Choosing fear perpetuates the false self and the world of illusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Home, peace, serenity is what I feel when I recognize my true Self. <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is home? I think of my mother; her brain stuck in confusion, asking to go home. She wants to leave the fear the confusion brings and be back to a place of safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Home is in Christ \u2026 to go back to where we belong, no longer separate and afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s no place like home.

In the beauty and excitement of Oz she carried fear of the unknown. For her, home, with its grayness, dust, and tornadoes, was still the safe place as it held the known for her. She found love in the unknown but still longed for the love and comfort of home, the known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, this world is the unknown. But I have found comfort here while I think I am separate from Christ. The Course teaches that Christ is our home and yet I am afraid because that is the unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am of Love. I admit it is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And yet, in the presence of my grand daughter it flows easily. I like that place \u2013 it feels like it could be a good home. Joy and light are present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christ be my home. Here, now, always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am at home.
