One Life

The One Life is a central Theosophical concept that postulates everything in the universe comes from one single source.

H. P. Blavatsky wrote:

THE ONE LIFE—is deity itself, immutable, omnipresent, eternal. It is “subtle supersensuous matter” on this lower plane of ours.^[1]

This one life includes both what we call spirit and matter:

When we speak of our One Life we also say that it penetrates, nay is the essence of every atom of matter; and that therefore it not only has correspondence with matter but has all its properties likewise, etc. — hence is material, is matter itself.^[2]
