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!

Faith Affirmation of Love Light Fellowship
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another.
*Thomas Merton
And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

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:

I have never heard anyone say, “I love you with all my brain.” I have never told anyone, “My brain is overflowing with love for you.” Persons do say, “I love you with all my heart.” And, “My heart is overflowing with love for you.” I do know that on Valentines Day we do not give cards with the outline of the brain, but we do give cards with the outline of the heart.
When someone is grieving the loss of a lover or beloved, we say, “Her heart is broken” or “She broke his heart.” We do not say, “Her brain is broken” or “She broke his brain.” We do speak of love piercing the heart, when one is love struck, not that one has a pierced brain.
We cannot return to a time before the development of the frontal cortex, the center of human reasoning. We do not want to relinquish the brain. Indeed, likely, each of us can recall a time we were “following my heart” and ended up wishing we had listened more to "my head."
The life of holiness is a whole life. We will suffer if we do not continue to integrate thought and intuition, conceptuality and feeling. But, in a “heady” culture, many of us do not have our heart “touched” enough, while we hide from the threatening domain of feeling in the familiar landscape of reason.
I recommend you seek to get “in touch” with your heart, daily. How can you do that? Well, many ways. Write some poetry, even if you are not a poet. Watch a moving movie or film, and let yourself cry if it touches your heart enough. Write a letter to someone you love deeply. Listen to music that is "heart-warming." Tell persons you are close to, “I love you.” There are many ways to get in touch with your heart and to touch your heart, as well as touch the heart of others. May we do so, to be "heart-healthy."

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