I will be still an instant and go home.
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.
Be still an instant and go home with Him, and be at peace a while. (W-pI.182A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 182, .1:1-4;3;8:1;12:9. See also ACIM Lesson 182 Insights.)
We do not have to accept the chaos of the world we seem to live in as our reality. Only Love is real. It is One, whole, complete and changeless. We can be certain of our safety and peace in the world of Love. Love is God’s world and our true Home.
Only our mistaken belief that we have left this Home and lost the safety of God’s Love could make this chaotic world seem real. While we hang on to this belief, we are unaware of our real Home in Love. Yet we miss our connection with His Love. We long to return to It. Yet within our belief in separation from God, it is impossible to find the Love that would satisfy our longing. His Love surrounds us yet we are unaware of Its safety and comfort.
We have been given a Guide from beyond our mistaken beliefs Whose eternal presence in our mind is ready to guide us back to our true Home. We need only question the reality of our perceptions and be willing to turn peacefully to this Guide within for help.
He speaks to us in forms we can understand and shows us how to see the eternal Presence of Love beyond all appearances in the world. We will find our way Home by frequently turning in peace throughout the day to our inner Guide in our mind for help. We step back and let Him lead the way.
