>"As above," remarked Miles Blundell, "so below."


Cf.

'As below, so above; the forms of earth correspond to the forms of heaven; 
the blotches of the skin are a map of the incorruptible constellations; 
Judas is somehow a reflection of Jesus. From that conclusion derive the 
thirty pieces of silver and the kiss; from that conclusion derives the 
voluntary death, so as even more emphatically to merit reprobation.'

Jorge Luis Borges, 'Three Versions of Judas'

'In the hermetic books, it is written that "things below are as things 
above, and things above as things below"; the Zohar tells us that the lower 
world is a reflection of the higher.'

Jorge Luis Borges, 'The Theologians'
