Losing Your Identities

Mystical Death and Resurrection

May 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!

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

*Kahlil Gibran

”I must die to who I think I am, to realize who I Am.”

*Arem Nahariim-Samadhi

I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains by itself. But its death yields a plentiful harvest.

*John's Gospel 12.24. Christian New Testament.

The theme of the mystical death is not implying the loss of your Self, but the burial of the separate-self sense in the Divine Presence, where you are in One, spirit in Spirit. Also, the implication is the resurrection of the True Self, where you as a being-unified-with-others already exists. In dying to self, only the first self is dissolved. Yet, there is not oblivion. You are not lifeless, non-existent. Indeed, you do not feel less alive, but more alive. There is no annihilation, no loss. There is only transformation, and discovery. Yet, to fully enter this mystical transformation, or death-resurrection, one consents to detachment from all identities other than identification with the Divine Presence. This does not mean you do not utilize these identities in this world; this means you do that, as needed, but aware that those identities Are not You, but are being used by You for good on this Earth.

*Arem Nahariim-Samadhi

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

The Sacred in Me bows to the Sacred in You
