This world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the voice, nor what it is the voice reminds you of. Yet still you feel an alien here, from somewhere all unknown.
We speak today for everyone who walks this world, for he is not at home. He goes uncertainly about in endless search, seeking in darkness what he cannot find; not recognizing what it is he seeks. A thousand homes he makes, yet none contents his restless mind. He does not understand he builds in vain. The home he seeks can not be made by him. There is no substitute for Heaven. All he ever made was hell.
When you are still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that instant He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at home.
Be still an instant and go home with Him, and be at peace a while. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 182,W-pI.182.1:1-4;3;8;12:9. See also ACIM Lesson 182 Insights.)
Our investment in the illusions of the world, in valueless ideas, prevents us from knowing the stillness, joy and certainty of our Home in God. Each time we let go of value we have given to a form of belief in separation, we open an opportunity to let God’s peace come in. We experience, at least for an instant, the comfort of our Home with our Father. We may come back to our activities in the world but the experience of the strength of God that is our Home stays in our mind.
As we practice this more, we become more aware of the strength of Love in us. We recognize, more and more, that same Love in our brothers whom we once called our enemy. Let us join together today in the practice of stepping back from our perceptions of the world and going to the peace within us where we can taste the comfort of our true Home.
