Some have suggested that the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm, which makes sense to me. An atom, for example, looks a lot like a solar system, as does the Earth with it's single moon. The human body has been viewed as a reflection if the workings of the universe (Da'Vinci's Vitruvian Man). Genesis (Bible) says that man(kind) was created in the image and likeness of God (elohiym), which agrees with Da'Vinci from a certain perspective.
"God" identified himself as
hayah 'asher hayah in Hebrew, translated "I AM THAT I AM" but which could also be translated "I AM WHAT EXISTS".
"Heaven" in Hebrew
Shamayim or
Shameh, meaning
the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move,
as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve). In Greek "heaven" is
Ouranios, meaning the same.
If we elevate above the atom we eventually arrive at a view of the Earth and moon... then the solar system... then the galaxy... then the Universe. What's beyond the Universe? More universes? A universe of universes? A universe of universes of universes...? Are these all the "heavens"? And is all of this a physical reflection of a greater reality?
Personally, my current belief is along the lines of God being "I AM WHAT EXISTS" and that mother gaea and the heavens are levels of manifestation, perception and elevation of, and into, that greater, ultimate reality which is the source of, and which encompasses, everything.
