Over the years, many friends have told me they don't feel like they belong here. I think we all, at some time or another, have felt this way. What if, rather than us not belonging here, this "here" we speak of isn't what we think it is? What if we don't belong in this crazy world, but the world we see isn't reality? Perhaps our true home is something we've sensed is there, similar to seeing a movement out of the corner of your eye, but when you look directly at it, it's not there. For years I grasped at straws while ignoring these glimpses. We're not strangers in a strange land when we realize true substance isn’t what we can physically touch. So let's be still a moment and ask to know what that home we desire so badly truly is. When we’re not afraid to remember, shift happens!“Your Kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world. Only in this world is the idea of an authority problem meaningful. The world is not left by death but by truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was created, and for whom it waits.”
A Course in Miracles T-3.VII.6:8-11)
“If you launch your bark upon the ever-agitated but healthful waters of truth, you will encounter storms. Your good will be evil spoken of. This is the cross. Take it up and bear it, for through it you win and wear the crown. Pilgrim on earth, thy home is heaven; stranger, thou art the guest of God.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 254:27-30
