This (Fake) World is Not Your Home

“There’s no place like home.”

Dot from Kansas repeated that mantra over and over again while clicking her sparkly red heels together, and in the end she finally woke up on the other side of that rainbow and realized that she had never left home and it was all just a crazy dream. The “Great and Powerful Oz” turned out to be some bro’s ego trying to play God, and once everybody shook off their poppy coma and looked behind the curtain, they realized that what they thought they somehow lacked was within them all along.

Sound familiar?

A Course in Miracles is based on a similar psycho-spiritual philosophy. (Btw, I tried to make that all one word and the ego mind aka autocorrect kept trying to make it two words: psycho spiritual, lol – which is probably exactly how the ego would describe ACIM. I swear to God you can’t make this stuff up.)

Anyway, let’s just agree that the Course is a psychological and spiritual thought system, which presents reality very differently than the way in which we as the collective Son of God have been taught to think about and believe that it works.

The major theme of A Course in Miracles is that this world is not our home – because there is no world.

The one we appear to be living in is actually a dream, an illusion, a mass hallucination made up by our ego minds to avoid an imaginary wrath of God.

Say what? As in, we made the Cosmos? I can hardly even do math.

I know it feels freaky, the thought that the world is fake. That’s because we’ve been told by our equally false separated mind that it’s real literally since time began.

But to me, it’s very reassuring to know that this is NOT our reality – this f*cked-up place where terrible things happen and brothers attack one another in countless vicious ways and everything ultimately ends in death. The End.

The idea that this is real is actually WAY scarier to me than wrapping my head around the idea that it isn’t.

The concept that this is not our home makes SO much more sense to me. Of course it isn’t. We are the precious, beloved Son of God. Why would God choose this to be our home? I mean like, really, Dad? You couldn’t have found a better place for us?

But God did not create this world.

He created us, as an extension of His Being – in the total blissful, peaceful, loving joyful perfection of Oneness. That is our home.

The Voice for God reminds us that we never left, and are forever at home in Him.

The ego’s voice of fear, scarcity and doubt keeps us believing we are at home here.

Which “home” we find ourselves in depends on which voice we’re listening to.

I love the analogy of our experience of the world of time and space being like a movie – especially the part where we get to decide when we’ve had enough of watching it and we can walk out into the Light.

This Light is our true Reality, where we are all still at home in total, perfect, heavenly, orgasmic, awesome Oneness – with everyone we love and have ever loved in any lifetime. Where death hasn’t separated us, and never will. Where there is no conflict, no guilt, or feeling not good enough. No loneliness, or scarcity, no failure. There is no attack, no pain, no sickness, no crazy.

That’s why I vibe so strongly with the film The Wizard of Oz as the Best. Metaphor. Ever.

Our sweet, innocent Dorothy-selves had some tiny, mad idea that there was something better over the rainbow, which swept us instantly up into the ego’s tornado of separation and dropped us down into a frightening experience completely foreign to the peaceful home we left.

We’ve been lost along some long-ass road trying to make our way home, while the wicked witch of our ego minds – disguised as sickness, scarcity, loss, pain, and death – constantly chases us, shrieking “I’ll get you, My Pretty!”

We wandered into the ego’s poppy field of temptations – lulling us into a crazy dream of guilt and fear, spending our lives seeking outside ourselves and never finding what we’re looking for.

The Flying Monkeys have been all up in our grill, too – bullying us with various “you-should-have’s” in reference to the past, “you can’t’s” in the present and “you’ll-never’s” regarding the future.

Like Dorothy, when the hot-air balloon took off without her – fearing we can’t ever go home again.

Sheesh, what a one-note buzzkill that ego-mind is.

But we have already been given the way to get home. It is to surrender the whole situation – to call on that Holy Spirit aka Inner Glinda and stay in that shimmering bubble of Trust, focused on the Truth. And the Truth is that our REAL home is in remembering who we are as the collective Child of God. As Pure light. It is a state of endless, perfect, all-encompassing Love, Peace and Joy.

Changeless, timeless.

Problemless, tornadoless. Fearless.

It is the Peace of God.

That’s our Kansas.

We have our mighty companions with us the whole way, too. And even if our bros sometimes seem like they have no brains, no heart, or no courage – that’s only a false belief. We can click our heels together and know the Truth for them until they can see it for themselves. And then we see it for ourselves.

We are already home.

And we can have that experience right here, right now – simply by choosing to step into those amazing ruby slippers Jesus/Glinda gave us and fulfill our function.

And what is that function? As the Course reminds us,

“Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.”

So, that’s what we’re doing, Peeps. We’re movin’ on up – into our Father’s metaphorical House, which has many mansions. We only appear to be here awhile, continuing to do our work of remembering the way back to our real home – the one we never left.

Thank you for being on this homeward-bound journey with me.

There’s no place I’d rather be than home with you.

Thank God it was only a dream.

I love you.
