Feeling at Home

OLGA COSSI

Going home. A sense of comfort, protection, belonging, of warmth, understanding, and ease, comes to most people just thinking about going home. It is to feel nearer the solution of pressing problems, to find release from tensions, to enjoy being wanted, to be oneself.

Even if we don't have a home of our own, we can still feel at home. Mrs. Eddy shows how this is possible. The last line of the twenty-third Psalm as she gives it in Science and Health reads, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house [the consciousness] of [love] for ever."Science and Health, p. 578; Home is the consciousness of Love, God. Then is there ever any valid reason why we can't feel at home? Does it matter where we are if we're dwelling in the consciousness of divine Love?

Many students of Christian Science, the Science of Christ, or Truth, have used the spiritual sense of being to find comfort and understanding while away from home. The limitless concept of home as the consciousness of Love can give them a sense of ease wherever they are.
