It has become the slogan of magic, the cornerstone of hermetic philosophy, and the brand of Baphomet . . . AS ABOVE SO BELOW. In this video you’re going to learn the deeper meaning of this hermetic catchphrase and how it might suggest the central teaching of all mystical philosophy. The video will distill for you the depth and complexity of hermetic philosophy to apply to your own spiritual research.

    This is a fantastic video. As a Hindu I totally appreciated and understood this content. Love how you’re thinking more like an Eastern mystic. Tarot and spirituality are so closely linked. Thanks for being you - also I love your make up today. You look so edgy and fresh ❤️🥰

    I'm a mystic Reverend and been a professional reader and medium for a long time and when I stumbled across your video I was taken aback because it was like I was hearing myself talking. I've always used "As above so below" since childhood, but the most life changing it has been, has been the last year especially. New Orleans, we all were collectively going through either ascension or descension and it wasn't pretty either way lol. But when I started to chant the As above so below, I found a breath in between the words that I realized was a name and that's when I found everything in my life take a dramatic turn. I was a top reader for Marie Laveau's and I just left and my life in New Orleans just ended and it brought me to Minnesota where I am the head reverend for a new mystic Church where I'm teaching the seven principles. I teach divination magick and quantum alchemy is our main interest. So, hearing what your take is, it just matches up. We don't stumble on things this synchronized for nothing. I hope to cross paths in the future. Sew the soul my friend....

    Wow, the connection of the suit of swords and discs blew my mind. I just got my first tarot deck 3 days ago and decided to draw one card per day till I learn a little more about it. The first card I drew was a reversed 10 of discs... a little unnerving. The next day I wanted to know how to fix this situation, and a drew an ace of swords. I didn't quite understand, but now it makes sense!

    • @JoeMonteleone
      @JoeMonteleone  Рік тому +5

      This is a great practice. One thing you can do is use the daily draws as a reflection. For example, 10 of discs reversed might indicate a lack of stability or fear of moving forward, but you can ask "how CAN i move forward?" and follow the energy. That's also a great technique, pulling another card to shed light on how to move beyond what doesn't look fun. Ace of swords can be a new idea, goal, or vision for yourself that carries you out of the reversed 10 of disks.

    Very well explained. I’ve been trying to understand this, and I feel drawn to the following explanation:

Another way to look at it might be that our imagination is a microcosm of all creation, and that understanding human imagination may reveal hints about the dynamics of creation.

    This felt very much as what I thought about years ago when I started reading up a little on Crowley;
    That the Point, the 1, is nothing without anything to be aware of it, the 1 alone can't even Be anywhere, and can therefore only Be by the other "dimensions" that makes everything.
    ...Sorry if that didn't make any sense, it's something that can't really be explained by me as well in english as in my own language -:)
    I liked the way you described it anyway!

    • @JoeMonteleone
      @JoeMonteleone  10 місяців тому

      Yes, you are correct. But when you zoom out far enough, there is a sort of "germ" of being which can't be communicated but can be reflected downwards into our own experiences. I have found Plotinus to language it best. From that level, the "above" is more like pure existence/consciousness, and the "below" is all possible form.

    as above so below,as within so without,but pure Awarness can exist without being aware of any object,if one becomes aware during what we call deep sleep,than this pure Awarness remain in the other two states too:the wake state and dream state. In reality it was always there because it was never born so it cannot die,it's not even infinite because infinite it's still in space and time but eternal because it trascends them,usually is mixed with sense perceptions,the work is to separate them,until only pure Awarness remain,than it's realized that everything come from It and it's made of It so it's It too,in that moment duality is trascended,subject and object riunited,the union of opposite and what is Real (God in religious terms,Awarness,Presence,Para Brahman etc.. many other names according to the various traditions and religions but all point to the same "thing") is realized,may we all find it and be free from suffering,thanks for this video ,it is a divine gift,your mastery at understanding is really something else,sorry if there are some errors but this is not my language,many many blessings .🙏

This guy as others who practice mysticism, etc. are Lucifarians. They just don’t “announce” it. But he def uses all the catchphrases. Same stuff as Aleister Crowley. 🙄

Look at verse Matthew 7:3-5 "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye". Why wouldn't it be phrased as "DON'T cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye". Why attempt to justify yourself with the word if you know it so well.
