapy), my physical reality will begin to manifest things corresponding to this new vibration of your Spiritual and Mental Plane.

If I want the war in the world to end, I need to end the mental war I wage against myself. This can be expanded to uncontrolled emotions (water element -> floods, storms), to fires/earthquakes (anger) etc.

I think there is already enough information here to help you awaken your consciousness. If you are interested in the book, it can be found in book sales stores (for example Amazon).
