          Bryan Snyder:
          Admittedly I did not understand the “as above, so below” 
          when it is mentioned (I think twice in AtD??) and I have 
          to dive into M & D (but am really looking forward to it).
 
          I understand… you know… the phrase but I just didn’t 
          quite get it and it seems, from all the discussion here, 
          that the statement is pretty crucial to this Book.
 
          Anyone mind filling me in on what I am sure will seem 
          so obvious after being informed?
 
          Thx everyone.
          B

The whole Gnostic notion of being "hooked up" to the Overmind, 
Super-Duperconciousness, the Godhead, The Big Cheese. . . .the whole mystical 
concept of a greater sphere, one that---with the proper training---one can link 
up to, have communion with, be one with. So that Overmind is as above. Anyway, 
that's been my take on it for a long time, but I'm only a fool. . . .
