- "As above so below" . . . . You’ve read it in a book, you’ve heard it on a podcast, you’ve seen it symbolized on every single tarot card! 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.

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 ❤️🥰
Hey Katerina! Thanks so much! I finally read a translation of the upanishads and they've been on my mind ever since. They are so beautiful.
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....
Understanding this as a Universal Principal, really puts this whole “existence” experience in a nice light for me.
Eloquently stated. Thank you so much for this beautiful video, and the work that you do.
Beautifully spoken, Thankyou Joe ❤
This resonated with me. Thanks for sharing this!
I could listen to you all day!
Awesome this information. I’m reading a book about this . All is coming together. Thanks! Janneke🌺🌷
I didn't know you had such a cool channel!!!
Im loving watching all your vids and going back to the beginning -it's like im binge watching a decent Netflix show - haha. I love your passion for Tarot and how you explain it to people, its so refreshing. I even bought the Triumphs deck - I cant wait. What a really nice guy - he was so flexible since I'm in the UK. I would have loved to have done your courses - just no time. Perhaps next time, please keep the content coming x
Aw thanks so much! Gaze is great, and so wise and talented. I'm glad we are connected. There will definitely be courses and programs in the future :)
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!
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.
Fantastic video, would love to go deeper . thankyou
Wow Joe 🌟 You are such a blessing, packed full of a diverse wealth of knowledge-whether it be re: Tarot & Mysticism, Outstanding Art-Makeup Skills that is well above the average skill set (11/10 🤩), beautiful verbiage & presence on camera or being a Gorgeous Spiritual Being…Thanks so much! ❤🌟 I’ve been following u heavily lately-My kids call me SMother so I had to send u all my SMothering, age doesn’t matter, much love 😘
you and this page are evolving into more and more amazing entities. Super knowledgeable.
Thank you ! Means a lot to hear :) more coming soon!
I probably watch this once a week and every time I learn something new, hear something more clear, understanding at a different level ❤️❤️❤️
Aw thanks!
Wow. This was illuminating
Very well explained. I’ve been trying to understand this, and I feel drawn to the following explanation:
If God is all consciousness, he creates through imagination. We are figments of God’s imagination. Our imagination is God’s imagination. We arise from and dissolve into God’s imagination
That is BEAUTIFULLY said! "Our imagination is God's imagination". Very that.
@@JoeMonteleone Thank you :) Randomly occured to me in a shower thought, could have been a download. 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. Here I'm almost tempted to say _as above, so below_ ..
You are one of the only ones that can link ( and interpret) Upanishads n Tarot. Brilliant and enlightening! Thx
Oh wow. This is a huge compliment. Thank you so much. I'm a little obsessed with the upanishads. I think they are the most beautiful things I've ever read.
You explained it perfectly ❤
Beautifully explained. thank you Joseph.
Thank you so much!
सब एक "all one"
I loved "only one floor." :) Another great vid, Joe. Thank you!
Thanks so much Brian! Means a lot :)
Thank you, this is excellent content beyond mere content.
Thank you!!! Means a lot :)
Thank you for this video mmmm is really different from what I thought as above so bellow is.
There's definitely multiple interpretations, like the astrological worldview. I just put a nondual spin on it :)
Great video!
Thank you!
I’m new to your channel ❤️❤️ my Cabala/tarot class is studying the tree form Porta Lucia ausburg tree. Crowley is my fav I have almost 200 tarot decks but always seem to run home to momma (Thoth Crowley deck) for serious questions. I haven’t had a chance to see if you’ve posted a video on the difference between the rider Waite and Thoth deck switching the strength and justice cards numbers? Thank you 🙏 I find your videos very insightful and well thought out 👍
Hey Cindy! Thanks for the kind words! I have one video explaining the differences that I will link here, but I will upload another video with more detail soon :) ua-cam.com/video/LUiLjjOloQo/v-deo.html
So great, so valuable and so true...it's all within xx
Yea! Now i'm asking "how far in can we go?! Woo!"
The Severn Hermetic Principles.The second being Correspondence.Correspondence between laws and phenomenon of the various planes of being and life.
Thank you!
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!
Yes! The naples arrangement. Makes total sense. Love it.
I totally understand what you mean, even though it is hard to explain indeed. This question has been fascinated me since childhood. Thanks Joe for bringing this up and pointing us resources to unravel this fascinating matter.
Why is the above the "subject" and the below the "object"? I was thinking it would be the opposite?
As above, so below. As within, so without
Nice work i thank you.
Thanks!!
Great video!

Very that!
Have you read “the emerald tablets of Thoth” by Maurice Doreal?
I haven't! I've heard they are a recent addition. I have a copy but I haven't yet dug in. have you? What do you think?
@@JoeMonteleone I’ve been reading it maybe 5-10 times a year for the last 10. I love it, it gave my life real meaning. There’s a great 2.5 hour audiobook by Aan on UA-cam with a lovely frequency playing behind. From some of your material, I think you will appreciate it. Love your content by the way :-)
This is interesting- the main thought that keeps coming up: so when we die, as there is no material existence to observe, do we then also enter the void and cease to exist?
This is a great question. I am going to recommend a book that can answer this way beyond what I could say: The Katha Upanishad is a story about a boy who asks death this exact question. It's a deep read and Swami Sarvapriyananda has youtube videos about it.
Being aware of nothing is still being aware - of being aware.
The temporal is the mirror of the Eternal.
i’ve never been so sure i was looking at a demon before in my life. Jesus Christ take realm over this mans life
Matthew 7
1
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Do a video on the key of Solomon or king Solomon pls
I thought it meant that when you zoom in or out of the scale of life in the universe you find similarities. Like comparing humanity to a colony of ants or seeing that a more advanced alien species also live by a governmental system
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.
One day a beautiful ladie will come to you. It'll come be patient
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 .🙏
You got a pay the troll toll to get into the wormhole ;)
You said meditation instead of mediation
Bafamet isn’t synthetic, he’s either a demon or the devil himself.
I wouldn't be so sure!
Christ is king
Is this a christian teaching?
It's not any one religion. If I had to put a word to it, I would use the Greek word gnosis or the sanksrit jñana. It's less a teaching and more of an experience.
No, this is all occult. Def not Christian. There’s a reason Baphomet is the one used as example. And all deities are representative of same. 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. 🙄
The only thing thats true is Gods Love manifested thru the works of his begotten son to conquer the enemy and death so that we have be redeemed and have eternal life.
God did not give us no as above so below but a spirit of peace and His righteousness.
Seek His kingdom and righteousness first thru faith in Jesus Christ and find peace.
Thx hun u tried it😢😊😊😊😊
There is no try silly! You either do or you don't!
This sounds extremely arbitrary and does not reflect my experience of the world at all. Just an idea with randomly connected dots no different than pareidolia fueled by confirmation bias. To be each their own, I guess.
Well maybe you can make a youtube video to educate us. I look forward to it!
Jesus loves you All He died for your sins He will save you if you ask!!❤
Already saved! And you are too!
@JoeMonteleone Amen brother God bless you!
This guru keeps repeating the same thing with no elucidation.
That's sweet of you to say, but I don't consider myself a Guru. That's nice of you to think of me that way. Thanks for watching!
Christ is the only way to life May God YHWH Help Everyone To Understand the Truth And Love Amen 🙏✝️❤️
🤡🤡🤡
You use dating bc ad but practice blasphemy, repent.
You are not in control, you not God, you are held by the powers of his will. Fear the father and his son Jesus. The demons you trust fear him. He is the way, the truth, the life.
Matthew 7: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
@@JoeMonteleone that verse is about hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is me doing your sin and judging you for it. If the Lord judges me for preaching for fear in Him I would somehow need to be the one not afraid as you for that to be hypocrisy. This verse is used a lot to manipulate Christianity. 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.
Jesus is king and Jesus loves everybody
