All life is just an idea

I was born into a highly dysfunctional family, who generally thought that they were better than they were.  Childhood was not a good time for me and in my early teens, when others were thinking about GCEs, I stepped out into the world, seeking answers to the meaning of life.  I didn’t realise it at the time, but what I was looking for was love.

I travelled far and wide and sat at the feet of gurus and self-styled leaders who purported to know the answers to life.  None of them did.  They simply had their version, their idea, and so I would move on to the next, forever searching.  It felt that the versions of love that they were talking about seemed based in a strange idea that I was to love them as the teacher and the fountain of knowledge.  This seemed a very one way deal.

One day I walked into a community.   That is community as in the 1960s sense of the word.  I walked into an ashram/spiritual community/yoga centre, whatever you would call it; anyway, I walked in and the first thing that the first person I met said to me was, “Who are you?” I said, “Hi, my name is Sean”.  “No”, he said, “That is your label.  Who are you?”  He pointed at my chest, at my heart. “Who’s in there, what is your love about?”
 

I had never thought of “me”, my body, as being “not me”, if you see what I mean?  Come to that, I had never thought about love as a kind of love, I had thought of love as just love, as though it were some homogenised thing.  I guess the point is that he, Kevin that is, made me think.  That sentence, that idea and that interaction changed my life. 

In many ways, it changed it there and then at that very moment.  From then on, I plunged into study, study of matters psychological, philosophical, metaphysical, spiritual and scientific.  I needed to know the answer to that question, “Who am I and what was love?” Someone, somewhere must know. Strange how just a simple idea can open a door or change a direction.  Yet I guess that all good things, and bad things come to that, begin with an idea.  Ideas are powerful things that change you, me and the entire world.  This blog and my life and work are about an idea, an idea that changed me and my understanding.  It was an idea that could do exactly the same for you. It is this.  All there is in the world is energy.  The only energies that truly affect us are those of love and hate.  Love brings us together and hate pushes us apart.  The strange thing is that it is only when you contact your inner love that you find yourself and begin to understand the answers to life, the universe and everything.

Love comes in many packages.  The love of your body, the love of your family and friends, the love of your experience of the wonder and newness of life, your love of yourself and the wonderful manifestation that you are, the love of the knowledge and knowing that explains how the universe is as it is, the love of the deep intuitive understanding that explains why the universe is the way that it is, the love of inspired creativity that creates what we all become and the universal love that is the inner core of all that is. The alternative is hate.  In love, we fall together.  In hate, we fall apart. Who can you fall together with?

Take care.
