Welcome to OneLife Ministries, an online ministry of Brian Kenneth Wilcox Ministries and Love Light Fellowship. This site is here to lead you into a heart experience of Divine Presence, Who is Love. We recognize “that of the Sacred in each one” and celebrate the diversity of expressions of our Oneness in Grace. We are for peace and nonviolence, and equal rights and justice for all. I hope persons of varied wisdom paths will find inspiration here. Welcome!
You are invited to join Brian at Love Light Fellowship on Facebook. For other Facebook sites by Brian, contact Brian by message at Brian Kenneth Wilcox, on Facebook.
Entering the Inner Sanctuary
Enter this sanctuary time by settling down, becoming quiet, and breathing deeply a few breaths. Remind yourself you are in the Presence of Love. This place you are entering, within, is the inner Temple. Here, you are One with Spirit and all persons, and Nature. You may use a mantra, or prayer phrase, follow the breathing in-and-out, or witness the arising and falling of all around you as the manifestation of universal-Grace. Enjoy these moments of Quiet and come out when you are ready.

Spiritual Teaching
Thich Nhat Hanh tells, in Peace is Every Step, of asking some children, “What is the purpose of eating breakfast?” One little boy replied, “To get energy for the day.” Another child answered, “The purpose of eating breakfast is to eat breakfast?”
Hanh tells of being asked by an artist, “What is the way to look at a flower so that I can make the most of it for my art?” Hanh replied, “If you look at it in that way, you cannot be in touch with the flower. Abandon all your projects so you can be with the flower with no intention of exploiting it or getting something from it.”
My Friends, can you listen deeply to the world around you, relaxing need to make the moment into a project? Can you be here, now, without having to be on to somewhere else? Will you explore ways you may use persons for your goals, rather than appreciating them for who they are, and seeking to listen deeply, compassionately to them, not telling them who they are to be, what they are to do, and what you expect from them? You may be surprised at how much healing can happen in your heart, and that of the other, by simply Quiet Being With in Appreciation.
*"You are the Light of the World"
You may choose to sit for twenty minutes, alone, quiet, and smiling, reflecting on the wonder of the Moment, being fully present with gratitude. And remember...
You are a Flower of Glorious Grace Blooming in the Garden of Eternal Spring
Yes, You are the Kiss of Goddess Upon this beautiful world and sky, joining
The majesty of heaven with earth Lovely One, here, now
See, You are the Joy in the Heart of God You are the SunLight flowing from Her Eyes
Remember: Wonderful Presence! Beautiful Presence? That is who you are: yes, YOU
*Brian Kenneth Wilcox. “Wonderful, Beautiful You”
