I think a feeling of reconciliation with the Universe is something I experienced as a child in opposition to religious teachings. I suppose like Wordsworth I fell that one's natural state as a child is 'I am good enough, and it will be OK' and the teaching of religion denies that comfort: 'You are not good enough, and the spiritual consolation you feel is false'.

I don't know how common this feeling is.
