Peterson used American slang for The Message, and he admits he could have researched it better. But the phrase "as above, so below" is from a legendary (mythical) book of magic called The Emerald Tablet, part of the Hermetica, by a probably fictitious Hermes Trismegistrus.
We, as Christians, should live in the style "as above, so below".
If occultists, satanists, buddhists, spiritists, masonry, secret organizations, aliens on Mars and who else exists want to use this phrase in various meanings, its their fight, its not related to us.
Your reasoning is totally irrelevant to a Bible translation question.

Maybe Eugene Peterson thought he was coining a new and original phrase. Is the phrase "as above so below" a WELL KNOWN OCCULT AXIOM? I will be content with a yes, no or I don't know answer from you.

It wouldn't have made a difference if Esau knew what God hated or not would it, according to the letter God hated him from the womb.... note I said according to the letter.

You were so quick to come to the defense of the Peterson's rendering of Matthew 6:10 and now you cannot answer a simple question! You should do a bit more research before you dive into the conversation.
