Unveil the truth behind one of the most misquoted maxims in mystic history with John Gilbert, a military veteran turned Hermetic scholar. In "Not as Above, Not as Below: How We Got the Emerald Tablet Wrong," John challenges the well-known phrase “as above, so below,” a cornerstone of Western mystical and occult philosophy that supposedly encapsulates the "Law of Correspondence" between the macrocosm and microcosm. While not arguing for or against the validity of Correspondence in principle, Not as Above, Not as Below is a call to set the record straight on where these ideas came from, and what the "Emerald Tablet" may actually be talking about.

How traditional interpretations of the Hermetic text have been misguided and why this matters in understanding esoteric philosophy.
