Where on earth is your spiritual home?

Affable

This question perplexes me completely. I know I must belong somewhere, but I can't figure out where.

I've heard of something called wanderlust, where people feel like you do, constantly travelling from place to place but never feeling at home anywhere.

What's the opposite, where you feel at home everywhere? Cause that's me :pac:

I suggest you try the spirituality forum Affable.

No matter where you go - you take yourself with you. It's not a question of place, it's an inside job.

If I might say so, you're exactly where you're supposed to be, you just haven't realised it yet. People who climb mountains to find God (or go to India) always come back disappointed because they're looking for something outside of themselves.

Everything's exactly right, exactly how it should be, and everything's OK, even if it doesn't seem that way.

Thanks, although I think it's perhaps not the same wherever you go, I've been out of my country and am much happier back in my hometown.

Does it make any sense to be uncomfortable out of one's home country?
Not wanting to become another nationality or adopt their sensibilities?

Isn't your country your physical home?
All the generations of contact with it, its customs, history and its people are deep and marvellous but, where indeed is our spiritual home?

Is it on earth at all?

Yeah, I tend to feel my country or region is my spiritual home, though have only realised it from being away.

My spiritual home is definitely Sweden. I knew as soon as I went there the first time. I pine for it when I'm away. Scandinavia is the only place I feel complete. Everywhere else I feel like I'm missing something vital.

Might sound a bit odd but my spiritual home is where ever I am during meditation.

Affable

Bit cold isn't it?
