           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).


The phrase "as above, so below" is from an alchemical text called the  
"Emerald Tablet of Hermes:"

There is an important parallel between the Chums and the Hindu Vimana  
which is related to the concept of "As above, so below," which we  
will introduce now and discuss further later:
