After being away from our family home for awhile, we look forward with fresh anticipation to going home.
We feel the same
after we have long been away
from our Creator-Sustainer
A deep yearning causes us to search for our innate roots, the womb of our origin. We have gone out into the world, experienced 'life' with its pains and pleasures, happiness and sadness. We never found a lasting happiness from those experiences. What we sought was not outside of ourselves.
To go home, is to experience the peace and love arising from our self-effulgent heart center, the core of our being. We find that all the love and happiness we have ever wanted is already available to us, every moment, without fail.
The outer journey of going away from h (om) e to seek happiness was not fruitless. We found irrefutably that the world did not hold a continuous thread of happiness joining life's adventure together.
The silver thread that weaves its way through life's journeys is our own outlook, realization of being the peace, being the love. What we seek out in the world is what we already are in the home of our soul. We are the joy, the peace, the love. They are part of the makeup of us just as surely as could ever imagine. But we have been imagining they are outside in the world, instead of realizing they are in the home of our heart.
The great experiment, the ultimate goal of our existence is to find that the qualities that we seek to make us happy, are actually already an integral part of our existence. And the way to find these qualities within ourselves is through practice—practice in being kind and caring, practicing meditation, practicing holding positive and unselfish attitudes. After practicing we soon realign with the peace and joy within.
Having discovered
Uncovered
Activated
our inner place of peace and joy
we can really enjoy our nuclear family
our world family
warmly
fully
