They believe everything in the world is similar to everything in human. The origin of the theory of Macrocosm and Microcosm and the theory of organic society can be traced back to Plato; however, these origins could be traced back and detected in the attitudes of other philosophers and nations before Plato. Having specifically clear-cut views in theological issues, Abu Moin Nasser Ibn Ghobadiyani –the theosophist, the poet and the writer of the 5th century A.H. (After Hejra or departure of prophet Muhammad from Mecca)- has expressed and proved his own views utilizing terms such as Macrocosm or Jahane Mahin, Microcosm or Jahane Kehin, Macropeople and Micropeople, and in his prose works such as Jame-ul-Hekmateyn, Zad-ul-Mosaferin, Khan-ul-Ikhwan, Vajhe Din, Goshayesh va Rahayesh, he has used these terms in order to teach and disseminate his religious faith. Finally, he has considered the Microcosm as the ultimate goal of creation.
