Freedom from Religious Oughtism

Apr 20, 2011


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!

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:

A group of Muslim religious leaders got together and began to talk on trivial matters. One of them inquired, "In a funeral procession, should one walk on the right side of the coffin or on its left?" The group was divided by a difference of opinion. Half said that they would walk on the right, the other half said that they would walk on the left. They decided to go to the sage Mulla Nasrudin and ask him. Mulla listened carefully and then said laughingly: "It doesn't matter, just as long as you are not on the inside."

What does this story say to you about the nature of religious and spiritual life? About your life? About G-D as you understand THAT?

By dissecting her petals, no one ever gathered in the beauty of the rose.

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

May you
Like all Creation

Live each Moment
In the Power of Life

May you not be touched by death
May you love Life
May you share Life
May you be Life

So, say from the Heart...

I AM Life
I AM Life
I AM Life

Peace! Peace! Peace!
