Imagine you are the earth. Deep within you contains a core, this core is made up of all your core values and beliefs. They aren't always the most obvious to see or understand as they are buried so deeply within and were formed quite early on in our lives. They can be accessed and changed in our lives, think of this as the volcanic eruptions that might happen.

The surface of this earth is a result of the deeply held beliefs and values. The identity of them and then the appreciation and understanding we have of them make us who we are. With the identification and understanding of them we will have a love for our planet, a love for ourselves. This self love shows itself on the surface of our planet, having a total love and acceptance of ourselves manifests as abundant life and a beautiful healthy planet.

Our relationships are the trees on this planet. Each one starting off as a seed, growing roots deep into the earth below. These roots are the foundations the relationships are grown from. Beautiful fertile soils are the optimum for maximising growth and come from having a strong self love. Rocky outcrops are the sites for relationships where dishonesty or a lack of self love is present. As we nurture and grow relationships they begin to strengthen, withstanding strong winds brought on by external factors in our lives beyond our control.

Each tree can grow to develop seeds of its own, these are the relationships we gain as a result of the original relationship we made. Some relationships can bring us such abundance that we end up with a forest of magnificent trees in our lives. Other trees might only ever attract the growth of luscious vegetation and magnificent wild life. These Relationships shouldn't be undervalued as they bring stability to our soil. In turn the fruits of these relationships might come from vegetation surrounding, hiding in the most intricate of places ready to surprise us when we least expect it in our lives. See them as the love and support we receive form others.

We live in an ever expanding universe that is filled with individual planets, each one with its own core and surface conditions. We are all interconnected, sharing space and connections. The space can be peaceful, planets orbiting predictably or they might be chaotic. Collisions happening as a result of the ego taking hold of a planet too often.

In this model I would say that our purpose in life is to create and maintain a beautiful abundant planet. We should all feel the love and support of others in our lives. Fundamentally we should all first learn to accept and love ourselves.
