There are two layers to life, work and love. One is above the surface and one is below. Above the surface is how you look, how you feel, how you act, how you manifest your life in hard goods and tangible reality. It is important.

Below the surface there is another world. It is a world of sensations, emotions, moods and connections. No one sees this world. Your “above the surface” world is all people see. To detect what is below the surface, we must use our intuition. This intuition is possessed by everyone but understood by few, and trusted by even fewer.

The world above causes the world below. Many people confuse this. The spiritual seeker might say that if I meditate, I will achieve a good life. But this is false reality. If we live a good life, we will meditate. The above causes the below. “As above, So below”

The keys that cause our world above to succeed are the diametrically opposite rules to the ones that cause success below. The ego – drive, attachment, pride, lust, ambition, emotion give us victory above the surface while detachment, love, compassion and contentment (not wanting or desiring) create victory below. A fulfilled ego, often gives the space in life for the experience below the surface to be witnessed.

One woman came to me for a consult. She was meditating daily in order to find the inner space of love and peace. She was having an affair behind her husbands back, so her mind and heart were very disturbed during the day. She was achieving nice peace in her meditation but not so nice during her day.

She was not wrong or bad, she was simply meditating for the wrong reason and on the wrong topic. Inner peace comes from good living and compassion not from meditation. No meditation can counteract the disturbance that comes from self serving and conflicting values in everyday life. Meditation is different to this. It is, ultimately, about other, rather than self.

Meditation is simply a reminder. It reminds us, that before we do all these things in the day, we are something special anyway. Meditation can knock some of the fear and anxiety out of our lives by reminding us that we are, even without all the surface attachments and adornments, worthy of love. Meditation replaces our parents love, with universal love, when the time is right.

So, please be careful. The purpose of religious values is to give us some sense of outer peace, a moral code, a sense of alignment between what we do, and what we value. With such a life management process, the inner world comes to life. The two worlds one above the surface and one below, are really interconnected.

Loving acts of generosity, kindness and care lead to an outer harmony. Then the life below the surface can be opened. The role of meditation is to connect the two. There is nothing you need to do to improve the world below the surface. It already exists in absolute perfection. This is the very definition and purpose of spirituality. To discover that perfection exists already.

The world above the surface, the ego and the material experience of life, drives you to growth because it destroys the awareness of that perfection below the surface. We keep coming back to the world below, because the world above becomes disturbed. We loose touch with our inner peace, our inner harmony, not because we have not meditated enough, but because we have judged ourselves above the surface. Broken our own code of worthiness.

Finding true love comes from the inner world, that which exists below the surface. True love bypasses all the outer realms of our lives, sneaks in under the radar, and enters us. However, to sustain it, our outer world, above the surface, must be aligned.

Meditation connects you to love. This is the ultimate end. But if your outer world is corrupted, thoughts are judgemental, ideas are stuck, emotions are out of control, stresses are not worked through, materials are not seen as decorations then, love cannot survive. Finding true love requires the skill to become open and this is the key we so struggle to hold.

Open? The implication is perfect and beautiful. It means love is there, beneath the surface, crowded and clouded by the life we choose above the surface. To become open to love therefore means to arrange our outer world in such a way that it never, ever becomes a blockage? How?

With spirit and love
