Oh Man! Know thyself, and you will know the universe and the Gods. The Oracle of Delphi It is the advice of the Arabian gnostic Monoimus: Learn whence is sorrow and joy, and love and hate, and waking though one would not, and sleeping though one would not, and getting angry though one would not, and falling in love though one would not. And if thou shouldst closely investigate all these things, thou wilt find God in thyself, one and many, just as the atom; thus finding from thyself a way out of thyself. Page 19, Alan Watts, Two Hands of God: An Exploration of the Underlying Unity of all Things, 1987, Rider (Century), London, ISBN 0-7126-1694-2, first published by George Braziller, New York, 1963

As above, so below. As within, so without. Thank you for the reference to the Alan Watts book. I have ordered it now.
