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:
