The Microcosm within the Macrocosm

As Deepak Chopra states:
As is the atom, so is the universe.
As in the microcosm so is the macrocosm.
As above so below.
As is in the human body, so it is in the cosmic body.
As is in the human mind, so it is in the cosmic mind.

And Madame Bavatsky from The Secret Doctrine states:
As above so it is below, as in heaven so on earth;
and man - the microcosm and miniature copy of the macrocosm -
is the living witness to this Universal Law and to the mode of its action".

The outer world is a macrocosm of the inner world - the microcosm. Yet this is infinitely more complex than the physical universe and it vibrates at a higher rate.

Jesus said: "The kingdom of God is within you." The Bible says that we were created “in the image of God” (Genesis 1:27). We were created “like” God. Essentially, what this means is that man is a reflection of God. We are a miniature version of the universe. Within this human body lies the microcosm of the entire universe.

The microcosm (internal) is within the macrocosm (external). We are gods within God.
