One Love – What Is a Spiritual Life
Many people ask me, “What is a spiritual life?” This question comes up often, especially since the Star of Light’s One Love philosophy is centered around that idea. Spirituality vs. Religion: A Different Foundation For us, a spiritual life is a conscious, energy-based way of living. It focuses on personal growth, which is somewhat different […]
Spirituality – Supplements
Many people have asked me what I eat for spirituality, meaning how I use food to support health, happiness, and well-being. Over the years, I have come to appreciate several supplements that seem to help my energy. Up until the age of 70, I took nothing, not even an aspirin. But after I turned 77, […]
Spirituality – It Starts with a Mindset
Spirituality is the most searched topic on One Love, so I decided to write about it a little more. Spirituality begins with a mindset. You have to want to work with your energy, whether it is mental, emotional, or physical. This is the foundation of spirituality. Energy Is the Heart of Spiritual Growth When you […]
Spirituality – Idols and Quan Yin
In our house we have about six statues of Quan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of love and compassion, placed in different rooms. She symbolizes purity and is beautiful to look at. One statue is made of wood, several are carved from stone, and one is made of jade. Near my computer, I keep a rose […]
Spirituality – The Altar
We seldom used that room before, but now it has become my favorite, perhaps even more than my bedroom. Why? Because I can relax and meditate while looking at objects that have meaning to me. I feel safe there. A Sacred Space for the Soul It may sound a little unusual, but when you have […]
One Love – Believing vs Experiencing in God
In one of the blogs this week, I said that there is no reason to believe in the traditional religious God, just experience God, the real God who put energy into the universe. We promulgated that there is no heaven or hell. These are just states of consciousness. It caused an uproar. What about Jesus? […]
Spirituality — Evening Ritual
Many people ask how to become more spiritual. I find one of the simplest ways is through an evening ritual centered around dinner. We all eat every day, and preparing food with love, then offering a blessing, is a meaningful way to honor what we receive and gently introduce spirituality into daily life. Gratitude at […]
Spirituality – The Breakfast Ritual
In yesterday’s blog, we wrote about a full moon ritual to honor an important celestial presence. However, there is another ritual that everyone practices, often without realizing it: the ritual of eating breakfast. There are two approaches. One is a quick cup of coffee, something sweet, and a rush off to the news, the internet, […]
Spirit — New House Full Moon Ritual
Yesterday was a full moon, and we held our first full moon ritual in five years at our new home. Life had been so busy that we had not gathered in this way for a long time. We wanted to honor the moon and the planetary alignments occurring at the same time, including eclipses. So […]
Love & Peace — All at One Time
After spending days watching videos and following the unfolding news about North Korea, China, Russia, Venezuela, and Cuba, it’s hard not to be deeply moved by the current state of world affairs. So many people are suffering, yet now, in several places, there’s a real possibility of change. I have numerous friends from these countries, […]
