In Truth, Home is all there is. Look around you, and listen, and smell, and feel. 'This' IS Home. Notice that ANY 'name' we could possibly give to 'it all' would be wrong. We can't really say or know WHY It is appearing as It is. Luckily though, in order to KNOW 'This' AS Home, understanding 'why' is not necessary. 'Here' It IS! Arrival is departure, departure is arrival. Forever and ever and ever.

'Why?' is a meaningless question. 'How?' is an unanswerable question. So just 'Look'.

Perhaps. But who can help it? 'Why?' is a meaningless question because there is no fundamental 'reason why'. One way or the other, there is ALWAYS 'What Is'. 'How?' is an unanswerable question because ultimately, one way or the other, whatever it 'does', it simply DOES. That is to say, it all simply happens the way it does because of the way 'This' fundamentally IS. However, there is no reason 'Why' 'This' is the way It fundamentally IS.

We COULD say that 'This' is the way It fundamentally IS simply because It ALWAYS IS. But as there can truly NEVER be ANY reason 'Why' 'This' ALWAYS IS, that isn't really saying very much, is it? Either way, 'This' IS Home.

On of the things i notice, is that there's an intense interest people have in talking about what they think about 'this', or how clever they can be about saying 'this', but.. not so many are willing to let 'this' go, and by that i mean using 'this' in its many variations as the stage for more talk about 'this', more talk about what's happening in the mind, and very little about the actualities of life happening..
Life, right here right now, IS the only home there is.. mind-play and if/then speculation are no substitutes for full-on body/mind/spirit interaction with what is happening, without elevating or denigrating any part of that whole.. great and abiding peace is available for the experiencer that does what needs doing when that doing moves toward resonance with Life's emergence.. toward which result meditation/stillness is a beneficial expedient, balancing the body/mind/spirit's relationships into a greater whole..
Home is where 'you' are, your relationship with 'this'.. 'home' is not a place, it's what you make of a place..

Home is where 'you' are, your relationship with 'this'.. 'home' is not a place, it's what you make of a place.. Well, some peeps might quibble with the integration notion in certain contexts but other than that, "THIS" is pretty much just a short hand for that: "what is happening with no part of the whole elevated or denigrated".

I only use these words in a loving and playful attempt bring the interested reader to the point where they can see that they don't need words to know 'This'.

Home is where 'you' are, your relationship with 'this'.. 'home' is not a place, it's what you make of a place.. I only use these words in a loving and playful attempt bring the interested reader to the point where they can see that they don't need words to know 'This'. Weeell, it seems to me you arrived at your current understanding\conclusion\belief\truth about existence from past explorations of why and how and other such explorations. Seems to me you acquired your why and how answers thus have no more need to explore any further, no more need for why and how. Of which if you are satisfied with your current conclusions about existence, then a sincere, good for you, may your interpretations of existence serve you well. However, due to my nature of not trying to tell others what to think\accept as truth, but instead i encourage my fellow travelers to explore and contemplate for themselves, as i do, it seems illogical to me to devalue that which you used to arrive at your current state of being\understanding. (unless of course you never did contemplate existence, but took the easy route and just accepted someone else's conclusions from their own explorations) There is the Buddha parable about the man who discarded his raft after crossing the river, no longer needing it. If i were that person, i would forever remain appreciative of the raft i used, and would never deter anyone else from using one to further their travels. The understanding, the realizations are acquired within the journey of life. Hows and whys and other such inquiries are the paths one travels on that allow a person to develop the understanding and realizations of that which they are examining. You traveled to your current position of understanding, so too does everyone else. If you want another to simply bypass all that and just accept what you say is truth, they may, but they also may not understand it deeply thus have a truly transformative experience. They may have acquired knowledge, but may not have acquired understanding of it. Plus, due to the intricate uniqueness of individuals, and the limited understanding of why we humans are this way...what is truth to you, what makes sense to you, what works for you, is beneficial to your life, may not be for another. Is it not better to encourage others, of whom you and i know very little about, to take their own explorative journeys to sort out whatever is troubling them or things they are interested in that they personally judge might be beneficial to further examine, than telling them what they should be doing and thinking\believing. I do not have any issues with people sharing their thoughts on things they like and they experience benefit from them, as i do this all the time when i hang out with my fellow explorers...but it just seems counter productive to the growth\transformation\enlightenment of an individual to interfere in their own journey that has to be taken to experience it.
