The word "above" was used to mean "beyond", "separate", "different" etc, and does not mean any actual placement. When talking about spiritual experiences, words sometimes only point the direction and give the general idea. To make the above sentence clearer, I have changed it to read: "Regular meditation, and a true understanding and realization that the real you is beyond the mind and the body, can in time make this inner experience as the constant and regular state of consciousness."

May I make these two observations. 1. It is true that the daily mental barrage tends to make meditation a ready antidote but it does not need to be. True realization-bliss-enlightenment or whatever word you care to use for what you so aptly said was the Real You can be realized in any instant. 2. I wonder about the position of “above” referred to. The mind and body are certainly subservient to the Real You but as for location that could make for a very interesting discussion.
