Prayer As Being Loved

Seeing One Looking At You

May 11, 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!

"Touch me ...
Take me to that other place ...
Teach me ...
I know I'm not a hopeless case"

And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

*Kahlil Gibran

Here is a simple spiritual exercise the great Christian mystic Teresa of Avila recommended. Likewise, you can use another person, other than Jesus. Anyone, in fact, that inspires you to faith and spiritual growth can be chosen.

Imagine you see Jesus standing before you ... He is looking at you ... Notice him looking at you ...

Teresa wrote: "Notice that he is looking at you, lovingly and humbly.

* * *

Teresa of Avila had a Sister who did this form of meditation. She would do this for hours at a time. But she always felt only aridity in her Prayer. When asked what she did in Prayer, she said, "I just allow myself to be loved."

* * *

I encourage you to try the above meditation. I urge you to go in with the heart-disposition, "I'm going to just let myself be Loved."

We are Islands in the Stream of Life, here to Make Love, we're all naturally Lovers, and there are many ways to Make Love... In whatever form, it is the only Real Thing... and there can never be anything wrong with True Love...

* * *

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

* * * CLOSING BLESSING * * *

The Sacred in Me bows to the Sacred in You
