Where is home? It is the clear reality of the individual mind I call my own, fully merged with countless other beings, the most intimate family I know. This is my true Group. Where is home? It is the unbroken memory and ever-present vivid experience of all past lives, countless rich experiences on myriad worlds—learning in joy and sorrow, passing from ignorance to enlightenment. This is my Self. Where is home? It is the fluid embrace and grandeur of being, a transcendent passion of union with the One Creator whose body is the entire Universe. This is my world. True home, for all of us, is realizing endless awareness, endless meaning and endless value in each iota of matter, thought, and circumstance. This is Godhead.

In Theravada Buddhist meditation, the fundamental goal is insight - direct contact and knowledge of self and phenomena as-it-is, developing a clear vision of that which is beyond change. In Sanskrit terminology, this is considered awareness of sunyata , also called emptiness, impermanence, insubstantiality, and the illusory nature of all that is conditioned, all that arises and passes away.

My real home is a state of unbounded awareness in tremendous unity; this is the place from which I am estranged during my life on Earth. My homesickness is the pain of having lost this beautiful, open state of being..." True self is the true home; dwelling in boundless mind is the real homecoming; the entire spiritual path leads to the Original Home".

Misunderstanding is more than inevitable; it is built into the system. Confusion is absolutely integral to the process. It is the basic catalyst that leads to clarity.
