As Within refers to the mind and soul, As without to the world outside the individual. Together, the intent of the phrase is to remind the magic practitioner that they cannot achieve their purpose without first achieving harmony between spiritual and physical. As above, So below. ... As above – As in Heaven – (Your own mind) So below – So on Earth – (In your body and environment) If we think good, good will follow; if we think evil, evil will follow. In a secular context, the phrase can refer to the idea that the microcosm reflects the macrocosm – for example, that individual or domestic ills can result from larger societal ills.
I tried, I did my darndest to try and, since my left arm is restricted with a very tight black and neon blue sling, to avoid the occasional shoulder replacement burp, or the inexplicable muscle spasm used to fling an elbow or wrist or hand into wild gyrations, I watched with no bag of popcorn, a VERY necessary glass of moonshine (but vacant in reality, just a dream in a wistful version of this tale), BUT because of the pain a valid or is it, perhaps, invalid dosage of oxycodone, the IMPEACHMENT 2019; the “Greatest Show on Earth”, crafted and culled, acted and agonized, rotted and ruminated by two groups of Americans, who at no time WHATSOEVER, seemed to find the atoms of their bodies in close association with one another’s body. The soul of a nation (MINE) was in the throws of being shredded, shared from its roots, mangled, man and woman mishandled, and all within and without, might have been specks of ash on either side of the sun. The core of a nation (MINE) seemed of no consequence rather the remains of consequences, magnified and maligned by marginal pod people, more concerned with something only politicians suffer (TO BE PRIMARIED), added to that the love of money, greed, gluttony, and the grotesque ritual of licking the ball, wiping the ass or being the circus clown walking behind a very bloated BLIVIT (plural blivits) Anything overfull. An item of unknown purpose, often unnecessary or useless or annoying. (computing, slang) A program that has been worked on by many poorly skilled programmers and is now a mess.) It was a classic case of So Above, So Below…Had I remembered anything about evil I would have held a sprig sage with my right arm, and occasionally speak in tongues to no one but my dog Chance, for good luck and to have the EVIL emanating from Washington DC not find footing in my house.
Honorable Patriots were treated as nasty gnats buzzing around all that apple pie. Worried Public Servants who in their eons of public service were shooed away as if they were clouds of thunder, ready to rain Hell and Fire on a baseball game, and Professionals active in policy direction, were snubbed, bullied or lectured to and at, by mostly men and women who think GERRYMANDERED is the same thing as Motherhood. The hypocrisy meter almost exploded in front of each and every Republican enabler for a dictator named Trump, that, the I FRANTICALLY searched for my portable fire extinguisher! For the Dems it was about America, for the GOP it was a joke, slapstick at the time, melodramatic at times, and oh so NOT funny all the time. There must be good in this universe, it must be protected from evil. There is evil in this universe, it thrives on the misery of the meaningless, and emptiness of that only reflection is the sheen they see from the shit they wipe, as Trump dips drops, and drips his foul foolish and selfish treasures on Earth. I am in physical pain but watching the IMPEACHMENT SHOW, and its third rate anarchists helped me understand that I am suffering from a mental PAIN much greater!
