One Life in Love

I spent a big part of my life searching. But searching is not quite the right word. It was more like following a calling. A calling to understand what it means to be human: to live with love, in peace, and from honesty, and from there, to live from what is true.

It may have started when I was young, deeply enchanted by hip hop philosophy, by its roots in peace, truth, unity, and honest expression. Maybe still recognized by some, but slowly fading into the noise.

It may have resurfaced through heartbreak, through rejection, through moments close to death, and through visions I could not easily explain.

It may have deepened through Stoicism, Buddhism, and yogic philosophy.

It may have been confirmed again and again through different cultures and countries, and through the people I met along the way, each carrying their own reality.

Whatever it was, and probably it was all of it, I was on my way. Often with the feeling that I was moving against all odds.

What fascinated me in the deeper philosophies was not the goal of liberation or the gaining of siddhis, meaning extraordinary abilities. I found these ideas interesting, but they were never the center for me. What touched me more was the way the scriptures pointed toward truth as something lived fully inside life, through love.

I never felt drawn to liberation when it was understood as leaving the world behind for one’s own freedom. Something in me felt a contradiction between serving life and stepping away from it. I felt something similar with the idea of siddhis. What is the use of extraordinary abilities if we have not learned to use them for something greater than ourselves?

Spirituality is not escape. It has to return to life, to love, to the way we live.

I came to understand liberation as something deeply human. Liberated from false beliefs, from conditioning, and from the expectations of others, we come closer to ourselves. Free. Not free of pain, but free of suffering.

How do we liberate ourselves? By remembering our own truth and creating a life from there. By taking part in life without betraying what is true within us.

Why do I call it One Life in Love and not One Life in Peace or One Life in Truth?

Because love is the root. Fear is the opposing force, the movement that separates us from life, from others, and from ourselves. From fear come hatred, envy, control, and separation. From love come peace, trust, and the courage to meet what is true.

And this is where truth becomes difficult.

Truth has to be found in each of our hearts. But there is no universal truth in the form of a blueprint for our lives. Even what we call good and bad, right and wrong, is often shaped by the belief systems we live inside, or more simply, by the side we have picked. To find truth, we have to learn to leave the sides and inquire into ourselves. But we must be cautious. What we find can only be trusted as truth if it is free from hatred, envy, fear, and opportunism. Otherwise, it remains another illusion. Truth has to be found from a place of love.

Hence One Life in Love.

Not because the heart always leads us to an easy life, but because it leads us closer to a true one.

I never wanted to give my own discernment away. I wanted to remain a student of life. I listened to words, teachings, and traditions, and checked for myself whether I could find truth in them. I took what was mine and never gave it back. The rest I left for others.

It feels like I came full circle. Sometimes I ask myself: what was the use of all of this? Yet, in truth, I know. It was to remember what was always there, always inside of me. I had simply forgotten it.

From here, I created One Life in Love. It is my way of offering back what life has given me, shaped by what I have lived, received, questioned, and remembered.

This path has shaped the way I guide. Not by telling you what is true, but by holding a space in which you can find what is true within yourself.
