2 Analogy

<p>II. The Law of Analogy. Under this law, there is found a correspondence and agreement between all of the various forms of manifestation. What is true of the atom, is true of the sun. What is true of the amoeba is true of man, and beings above man. What is true of matter, is true of energy and mind. To know one is to know all. “As above, so below,” as the Hermetists express it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>

“Ex Uno disce Omnes”—“From One know All,” as the Arcane axiom says. This law is applied in studying the higher&nbsp;planes—they may be known by the lower, just as solar systems may be known by studying the atoms and molecules.</p>

<p>

And yet through the entire Cosmos there is ever manifest the Law of Analogy--that law which ever manifests a correspondence and agreement between all things on all planes. &nbsp;So true is this that if we discover certain fixed principles in one thing we may reason by analogy regarding other things, and thus discover the unknown "x" quality. "From One Know All," says the Arcane axiom. &nbsp;"As Above, So Below," adds the Hermetist.</p>
