The Principle of Correspondence

“As Above, So Below; As Within, So Without; As the Universe, So the Soul…”

This phrase is very common in Hermetic philosophy. It basically means that everything – all the planes of existence – are connected and in correspondence. The macrocosm is found in the microcosm and vice versa – solar systems, societies and life on Earth reflects the same thing on the cellular and atomic level.

The 7 Hermetic Principles as Above So Below

What this law means in an everyday setting is that whatever we do on the micro level so will we do on the macro level. Even the tiniest of habits influence the grand scheme of our behaviour. As we do anything, so will we do everything. If you slack off in one area of your life, the others will also suffer.

Even more, the outer world reflects our inner world. The thoughts and images we hold in our consciousness begin to subconsciously manifest themselves in our external circumstances. The mind takes everything as it is – it does not distinguish the substantial from the real and begins to re-create exactly that which we focus on the most.
