The Nature of Longing: Why Restlessness Isn't a Problem to Solve
About this episode
The episode explores the nature of longing and restlessness as a fundamental aspect of consciousness rather than a problem to solve.
In this episode, I explore why we feel restless and incomplete even after achieving our goals or finding spiritual practices that seem to work. I argue that our perpetual longing isn't a sign of failure or proof we're on the wrong path but rather the fundamental nature of consciousness itself, constantly reaching and questioning. The real insight is recognising that seeking is the finding, that the journey itself is home, and learning to treat our restlessness as fuel rather than a problem to solve.
