intense feelings of homesickness

[zenmaster]

Where is home?

It seems it's their idea of somewhere they perceive they'd feel more comfortable or compatible. I've heard many, many whiny complaints about one's circumstances - being that of a prison, or what not, over the years. I think some people throw the concept of service out the window and desire certain regressive comforts or atmosphere that makes them feel more congruent with themselves. It's a thoroughly '3D'-identifying mindset.

First I got surprised when I saw the above post but then when I saw it was you, it was like: "aah it's only zen". My buttons were not pushed by it as I actually agree with you regarding my personal experience. I have noticed that homesickness dissables me to fully functioning in being in service. When I am attacked by it I dwell in self pitying and get too self absorbed. However I see that as a personal lesson and I am working on it, but it does give me guilt in dwelling in this state, because as I said I don't perform 100% when it happens. The reason to this reply is geniune curiosity for how humans function. If we speak of myself here I would never dare to post something like this, zen, as I would assume that it would hurt others self, therefore I am genuinely, really curious and nothing else in what moved you to post this? What was the drive behind your post?

Years ago, I used to 'counsel' so-called 'wanderers' - 'light being' was the more popular term. Don't ask me why, at some point, many just came to me asking for answers (yes, with what I'd call whiny attitudes). "Whiny" seemed to be the best adjective for 'I want to go home'. And now, it seems even more appropriate due to the reactions here (buttons apparently pushed). (Imagine Hercules complaining about the misfortune of a paper cut.)
