As Above, so below. As Within, so without

Dear mindful readers,

Usapang “universe” muna tayo ngayon ha. I had originally started drafting my article when the road rage incident involving that “bratinella” ate girl na vlogger happened, but she’s already all over mainstream media na, so I decided on another topic to write instead. But just to speak my mind, the audacity of that feeling entitled young lady shook me to the core! At ginamit pa talaga si Kuya driver for her engagement! Pinagkakitaan pa si Kuya after so much cussing and overbearing arrogance!

Anyway, inhaaaaale…exhaaaaale… So let’s get on with my philosophical-ish topic for this brief discourse. Allow me to delve on the mystifying phrase “As above, so below. As within, so without.”

I am a staunch and avid believer of faith, fate, in mantras, karma, the mystery of the universe, charms, and everything in between. Time and again, I have witnessed good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. Some call it “coincidence,” I call it “karma”. Philosophers discuss the phrase “as above, so below. So within, so without” as an idea that encapsulates a deep and profound metaphysical thought which emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things. Accordingly, it suggests that what happens on a larger, cosmic scale (the “above”) is reflected in the smaller, earthly or personal scale (the “below”). It implies that the same principles govern both the universe and individual experiences.

As we try to put meaning and significance to this, we are called to regularly assess our thoughts, actions, and emotions. Perhaps understand how these internal factors affect our life circumstances. Positive or negative changes in our internal dialogues can foster changes in our external reality. We should always be mindful of our actions and the consequences they may bring. Recognize that small actions can lead to larger outcomes, and aim for intentionality in everything we do.

Meanwhile, we are also encouraged to make time for both our personal goals and responsibilities and to create harmony in our lives by ensuring that our thoughts, words and deeds are aligned. This not only enhances our personal experience but can influence those around us positively.

By embracing the principles behind “as above, so below. As within, so without,” one can achieve greater self-awareness, foster meaningful relationships, and contribute positively to the larger world. Thus, there is a fundamental unity in existence, and that understanding oneself can lead to a greater understanding of the universe.

Kaya ikaw ate girl Yanna, you might need to do some serious self-reflection and do yourself a favor by learning humility and patience if you intend to pursue your motorbike hobby. Otherwise…

Be kind. Yun lang.

Love and light,
