Hermetics
The Hermetic tradition — from ancient Egypt through the Renaissance to modern application. The Seven Principles, the Emerald Tablet, and the art of mental alchemy. This is why we're called "As Above."
"As above, so below; as below, so above." — The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus

The Seven Hermetic Principles
The Principle of Mentalism: "THE ALL is MIND"
The universe is mental. Consciousness as fundamental reality, idealism vs. materialism, the observer effect, and practical implications for creating your reality.
The Principle of Correspondence: "As Above, So Below"
Pattern recognition across scales. Fractals, the holographic principle, microcosm and macrocosm, with applications for psychology, business, investing, and health.
The Principle of Vibration: "Nothing Rests; Everything Moves"
Everything in the universe vibrates at its own frequency. Matter, energy, mind, and spirit differ only in rate of vibration. Master your frequency to master your reality.
The Principle of Polarity: "Everything is Dual"
Opposites are identical in nature, differing only in degree. Heat and cold, love and hate, light and dark — poles of the same thing. Understanding polarity enables transmutation.
The Principle of Rhythm: "Everything Flows, Out and In"
The pendulum swing manifests in everything. Rise and fall, expansion and contraction, the tide of affairs. The Master neutralizes the swing through polarization.
The Principle of Cause and Effect: "Every Cause Has Its Effect"
Nothing happens by chance. There are no accidents in the universe — only unrecognized causes. Rise above the plane of effects to become a Causer rather than the caused.
The Principle of Gender: "Gender is in Everything"
Masculine and feminine principles exist on all planes. Creation requires both — the active and receptive, the projective and nurturing. This is not biological sex, but cosmic principle.
Practice
As Above, So Below
The name "As Above Technologies" comes directly from this tradition. We apply Hermetic principles to technology, markets, and the emerging convergence of AI and consciousness.
