Yes, I am familiar with hermeticism but that is not my particular area of philosophical study.
With regard to ‘as above, so below’ in particular, there are certain elements which are quite applicable to the island. But as you have witnessed, some do not believe in the physical possibilities of that concept.
As a side note, sometimes I find variants of that axiom help me see connections between disparate things that I didn’t notice before. Like, say, Charles Widmore and Benjamin Linus and “as it is on the island, so it is off the island.” Or perhaps Jacob and…wait, never mind, I’m not ready to continue that train of thought yet. Sorry.
Mr. Bentham, I’m just curious: Are you familiar with the axiom “as above, so below”?
