Principles

"Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end." Rumi

Our core Principles

Our core Principles are comprised of individual and collective life experiences, years of spiritual learning and seeking, and a continual tapping in to the eternal, ever-evolving expansion of Consciousness, the Real. At The One Center, Love belongs to Oneness; an awakened heart, a clear mind, and a body aware of its gravity are doorways connecting us to all levels of existence. Consciousness means a celebration of our uniqueness as a part of a whole, as One note in the symphony of life.

What guides us

Love is the highest vibration on the planet. Love is like the deepest feeling or experience of appreciation. The tasting and experience of Love can move our hearts in ways that words of love cannot come close! The sharing of, the presence of, the giving of, and the embodiment of Love is the foundation for which The One Center Austin is built.

Love is a force of nature. However much we may want to, we cannot command, demand, or disappear love, any more than we can command the moon and the stars and the wind and the rain to come and go according to our whims. Love is bigger than you [we] are.

Love is inherently free. It cannot be bought, sold, or traded in its purest form. You cannot make someone love you. Love cannot be imprisoned nor can it be legislated. You can even find yourself loving people you don’t like at all. Love does not come with conditions, stipulations, addenda, or codes. Like the sun, love radiates independently of our fears and desires. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself.
