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]
