As Above, So Below: The Patterns That Keep Showing Up Everywhere

As Above, So Below: The Patterns That Keep Showing Up Everywhere

“As above, so below.”


I've come across those words before, usually in spiritual or esoteric conversations. Then i saw:

A lightning bolt and the branches of a tree.

A tree and the human nervous system.

The nervous system and the branching structure of brain cells.


And suddenly, the phrase felt much more tangible.


How many patterns in life we simply don't notice because we're so used to seeing them?

Reflective scene from Benjamin West’s 1791 painting The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, showing the Archangel Michael expelling Adam and Eve from Eden as a serpent slithers away below, symbolizing separation from Paradise and the divine.

The Tide Between Us and God

I’d read the sentence a hundred times in my life without ever really reading it:


“Sin separates you from God.”


But this time, I came across something that made me stop.


Is the word “sin” connected to an ancient Mesopotamian god named Sin (Suen or Nanna in Sumerian), who was associated with the moon?


And I just sat there for a moment.

What Eyes Taught About Consciousness

Our eyes don't really "look out" at the world the way we assume. They receive.


The retina's job is to absorb light, turned into signal, sent down the optic nerve, and handed over to the brain to be built into an image.


That word — absorb — is what caught me.

Not "capture." Not "witness."


The retina functioning almost like a tiny black hole, drawing light inward so it can be processed. It connected that to something I'd seen before in passing but never really looked at — the Sigil of Lucifer.

The figure is set within geometric circles and measurement lines, styled after classic Vitruvian proportion diagrams, symbolizing the connection between the physical body and deeper structure.

The 5 Senses and The Eye of Horus

Our senses, mind, and even spirit are all more connected than we ever realized. Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell — each one is a doorway. They let our brain take in information from the outside world.


But central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) does the real work. It picks up light waves, sound vibrations, and other signals. Then it turns all of that into electrical signals. Our brain reads those signals. That's how they become the experience of "seeing" or "hearing" something. This idea connects directly with the ancient Egyptian symbol called the Eye of Ra.


Black-and-white portrait of Walter Russell beside his quote: "Your body is merely a machine made to express the thoughts that flow through you and nothing more. It is but an instrument for you to express your imagings just as a piano is an instrument for a musician to express his imagings. Just as the piano is not the musician, so, likewise, your body is not you.

The Color of Thought and the Light We Are

In Russell's framework, a frequency is register as colours in the astral plane. He viewed everything as vibration, vibration as light, and light as color. Then emotion was never truly invisible at all. We simply haven’t had the eyes to see it directly.


That's the part that unsettles me most. If our inner states are constantly broadcasting a frequency, then privacy, in the way we normally think of it, might be an illusion of the physical plane only. 

Scattered flock of birds in flight against a grey sky, symbolizing many thoughts tuning into one shared frequency.

If the Mind Is a Radio, What Are You Tuning Into Right Now?

Walter Russell, an early 20th-century polymath who spent much of his life exploring the relationship between light, consciousness, energy, and creation.


He described light as fundamental to existence and saw mind as something deeply connected to it.

Moving into the Superconscious Mind. Here's What Actually Works.

If the conscious mind reacts to appearances. The subconscious takes whatever we feed it and builds it into our life, no questions asked. And somewhere above both of them sits the superconscious — the part of us that isn't reacting to anything, because it already knows the bigger picture.


So how do we actually activating the superconscious?

Hands cradling a young flowering plant with roots exposed, symbolizing nurtured creativity and human potential taking root — reflecting Ken Robinson's message that intelligence, like nature, needs the right conditions to grow.

What If We Actually Let Kids Be Creative? A Look 10, 20, and 30 Years Ahead

A few years back, Sir Ken Robinson stood on a TED stage and said something that should have shaken the entire education system to its core: schools don't develop creativity. They kill it.


Most school systems on earth were built during the Industrial Era, designed to produce workers who could sit still, follow instructions, and perform on command — not people who could think for themselves.

Why Everything Feels So Chaotic Right Now: We're Living in Three Eras at Once

Have you ever felt like your life is running on two different clocks at the same time?


Your phone updates every few seconds. Your inbox never really closes. Yet you still clock in for a 9-to-5 built on a factory schedule from 150 years ago, still sit through school systems designed to produce standardized workers, still live in cities laid out for an industrial age that technically ended decades back.

The Three Aspects of Consciousness: What Florence Scovel Shinn Can Teach Us About the Mind

Have you ever wondered why you can know something is good for you and still not do it? Why you can affirm abundance every morning and still feel broke by 3pm? The answer isn't willpower.


It's architecture — the architecture of your own mind.
