In science, the term observer effect refers to changes that the act of observation will make on a phenomenon being observed. This is often the result of instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A commonplace example is checking the pressure in an automobile tire; this is difficult to do without letting out some of the air, thus changing the pressure. This effect can be observed in many domains of physics. The observer effect on a physical process can often be reduced to insignificance by using better instruments or observation techniques. However in quantum mechanics, which deals with very small objects, it is not possible to observe a system without changing the system, so the observer must be considered part of the system being observed. wiki
These words circulate throughout occult and magical circles, and they were recorded in Hermetic texts, although they originate in the Vedas.[citation needed] The concept was later laid out in The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, in the words "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above, corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing". In accordance with the various levels of reality (physical, emotional, and mental), this relates that what happens on any level happens on every other. This is, however, more often used in the sense of the microcosm and the macrocosm. The microcosm is oneself, and the macrocosm is the universe. The macrocosm is as the microcosm, and vice versa; within each lies the other, and through understanding one (usually the microcosm) you can understand the other.[

The one thing consists of the seen and the unseen. The unseen is the source of all.
This that is here presently both is and isn't.

i have always believed that the statement AS ABOVE SO IS BELOW is related to atoms .
looking at an atom under a microscope it looks like a planet system with the sun in the centre and neighbouring planets surrounding it .

No. The ytterbium atom casts a shadow remarkably similar to the spiral of the Milky Way galaxy. The known universe, when mapped, shows astounding similarities to neurons. As above, so below. Nothing religious about it. It's simply an observation of the evidence suggesting that the same physiological principles that govern the celestial bodies also play an intrinsic role in the biology of our humble planet and its inhabitants, right down to particle physics.
Spirituality incorporates these findings into its celebration because the significance of such discoveries supports the appreciation they have for the beauty and magic they feel in the universe.edit on 10-5-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
i agree and disagree i incorporate the as above so below into my religious beliefs.

All science is doing is explaining in words what is already the case. Science is trying to understand what is.
It is not a puzzle, it is art.

That's what science is doing. People, however, are not. In their attempts to define what is, they try to change what is because they fall short of what it is and try to force it to fall short with them. In this way, all of reality becomes limited as we insist that reality conforms to our understanding rather than conforming our understanding to what really is.
Science cannot exist without people so I fail to understand - people are scientists.
Can you look to find what is actually going on - one must look directly at 'what is' without going to information from other peoples finding - it must be done presently.
