It has been six years since the publication of In Harmony with the Mother Universe I and II in 2007.
Recently, someone suggested that the two volumes be combined into a single edition. Inspired by this, I took the opportunity to carefully revisit the content, give it a fresh appearance, and undertake the process of compilation with the hope that it might reach new readers—people I have yet to meet.
The title "Mother Universe" does not refer to a distant or imaginary world. Rather, it points to something much closer—our true and original home.
Though we humans are born and raised in many different places, there is only one place we are truly meant to return to. Yes, there is just one place we long to return to.
Of course, that place is not some specific location on this Earth. So then, where is it?
Even if I were to say,
"We have wandered across a vast, unfathomable span of time in search of that place,"
very few people today would nod and say, "Yes, I remember."
And that's all right.
As someone who has finally found their way back to that place—back to the home I was always meant to return to—I now simply wish to let my heart speak through this book.
All of us have, at some point, abandoned our true home. In other words, we have spent lifetime after lifetime wandering without knowing where we truly belong.
We have had no place of peace, no true sanctuary. That is why words like homecoming, yearning, and nostalgia carry a weight far deeper than what we often imagine.
There is a voice within you, rising up from the very depths of your heart—
a voice that says:
"I want to go home. I long to go home. Let's go back. Let's all go back together."
It is a voice that may not yet take form as sound, but it is real.
Please, take time to listen to that unspoken voice. Let it rise to the surface. Let yourself become someone who can hear and respond to it with kindness.
So I ask you—yes, you—
Won't you begin your own journey to seek out your true home?
Even if, for now, the voice is still silent, I believe the time will come when it grows stronger within you.
Through this book, I hope to help you recognize that moment when it arrives.
