You ever just sit and think about how the universe might be hiding in the ocean? Like, what if everything we’ve been looking for up there—galaxies, wormholes, the secrets of existence—is actually down there, deep in the trenches, where the light doesn’t reach?
That’s the thing about as above, so below—it’s not just some mystical catchphrase from the Emerald Tablet. It’s a code, a mirror, a loop. The same patterns that shape the cosmos shape us. The same way the stars burn out, we burn out. The way the tides move, we move. And if the universe expands endlessly outward, what if it also expands endlessly inward?
People say the ocean is the key to space, and I don’t think they mean it metaphorically. We’ve explored, what, like 5% of it? And somehow we think we understand the sky better than the water that literally keeps this planet alive. Deep-sea trenches look like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, bioluminescent creatures glowing like little galaxies in the dark. The deeper you go, the more it feels like you’re in another world. Maybe because you are. Maybe because it’s all the same thing.
As within, so without. As above, so below.
What if every journey to “out there” is really a journey to “in here”?
And if thats true, if everything is a reflection of everything else, then what we put out comes back to us, in one form or another. Call it karma, call it cause and effect, but you can’t throw stones into the water and expect no ripples. The universe doesn’t forget energy, it just recycles it.
So maybe the key to the stars isn’t just in the ocean or the cosmos- it’s in us. The way we move through the world, the energy we send out, the waves we make. What if the only way to reach the heavens is to get our own frequency right first?
Maybe the universe isn’t something we have to chase– it’s something we have to align with. The same way the tide knows when to rise and fall, maybe we’re meant to move in rhythm with something bigger than us. And if as above, so below is real, then every choice, every ripple, every bit of energy we put out is already shaping the world we’re stepping into next.
