Geo-Cosmology - As Above, So Below

 

 

 

The sages tell us that the Absolute created the universe in such a way that its very structure and movement become the common matrix for the organization of all human knowledge. "As Above, So Below" proclaims the Rishi; the principles of order and harmony which exist in the Macrocosm are also to be found in the microcosm. Starting from any level, one can establish an awareness of these patterns and symmetries and follow them to other levels through the laws of correspondence. They manifest first as Cosmic and Planetary harmonies before reaching a highly specific individuation in the human domain.
As we pursue these cosmic harmonies to the planetary level we find that we are able to discover additional correspondences simply by overlaying the "map" of the heavens upon the earth. With the 360 degree Zodiac thus laid on the globe. This overlay gives us a Map that provides an immediate insight into the archetypal identity of Nations. India for instance IS the sign Capricorn and Saturn is its ruler. The United States falls under the sign Cancer and of course its birthday is July 4th which corresponds to the 13th degree of the zodiacal sign Cancer. Another interesting correspondence is the relationship between India and the USA. India occupies the 'Spiritual' pole of the Capricorn-Cancer axis which cuts through globe to its 'Material' counterpoint; the United States of America (born on July 4th, the mid-point of Cancer). Each of these countries represent the epitome of their archetypal identity as the poles of Spirit and Matter and together they form the evolutionary axis of the earth.
