Excerpt from the book by Neale Donald Walsch.
How does one get back home?
How does one get back home?
In order to answer this question we have to define what we mean by Home. What, exactly, is this home to which people seek to return?
Most people think that "going home" means returning to God. But you cannot return to God, because you never left God - and your soul knows this.
YOU may not know this at a conscious level, but your souls know this.
Your soul is seeking to experience what it knows.
Your soul knows that you never left God and it is seeking to experience that.
Life is a process by which the soul turns Knowing into Experiencing, and when what you have known and experienced becomes a felt reality, that process is complete.
Home, it turns out, is a place called Completion.
It is the Complete Awareness of Who You Really Are through the Complete Knowing and the Complete Experiencing and the Complete Feeling of that. It is the end of the separation between you and Divinity.
This separation is an illusion, and your soul knows this. Completion can therefore be defined as the moment when Separation ends, the moment of your reunification with Divinity.
In the moment of reunification, what occurs is that you simply remember Who You Really Are, and experience that.
Returning to awareness is a twofold process. Awareness is achieved by Knowing and Experiencing, which produces Feeling.
Awareness is the Feeling of what you have Known and Experienced.
It is one thing to Know something, it is quite another thing to Experience it, and still another to Feel it.
Only Feeling produces full Awareness. Knowing alone, can produce only partial awareness.
You can Know that you are Divine, but when you Experience your Self being Divine, then your Awareness is made Complete through the living of that Feeling.
You can Know that you are any aspect of Divinity - for instance, that you are compassionate - but when you Experience your Self being compassionate, then your awareness is made Complete through the living of that Feeling.
You can Know that you are generous, but when you Experience your Self being generous, then your awareness is made Complete through the living of that Feeling.
You can Know that you are loving, but when you Experience your Self being loving, then your awareness is made Complete through the living of that Feeling.
When you do not "feel like yourself", it is not because you do not Know who you are, it is because you are not Experiencing it. You must add Experience to Knowing to produce Feeling.
Feeling is the language of the Soul. Awareness of Self is achieved through the complete feeling of your Self being Who You Really Are.
As Awareness is a twofold process, there are two paths by which it is reached. A soul arrives at Complete Knowing along the path of the spiritual world, and at Complete Experiencing along the path of the physical world. Both paths are needed, and that is why there are two worlds. Put them together, and you have the perfect environment within which to create Complete Feeling, which produces Complete Awareness.
