Some might say that "HOME" is the letting go of the thought that thought can take us on a journey or bring us home.
One cannot let go of a thought.....how absurd, virtually impossible.
Thoughts are appearances in that which is always here now, dead still, always have been, now here, not there.
No one to let go of a thought.
No one to grab hold of a thought.
'Thoughts' are free, they come and go in that which is free, information wants to be free, whether thought's appear as thoughts of separation or not is totally irrelevant.
That's why I wouldn't agree that it's thought that brings us home, because in the non-dual way of explaining, it's the absence of thought that reveals we could not ever be away from "HOME." And the thought that we could be brought back to where we never left, is just more thought, (aka make-believe).
In the total absence of 'thought' there would be totally 'no thinking' this is impossible.....
in the total absence of thought, the thought of being separate wouldn't even arise in the first place, again impossible.
How can the absence of 'thought' reveal anything? that kind of thinking is just another example of nondual typical semantic nonsense.
The self is always aware of itself, haven't you noticed?
This awareness is no-thing in which apparent some-things arise, unavoidably so, thoughts,which are really no thing.
One needs 'thought' to get behind the thinker, when awareness knows sensation, consciousness is born,
to then realize there is no thinker, there's just 'thoughts thinking'
Non/ Duality cannot be played any other way.
And depending on whether your bogus thoughts tell you that you're coming or going, whether you're trying to run away, or trying to desperately find your way back home, the REALIZATION that you're always/already in the only possible "place" might make you
