Hi timie1999. Some very good insights there. I would say this though: life is quite real, as real and relevant as the insightful understanding you shared that one can 100% trust the universe and its nature. The key to knowledge, understanding and truth, is to investigate all reality in the way you describe, but without limiting that investigation with pre-conceived beliefs such as already having decided that some aspects are real and some are fake.

As above, so below indicates the below aspect (the material plane) is as important to the equation as the above aspect (the spiritual plane). The truth is we can come to great and wondrous understandings regarding human existence and the very purpose of life, by examining material plane reality. And as you pointed out, we do that by examining and reflecting upon how aspects of the spiritual plane (as above) are reflected in the material plane (so below).

Something else that relates to your "life is fake" comment: Hermeticism describes human existence as the dream of the All Mind. Essentially then, all physical creation and reality -- human life, the planets, stars etc. -- is the content of that dream.

Now, as above so below... Let's examine human dreams. When we dream, are the dreams we have, fake? No. Our dreams are quite real in that we actually did dream them. So while dreams are definitely not fake, at the same time, yes, they definitely are not "100% real" in the same way we experience physical-material existence in our awakened state. One can see then that the question, "What is real?" is in fact a multi-layered, multi-dimensional puzzle.
