As Above ...
Can you complete that famous sentence? “As above …
In symbolic systems this can stand for that.
Here is a photo of some tomatoes (grown from seed - I’m proud of them).
A sphere is a sphere at any scale.
I read somewhere that the planet Earth with all its surface corrugation is actually as smooth or smoother than a standard billiard ball. (Tallest peak is Mt Everest at approx 5 miles above sea level. The diameter of the Earth is 8,000 miles approx. Everest over diameter = 1,600th, a variation too small to be noticed even on a smooth billiard ball).
That may be worth bearing that in mind the next time you shoot some pool.
The ancients had it that the Earth was at the centre of the universe and starting with the Moon the celestial bodies above us each occupied a sphere through which they traveled. This below is a two-dimensional representation of that three-dimensional model, which itself is hinting at higher dimensional space-time.
When I played Neils Bohr, considered to be the father of quantum physics, I bought (with the full intention of reading the entire thing) a charming volume titled Quantum Physics for Dummies.
I managed to get through five or six pages, quickly hitting my head on the ceiling of my understanding. I admit I stayed closer to the ‘Dummy” end of the exercise than the “One who understands quantum” end of it.
But I did gain a valuable insight:
A particle can also be a wave. A particle can also be a field.
What if the particle is planet sized? Saturn for example. What would the field of its wave look like? And which dimension would we need to access to perceive it?
Oh, that sentence: “As above… so below.”
As an avid gardener, I love seeing the example with the veggies! Lol
Interesting perspective as always.
