Let’s stop searching and just go home!
As we look at the things in our lives that we place importance on we should seek to understand why. To analyze the reasons why things appear on our list of importance in the order of priority is an important question as we begin to understand more about ourselves and how we relate to the world around us.
Many things in our lives become important for many reason. To some it matters what other people think. To many the level of education of OTHERS around us seems to be of some importance. Socioeconomic status, what we do for a living, where we are living and what we are driving all find their way somewhere on the list of things that we are concerned about.
Notice how our lists are filled with material things or perceptions of things outside of ourselves. So, why are these things important? This is a question I leave up to each one of you to ask of yourselves …about your own personal lists.
At any rate, none of those things I mentioned will lead any closer to the one thing that really should appear first on the list…finding the supreme essence of who we are as spiritual beings . This reaches far beyond the physical existence of the ego, of our need to serve it and nourish it.
People are searching for peace and harmony in their lives. That search is causing them to look ahead, forward, outside of their inner self; the search is driving them further and further away from themselves. And the more they search, the more they look outside ,the further they get from finding it. We need to learn who we are on the deepest level. Accept that person. Love that person. Nurture that person. Grow that person. Believe in that person. Express the desires of that person. Let that person shine and Beam for that person is YOU!
The challenge is to give that person a chance to speak out, to wave a flag and show you that they’re right there with you, in you…screaming out to you to STOP looking ……and realize that leaving “your house” to find “a home” will never work…….and if you continue on that path you will never truly find your home.
My hope is for each and every one of us to be able to look in a mirror one day and simply say “It’s good to finally be home”. And when you do please call me up and invite me over. I will do the same
