I receive a lot of feedback about Jesus. He represents God’s love, salvation, and hope—very powerful and meaningful ideas. He is associated with divine love and peace, as well as redemption, forgiveness, and eternal life. The reason I started the One Love program is because I believe Jesus was right on, but the Church, in my view, missed the mark. It relied on fear, control, and the concept of sin. I never believed that was the best path. I believe that God lives within each of us and that our soul never dies.
The Mystery of the Eternal Soul
The idea that the soul is eternal is reflected in Jesus appearing after his crucifixion. Muslims, for example, do not believe that Jesus died on the cross. His tomb was found empty, and some traditions say he lived for many years afterward. There are many unanswered questions about his crucifixion, whether it truly happened, where Jesus was born, and even when. What we do know is that he was a rabbi who taught the Torah, and his message gave hope to the masses. Life was difficult in those times, and people often did not live very long.
Salvation vs. Personal Responsibility
Let’s consider the parallels between One Love and Jesus’ teachings. Both say that God is within you, yet the Church teaches that you need Jesus for salvation. That raises an interesting question: what if salvation isn’t something you need to be rescued from, but rather a set of principles that support your body, mind, and spirit? Religions often say to pray, give to charity, and be good, but how many people actually live that consistently?
Living the Principles
In One Love, we all breathe. We can all meditate. We can all eat healthy food and take care of our bodies, and many of us already do. What’s wrong with that? Nothing at all. The difference lies in how it is framed. One Love says you can do it yourself, that you can believe in yourself and take responsibility for your actions. The idea that everyone is born with sin doesn’t resonate with us. Instead, we see karma, past lives, and lessons to learn, not sin. If anything, ignorance and actions that harm others are what create suffering.
Universal Values and Sacred Geometry
Our bodies are designed for service. Our souls serve our bodies and energy. Helping others feels natural because it brings fulfillment. One Love values are not church-driven; they are universal structures rooted in sacred geometry and the principles of numbers. There is no fear or control in these values, only guidance that supports the body and enhances the ability to live fully.
The values associated with Jesus were formalized under Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicaea to unify people. Over time, many of Jesus’ attributes have become common sense, even if they are not fully practiced today. One Love offers tools to integrate those values into daily life and actively create love and peace.
