Cosmos in Man
About This Book
Saraydarian's exploration of the correspondence between the structure of the cosmos and the structure of the human being — developing the ancient Hermetic principle "as above, so below" into a comprehensive cosmological and anthropological vision. The book covers the seven planes of the solar system and their correspondence with the seven principles of the human constitution, showing how genuine self-knowledge and cosmic knowledge are, at a deep level, the same inquiry.
What You'll Learn
The human being is a microcosm of the cosmos — the same principles, forces, and laws that govern the solar system operate within the human constitution, which is why genuine self-knowledge is simultaneously a form of cosmic knowledge. The seven planes of existence — physical, astral, mental, buddhic, atmic, monadic, logoic — correspond to seven levels of consciousness available to the human being at progressive stages of spiritual development. Understanding the cosmic context of human existence — the vast timescale of the soul's journey, the hierarchy of consciousness above and below the human level — naturally produces both humility and inspiration in the sincere spiritual aspirant.
