As Above, So Below | Ancient Hermetic Wisdom, Carl Jung & the Cosmic Brain

- As above, so below -- Don’t mistake it for a new age platitude. It's an adage that has inspired seekers for centuries and is being proven true by cutting edge science.
But it’s more than an idea, it’s personal. It’s a portal that transports the psyche to deep hidden wisdom and a felt sense of interconnected mystery.
In this transmission, I invite you to enter that portal portal with me.
We'll explore the ancient origins of the idea from Plato's Timaeus to the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. We'll discuss how Carl Jung brought it down into the psyche through synchronicity and archetypes. We'll see how science seems to be proving it as literally true.

It's all one universal mind. Once you tune yourself to the right frequency you understand it's all energy, frequency and vibration. When you sync your mind to the universal mind you become self-aware and unlock your full potential.
DO you have a suggestion on how to tune in? I suspect I did once but no clue how it happened.
@Coconutoilcrazy know thyself. You have to be Gold. Gold is a super conductor, which means energy flows freely with no restrictions and outside influences does not effect it. You run on energy which is your spirit, when your happy your in higher vibration. Live by the Golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated. Good things raise your energy, bad things lower your energy. Research alchemy, christos activation and philosophy. You'll find out everyone is saying the same thing, you are spirit experiencing life in a physical body. Your atoms are the same atoms that make up everything in the universe, energy doesn't die, only changes form.
You are a universal light being connected to all.
@@Coconutoilcrazy For me, it's enough to smoke some weed and focus on love. The unity of everything in the light/energy/consciousness/God. Stop thinking that you want something and instead go into a give-mentality. _Be_ love. That's how I step out of my ego/limited perspective and transcend to a higher plane, at least❤ (PS: I'm working on getting there sober, I feel like that's the next step of my journey)
I remember as a teen reading some book just called “The Mind,” written by a neuroscientist in like 1980…it opened with him describing the rough amount of neurons in the human brain, and then adding “…roughly equivalent to amount of stars in the observable universe.”
In the accompanying image, of neural connections in a brain, it was impossible not to notice a similarity to images of a large swath of space.
That alone tripped me out and gave me chills (in a very good way). That was the first time I had heard of, or considered, the notion, and all I have learned since then has only blown my mind further (particularly the part about the galactic filaments).
I am looking for the book The Mind, do you happen to recall the authors name? I cannot find the mind. Many thanks for sharing about the book
You can see cymatics in turtle shells and other various species. Trees are lungs on the outside but we are on the inside of that. The parrells and interconnectness are mind blowing. And I've only mentioned the materialistic view point.
Just wait until you realize the internet is already self aware.
These are profound ideas; ideas that I've only begun to comprehend enough to appreciate. And I must say, I'm moved not only by these incredibly sublime insights of our ancient forebares, but also the newly growing interest in these neoplatonic hermetic mytho-poetic concepts in the modern day. It's exciting to see this unfural before our very eyes!
Absolutely agree!
Yes!!
Truly excellent this is worthy rabbit hole. Well done my friend
Finally hermetics!!!!!
I'm really loving this channel man!!
When I was going to school for HVAC they said the compressor was hermetically sealed, meaning its sealed in the factory and isn't meant to be opened. If something inside of it breaks, u just have to buy a whole new one.
Later in life I discovered hermeticism and the 7 principles and I realized exactly what it meant. In this philosophy it can account for everything. It needs nothing else.
i always wondered what that meant. thanks. Hermetically sealed. right on.
This was a good preamble to the Hermetic philosophy The deeper historical perspectives and esoteric concepts are presented by Manly P. Hall in his 4 lectures on the same topic via Library of Alexandria. And Manly Hall talks like if he just strolled out of Plato’s Academy to share the knowledge with those “who are not ignorant of geometry”. Thank you!
Wonderful transmission. Many names and resources for me to dive deeper into this fascinating discussion. Thank you!
I'm a simple man
I see hermeticism, I click
Thank you for that! I always love other bites, takes, and quotes. The wrap up at the end was fantastic, you really nailed the method. Information with meaning👊
Thank you again, Michael. 🙏🏽
amazing as always
Wonderfully inspiring! Thanks, Michael! ❤
Most well presented research on this topic!
very well done and super interesting!
Another brilliant transmission, Michael, thanks.
This was fascinating, really resonates. Thank you.
Another very interesting discussion and you lay it out so well. Thank you!
I enjoyed that, thanks!
Thank you, very rich and resonatative!🙏✨
Excellent stuff 🌀👏
Stunning. Brilliant. Impossible to define the implications of the ideas demonstrated in this video.
Nice solo dip, Michael! My Wednesday is complete.
AMAZING!!!
I've been a fan for a few years but lately I've been absolutely devouring the pod and videos ❤️ just wanted to tickle that algorithm with a lil comment.
✨🙏✨ Appreciate it!
I agree w u 100% at the 20 min mark. I think the ego (necessary for evolution) might be the byproduct of the brain "tuning in" to this physical reality from some universal field of consciousness but the consequence of this is the feeling of seperation. This is why the thinking mind can't acess the collective unconscious. I believe this is what the ancients were teaching in the mystery schools. Techniques to remove the filter/ego. Anyone who can access and navigate that field can essentially override the laws in this physical dimension because at the end if the day, "all is mind". Man your videos really make me think man! Your making my world brighter!!
Make total sense. Feels like we knew this all along. 😉🙏
This is really good man, a wonderfully integrated symposium of the esoteric spectrum, and you have really managed somehow to marry the Coincidentia oppositorum of the mythopoetic and scholastic in such an inspiring fashion, where it feels insightful, clear, and magical all at once. Thanks brother.
Deeply intriguing content🙏
If I could add a small bite of my own, it would be that this mental energy is neither good or bad. It just is. It is humans that have attempted to make sense of our existence by believing that there is a God. Even the ancient philosophers were prone to this filter or am I incorrect? Until we do not fear the wrath of a higher being we are not truly free to explore inwardly without running into those walls we have constructed ourselves 🕉️
Merci vidéo intéressante.... thanks ‼️
Fascinating lecture I wish I could understand metaphysics like my father did, though I've always been interested. I love the visuals in this video.
In the desolate garden of existence, another withered flower blooms, a poignant reminder of the impermanence that governs our lives. The cramped ceilings of reality suffocate our potential, forcing us to crouch in the shadows of our true selves.
A man leads triple lives, a trifecta of existence born of duplicity or ignorance? Does he live with blinders to conceal the truth or deceive himself with falsehoods? I confront him, seeking his opinion of destiny.
''Perhaps someday I'll comprehend,'' he replies, his voice but a faint whisper. I press on, inquiring about the burden he seems to carry, only to be met with a paradox:
''The weight of a feather will crush those who dare to assist me.''
With a steadfast gaze, I grab him by the shoulders, my eyes locking onto his. ''You are an architect in and of this life but not the sole author of your fate. External force can alter the narrative; the power to choose resides within you but not alone. The decisions ahead are daunting, yet they are yours to make with or without intervention. And abandoning the choice altogether is yet still a choice.
The shattered vessel in Kabbalah. From one vessel come all created things and we walk the earth to experience being with these pieces to help sort of “bring unity” again. Beautiful concept.
I love this man 🪙
Once you are further along in your meditation, you will have the realization of no separation. Anything sensed, noise, racket, or what was once considered annoying will be seen as no different than the deepest peace.
Old Zen story… A new young monk went to a monastery to become enlightened. He was sitting in the meditation hall on the first day, and he heard the sound of dogs, growling and fighting just beneath him under the building. Later he asked the Zen master if he could have the dogs removed from under the Zendo, so that he could find peace. The monk said the growling, the barking and the fighting of the dogs is enlightenment. Zen practice is the path of no escape from any phenomena, anything sensed, or anything at all in the universe, because it is all of the original source, original mind. Put your mind directly in the middle of anything annoying till it becomes mind.

Hey plz don't take this comment negative,just wanted to point out audio glitch or double overlap when you are quoting the Corpus, 20:45 timestamp
Algorithm tickled
I enjoyed this broadcast
18:30-- at this point I'm reminded of my favorite philosophical movie WAKING LIFE
Wow getting very occulty and very academic. ❤ it
the more I learn about the unity, the more I believe in the messages in genesis. not sure about the rest of it but I believe that science so far has explained genesis outside of cause of happening. including evolution, if the universe is a brain then seven daysfrom that perspective would be quite a long time.
The dream of life is all there is... but what does it entail? We can only imagine its scope.
Does this channel do interviews? If so what is the criteria and how do I reach him?
22:20 --great episode. If you read this, Michael, id love to be a guest
9:34 - this indicates to me that no culture had any tie historically to any concept of the beginning of everything. The only thing that any generation can do is *think* about the past because there’s nothing…no one recorded anything. They had to imagine what the beginning was and that’s where this philosophical discussion leads to-just this monad of existence. Makes sense to me more than creating a God in my image.
You are a good person dude
✨🫶✨
Lmaooo am I tripping or did a bunch of your playlists change??
(Love your videos btw 😘😂)
Did they?
Very profound 🧐
In realising the true self the last step from leaving the mind is an intuition. The conscious mind is an appearance in the true self. If the ALL encompasses all. Our true self encompass all that hat we call the world. But we cannot know ourselves as our conscious mind cannot touch it.
Love u! 🫶🖖🎸
Love is the connecting factor, Sufis call it the beloved ( source)
Since you've read the Emerald tablets many times,i would really like your take on the Halls of Amenti...Is it the Halls of Hades in the Underworld of ancient Greeks or a parallel realm where the souls dwell?..I'm really curious.
The Seth material says that we are still in kindergarten here. We are children playing with blocks and the blocks are concepts. There is awakening going on though. I can feel it 😊
part of a larger being indeed where we live on a fraction of time of this being. 100 years in our time is a 100th of a second on grander scale of it all. as above as below as above. making us an universe within of our own with similar circumstances happening on an atomic level every day every minute every second.
It's my lucky life! Just one more synchronous smile inducing surprise 🤸💫🎶👍subed
A very enlightening talk about human life on earth in the Cosmic Universe. Did you intentionally not mention God or Love? And are these two words more than mere concepts? Thank you for this video. 👍🕉️🌟
The universe itself as a whole is conscious and everything in the universe all the way down to the smallest of the small is also conscious. Even atoms and electrons make a conscious choice to a degree.
How would consciousness arise in the first place if it’s not an inherent part of the universe itself? This is just how I’ve conceptualized the nature of reality
Could you list a few resources, books or techniques that would give the individual seeker an idea how to tap into the Nous, Collective Unconscious, etc.? Meditation is obviously the bedrock practice, but what are some of the others? I've been interested in looking into Qabalistic pathworking and tattva cards. Any advice on the practical application of these ideas would be very appreciated.
I’m still figuring this out for myself, of course. I do think Plotinus is a great resource. His advice of withdrawing from the senses, I think, is really important. Meditation in the dark or blindfolded is a good place to start. Also, float tanks, ritual practices like the middle pillar (though that is a bit of an acquired taste) Last but not least, plant medicine/certain molecules if that’s your thing and you’re of general stable mind. Also keep looking into platonists and the corpus hermeticum. So much more but I think this is a good start. ✌️
Coincidentally I was discussing this topic with my brother a couple of days ago when we last spoke. I wasn't going to comment but I saw the word compressor in the previous comment, so why not? I could be wrong, but it sounds like there's an audio compressor or plug in messing with the volume. Too much ratio or something. It would be pretty interesting if this comment was actually helpful rather than making me seem like a jerk. If somehow mentioning extreme compressor settings has relevance, that would be a cool microcosm of coincidence.
Cool❤
A cup of tea and thee. The world/cosmos is more tolerable now because of your dharma talks. Keep talking.
Simple truth, all is you.
I suspect psychdelics played a role in those past initiations to connectedness and inner wisdom

Curious how you missed out any reference to Taoist Scholars…and the book of change .
Pretty simple it talks about how the planets above effect us and the earth effects the planets above
Great presentation, and BTW I just saw an interview on Joe Rogan with Terrence Howard and his revolutionary theories. Have you heard of him?
You ever head planets clashing, oh the noise is unthinkable like a bass so deep and loud but silent. The size of chaos is cosmic and vast, chains of rocks pulled lines up in order as they get pulled back.
And as below, so above...
Your introduction here , its alot like, or how i understand the explanation, by new thought Christian metaphysical Unity Church (Charles & Myrtle Filmore, founders) of Micro & macro..love it! & ,Science of Mind.
👍👍👍
It's all one big mind field.
Hello
I'm grateful to have discovered the truth about Christ.
He really did lived here on earth and litterly rose from the dead.
I'm 100% convinced everybody needs forgiveness.
Before we enter the spirit realm after death, the only way we can come into the présence of our Maker we MUST be forgiven and bought with a price.
The blood of Christ holds eternal life. Lev 17:11
Just by believing/trusting in Him. The Spirit world is 100% real. I saw a wing of a cherub.
It was beautiful.
I know drugs, this was something else. No drugs only my free will to seek for Him.
He loves us greatly.
Gave His life for us people...
Platonic solids chairs yin-yang, wash -rinse, repeat ✡️ ☯️
They told us those were cold dark chunks of rocks and ice up there.....
While I do think the idea is accurate in some respects in others it doesn't work at all, specifically the odd places people go during states of altered consciousness, be they dtug induced or otherwise. Things which arw fundamental here like time and space don't apply or are way different than we know them to be. There's things there which don't have any analogs here thus there's no language to describe them. Again it does work with some things but it doesn't speak to the high strangeness of many other aspects of reality.
Not sure what idea you are responding to, but as down here we have such a wild variety of infinite forms and ways mind's can perceive reality, I mean we don't have analogs or a way to describe how an ant sees reality or an eagle or a tree, reality above is just as wild and varied as it is down here, it's all one thing with infinite uniqueness at every level.
I have to say the "Hermetic" take is very directly and deliberately taken from the Priest King and descendant of Atlantis Thoth. The Greeks admit nearly all of their knowledge was "taken" from or used The Egyptians. And Thoth being from the Civilization of Khem. An entire culture that lived within the borders of what we now call Egypt. Point being, these are THOTHS words, not those of any Greek or Greek-esk influence.
Don’t ignore the church fathers on this topic. Stsrt with St. Maximus the Confessor.
"as above so below" is the opposite of the lords prayer. "Thy will be done on earth as it was in heaven "
Thy will be done on earth (below) as it is in heaven (above) literally sounds like the same idea.
That which is (Life), that is nothing in particular (actual) is by definition everything in general (potential).
Life eternally actualizes infinite potential, because only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity.
The abstract (Heaven) called Love by the Psyche (Firmament) can be expressed concretely (Earth) as a smile, hug, etc, thereby uniting Heaven and Earth.
Was Jung a geocentric or heliocentric?
Come rover.
Woohoo gym entertainment locked down
my thought .... how can a person get a clean connection to soul, when coerce light energy is running bad media above and below, cables, starlink, machine noise etc. Even as one seeks peace in the out of doors there seems to be a flight of planes or a highway running in so called open spaces..... Terrence Mckennas monkey machines🤔are we forced to vibrate to mechanisms without our consent or knowing? beehive
Bro just read Voyagers 2 book the secrets of Amenti*
I'm sort of confused here. The demiurge is NOT evil just because the gnostic "discovered" this at a later date ?
I think I said something like it’s not evil “in this context” or something. It’s an idea with a history and Timaeus is the original usage of the term. The Gnostic outlook is definitely interesting to me, particularly Basilides, but it’s generally a bit metaphysically emo for my taste.
Body is a window, we see out to all that is in this now, windows are two way, we see in to all that is in this now.. only the way we look differs
Nothing is truly outside you

First comment again. Most valuable wonder dipper award goes to you brother 🏆
@@THIRDEYEDROPS probably means I check my phone too often.
Conscious…but is there intention…Just does but no why?🤔

🤹🏼♂️⚖️🕳️
I have noticed all of my life the things I think of eventually come to pass. Where does this foresight come from? I think we are an antenna attracting thoughts with the answers to the things we contemplate...it comes into our minds through our connection to the source/mind of the universe/god. Like synchronicity...a conversation.
Synchronicity...my favorite word..Dont let "Christian " ✝️ offend you!! Its why Synchronicity works in This Realm!!! LoL
Thr good doctor all souls know as above so below as without as witwintwon wombwoo

As Above so Below == as in Heven so on Earth. It is all as Jung said in Answer to Hiob. Jesus said it all, church killed the spirit and left people with faith only.
🔥💣🐂💩🐐🌐💣🔥
A lot of these people got their information from ancient Egypt it didn't start in Greece and you know this being a person of awareness like you talk unless you're still stuck in racism and classism
? What does classism or racism have to do with anything discussed here?
Instead of calling me names, how about pointing me to some of your favorite sources on that topic?
You do understand that Hermes Trismegistus was supposed to be Egyptian right?
Of course I understand this hermes is thoth tehuti... I just did not hear you give that reference point otherwise your work is great I just hear a lot of things started in Greece and you know that that may not be true
@@THIRDEYEDROPS you know I understand that I just was making sure you understood that... Thoth Tehuti otherwise I like your work
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are the “John the Baptist “ to the gentiles pointing towards the Way, Truth and Life.
Not sure if this Channel understands the difference between Jesus the Logos vs Jesus the characture most project onto Him.
Love this topic. If one pays attention, the proof of this is literally everywhere. For me, it helps serve as a life-guiding principle. Behave in a way such that knowing one day you will return to that source. Would love to see more about this! Thank you!
Is it possible you can attach book and video link references, please? They are mentioned briefly and having them linked really helps. Thank you!!
Check out quantum hermetica. Best book I ever read connecting hermeticism and physics. It's basically a book version to compliment this video.
I second this request ❤
Yeeeeeees
This can be done in faces too faces it'll be more conform in sitting within and outward on topics.
