Saying For Today: While we easily see external motions, there are deep, interior movements that are as real and are even more essential to the ongoing Faith pilgrimage.
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!
Arem lives and trains in the tradition of the CosmicChrist and Universal LOVE-Mysticism... Love IS Arem's Religion

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.
*Kahlil Gibran

Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment.
*Henry David Thoreau
To be alone by being part of the universe—fitting in completely to an environment of woods and silence and peace. Everything you do becomes a unity and a prayer. Unity within and without. Unity with all living things—without effort or contention. My silence is part of the whole world’s silence and builds the temple of God without the noise of hammers.

One of the best known of the Desert Fathers of fourth-century Egypt, Saint Sarapion the Sindonite, traveled on pilgrimage to Rome. Here, Saint Sarapion was told of a celebrated recluse, a woman who lived in one small room, never going out. Skeptical about her way of life, for he was himself a great wanderer, Sarapion visited her and asked, “Why are you sitting here?” She replied, “I am not sitting, I am on a journey.”

"Our situation [as Christians], say the Greek [Church] Fathers, is like that of the Israelite people in the desert of Sinai: we live in tents, not houses, for spiritually we are always on the move. We are, on a journey through the inward space of the heart, a journey not measured by the hours of our watch or the days of the calendar, for it is a journey out of time into eternity."
*Bishop Kallistos Ware, The Orthodox Way.

Silence and Solitude is not simply a time of inactivity. Outwardly, it appears one is still, motionless. However, the pilgrimage continues in the closet of interior prayer. Possibly, the most important movement in the Christ journey is the movement within the Silence and Aloneness. While we easily see external motions, there are deep, interior movements that are as real and are even more essential to the ongoing Faith pilgrimage. The outer aspects of the pilgrimage can only rightly be lived, rejoiced in, and shared with other persons when joined with the pulsations of the Spirit that take place deep within the heart of hearts during Silence and Solitude.

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