I've had a wave of insights today and I need to keep posting it here while it's fresh. My friend sent me a blog on facebook today and the blog got me thinking.
Home. Where is it? What is it? Conceptually, it can be a variety of different things.
Home is a non-conceptual I AM beyond all fear and limitations of the human mind. When we die and leave our bodies, we will be back Home. Home with the Light. The Light of Source Being
But, how do we find our way home while incarnated? Well, we can never be truly 100 percent unlimited while in these human bodies. However, we can be less and less limited as I've written about in the past. Finding our way Home is a metaphor for exposing ourselves and opening ourselves up to life itself. Yoga is one the practices which utilizes the body as a way to find our path Home. The toughest and most challenging way through, is via the mind/body. Encountering every symptom in our body, every thought, every emotion, every feeling, every sensation of every cell in our body, feeling every aspect of it, including the hell that we might experience, feeling our way through it......is the only way through it. Talking about it is one thing. Actually experiencing it, is a whole notha.
Michael Brown author of 'The Presence Process" has a similar program. Granted, I don't follow his process to a tee, I think the approach makes sense. The only true way to salvation/liberation/HOME is through the body/mind, since the body/mind is our only vehicle/tool of experience while incarnated into humanity and if it is our only tool/vehicle to work with, then it also must be our only path Home.
You can't find your way Home in real life by avoiding the path that leads to your house. I was watching the Wizard of Oz on Thanksgiving with my niece. My goodness, I never realized the spiritual undertones of the movie. Dorothy couldn't find her way home out of Oz without following the yellow brick road. The Yellow Brick Road is a metaphor for experience itself. Dorothy wanted so badly to go Home, but the more she resisted, the more fear she had, the more stuck she was in Oz. Remember the ending when the good witch says "you could go home any time you like". Again, another metaphor for us here in humanity. We are always essentially Home and could realize it anytime we would like, if we would simply embrace our experience and stop resisting life so much. It wasn't until Dorothy followed the Yellow Brick Road and all of the challenges and pain it brought along the way, it wasn't until she opened up to what the Yellow Brick Road offered, that she was able to finally find her way home.
In the same way, you can't find your way to your true Home (your nature as Love) by avoiding the heart of your experience which often includes pain, heartbreak, physical illness and mental torment. Feeling our way through it means we embrace it all. We feel it all and experience it all. If we have doubts about our experience, we embrace those doubts. If we get caught in the ego perspective of the human experience, we embrace that too. If illness is a factor, we embrace that too. And underneath that experience is mere Love as we embrace the experience of experience.
Love flows freely while fear contracts and resists. Love illuminates the unknown into the Known, while fear keeps the unknown in the dark as the unknown.
Most of us fear that which we don't know. The only way through that fear is to illuminate the unknown by diving into it and feeling our way through it.
When we think of Home, we thank of safety, comfort and love. Home therefore, is the ultimate metaphor for Love, our true nature as Being. Opening up to that frequency is the only way Home.
Ultimately, we've always been Home and have never left, but we just have to realize it.
