In this audio recording, CA Brooks and Bruce Rawles talk about ACIM‘s Workbook Lesson 182, “I will be still an instant and go home.” This lesson – a favorite of many students of the Course including these two speakers – addresses our nostalgic longing for our real (unchanging, unchangeable) home in perfect, eternal innocence, peace and loving-kindness which contrasts with our original motivation for making up a nightmarish dream world where we can never find any lasting solace or comfort, although we rarely admit that this world isn’t working for us very well – if we’re honest with ourselves. It’s all about looking at the everyday thoughts in our minds and noticing that – if motivated by ego – they do not make us happy … but there is a thought system in our minds (based on a forgiveness that doesn’t condemn dream dramas or denizens) that does indeed lead to not only sustainable happiness but a genuine serenity that has no vulnerability or conditional gotchas.
“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. Nothing so definite that you could say with certainty you are an exile here. Just a persistent feeling, sometimes not more than a tiny throb, at other times hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but surely to return to mind again.” – W-pI.182
This latest audio conversation is another example of CA’s excellent regular ACIM internet radio program on 12Radio devoted to the spirituality of A Course in Miracles.
