The Christian church is built upon the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Over time, many churches have used these ideas through rituals, emotion, and scripture to shape belief and guide followers. In my view, however, the deeper truth is much simpler. Divine Consciousness: The True Nature of the Holy Spirit What […]

What Is the Inner Child? The idea of the “inner child” is a powerful one. It represents who you were when you were young, your emotions, thoughts, and early behaviors. That part of you never disappears. It stays with you, influencing your reactions and shaping how you experience life. Psychologist Carl Jung described this as […]

The question of what love and peace truly are is as old as humanity itself. Everyone has their own interpretation, and One Love is built on exploring these meanings. Its purpose is simple: to help bring love and peace into people’s lives. The only way to do that is through understanding, because once people understand, […]

Each day, I find myself wondering what life is really about. I’m 77 years old and have raised four children, two of my own and two adopted. At this stage of life, I still have a great deal of energy, and I often reflect on the meaning of it all. When I was younger, this […]

As you grow older, certain realizations begin to settle in. One of them is how often life starts to repeat itself. If you’re fortunate enough to have earned enough to slow down and enjoy your remaining years, a persistent question arises: What is truly worthwhile? Look around, cities feel more crowded, sometimes less safe. You […]

After writing about Jesus and religion, it is time to focus on something that truly energizes us, an outdoor morning meditation. It is one thing to believe in traditional religion, but for us, spirituality is also about our energy and how we use it throughout the day. Religion may provide faith or a sense of […]

One of the most interesting aspects of the New Testament is the contrast between what Jesus is recorded as saying and what Paul later wrote. In the One Love perspective, we often refer to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount as one of his most significant teachings. Jesus and Paul: Two Different Voices Notably, this sermon […]

Who started Christianity and shaped the stories of Jesus as we know them today? To understand this, many historians point to Paul of Tarsus. Paul of Tarsus: The Man Who Never Met Jesus Paul was not one of the original twelve apostles appointed by Jesus, and according to tradition, he never met Jesus in person. […]

Our definition of spirituality is the use of energy for health, happiness, and overall well-being. In the Star of Light’s One Love perspective, we support life as a high expression of consciousness. From this viewpoint, when we eat meat or fish, we are consuming what was once a living being. In contrast, plant life is […]

As I get older, my relationship with food has changed significantly. When I was young, full of energy and hormones, I could eat almost anything without noticeable consequences. I remember working as a night manager at a McDonald’s in Silver Spring, Maryland in the early 1960s, back when they were selling millions of burgers, not […]

People often ask: What is the meaning of life? I think about this a lot, especially as I get older and become more aware of how limited time feels. Is there a single truth we are meant to understand, with everything else simply being part of our experience on Earth? My answer is yes, and […]

“God bless” is a common phrase today, but its origins are often described as more complex and, at times, interpreted in stark ways. The Old English word bledsian has been associated with consecration and religious ritual. Over time, however, the phrase “God bless” has evolved into something much softer, a way to express goodwill, protection, […]

Approximately 90 million people take cholesterol-lowering drugs. After I experienced a stroke, which I recovered from within a few weeks, doctors prescribed a statin medication. I took it for a year, but the side effects were severe. I had intense muscle aches and often felt extremely unwell. At the time, I was being treated through […]

Here is an interesting idea for a blog on atonement, the process of reconciling with God. Traditionally, this involves overcoming obstacles such as sin, as defined by the Church. Atonement is intended to bring God and humanity, once seen as estranged, back together as one. This is often pursued through acts of repentance, sacrifice, and […]

People have been discussing the meaning of duality for years. To us, it represents a separation from God. In other words, we develop an ego, and until we surrender its influence, we see ourselves as separate humans rather than as part of God’s greater whole. This separation is an illusion we create. The Two Parts […]
