Synapse and Shadow: Where Magic Meets Science09 | As Above, So BelowIn this enlightening episode of Synapse and Shadow, we explore the Hermetic Principle of Correspondence—most famously encapsulated in the phrase “as above, so below.” This timeless concept suggests that the universe is interconnected through repeating patterns, mirrored structures, and symbolic resonance between micro and macro realms.We dive deep into the origins of this principle, tracing its roots from the ancient Hermetic texts to its echoes in modern scientific discoveries. From fractals in nature to the holographic universe theory and quantum entanglement, we uncover how science and mysticism often tell the same story in different languages.2025-05-2118 min
