Q: There is some restlessness inside I fear I will never be able to shake.
A: We are each a multidimensional microcosm inside and in interaction with a multidimensional macrocosm or a universe. Our search for authentic selfhood and inner fulfillment is synonymous with the search for finding our uniquely right place in the universe and in the world. No one but you can know that right place for yourself, while society has no interest at all in you finding your rightful place in the universe. The restlessness of which you speak will continue until you find that place in the ceaselessly moving dynamic ocean of existence.
The great majority of human beings, however, eventually settle down to having some positions (e.g., CEO of a company or a professor of a university) and roles (e.g., a mother, a father, a wife, or a husband) without ever finding their uniquely right places in the universe. Their sense of restlessness becomes suppressed, repressed, numbed, and then forgotten. This is a kind of self-deception and a form of inauthenticity.
This restlessness is not something that we should shake but an inner guidance that leads us to our own legitimate and proper dwelling place in the universe. The universe being in flux, this legitimate dwelling place, this uniquely rightful place, of yours is not static, and yet when you find it, you will find a dynamically immovable place, and a dynamically still point, of existence that is your cosmic property, unexchangeable with any other property.
When you find your rightful place in the universe, you will then become completely at home in the universe. You experience the at-one-ness or at-one-ment (atonement) with the universe and with everything in the universe. You will experience a cosmic reconciliation, cosmic we-ness, by residing in the cosmically singular dwelling place that is uniquely yours and yours only—that is, in the uniqueness or singularity of your being. This I call ‘Singular We-ness’.
