Welcome to OneLife Ministries, an online, interspiritual-integral ministry of Arem Nahariim-Samadhi 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!

We love the Universal, through the particular; the Universal loves us, through the particular.

You are Treasured, You are Sacred ... You are Beautiful. You...
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. The following video is provided, for those who would like meditative music to accompany your Quiet contemplation:

The Way of the Heart... The Way of Being Seduced by LOVE
* * *
A man was engaged in Ph.D. studies in Philosophy. His wife one day came to realize how devoted he was to his studies, when she asked him, "Why is it you love me so much?"
He replied, quickly, "When you say 'so much,' are you referring to intensity, depth, frequency, quality, or duration?"

To say, "God is a Mystery" is to say "Love is a Mystery." We can no more define Love, than we can God. Whatever God is, whatever Love is, to experience them deeply requires a passing through the limits of logic to an Infinity and Eternity found at the center of who you and I truly are. If we return to that center, we shall know God, though we speak of That differently among ourselves, and we shall know Love, though we speak of That differently among ourselves. But the person intolerable of Mystery shall be both intolerable of God and Love, though he or she may dabble in both or create caricatures that mimic the Real.
By dissecting her petals, no one ever gathered in the beauty of the rose.

Mystical contemplation is not only for a certain disposition of persons or a spiritual elite. Every person who desires can become aware of the Presence of the Divine as a daily way of living in Love, with Love.

The Essence of LOVE-Mysticism is to look "within," to find there the Light of G-D That is in Everyone...

I am one with my father and the universe. I am one with mother earth. I am one with everyone within the reach of my voice. And, in this togetherness, we ask the divine intelligence to eradicate all negatives from our hearts, from our minds, from our words, and from our actions. And, so be it.
