First of all, woaw, you sure can write! This post really speaks to the heart and sings songs to the spirit. Regarding the above qoute - so one does not have to wander around this world looking and searching through all kinds of odd religions and weird mystics, in order to find immediate resonance?

Quote:When one has been painfully away from home for so long that it virtually disappears from memory, and when one then returns to the home environment, deep memories are stirred within the soul - the shape of the nearby hills, the smell of the particular flowers in the area, the sounds of the local community, the layout of the streets, all calls to one as the lover from whom one was separated without diminishment to the bonding love between.
That is just beautiful! One just wants to put it on the wall.

Quote:It's as if a seeker was born, raised, and spent a lifetime in France and through some unfortunate series of events was knocked unconscious and drifted across the ocean, washing up on the shores of the U.S. with no recollection of who she was, from where she had come, or what life she had lived prior to waking in a foreign land. For all she knows, she is an American. She learns everything over again, including how to walk, talk, and think. Then one day she stumbles on a book all about France, its history, its landscapes, its climate, its culture, it politics, etc.
Looking at the images of France and reading the information, suddenly there is a knowing that she is seeing and hearing about her home, that she is not of this country in which she finds herself, and that she must embark upon a journey to return home.
Of course this analogy is full of holes! But it communicates some of the fundamental notes of my own experience, and I believe the experience of others.
And that is just weird, because I've been carrying this image/vision (of drifting across the ocean and amnesia and all that other stuff you wrote) for days now. So my eyes were naturally very large this morning while I was reading that while drinking my morning coffee.
