The Over-Soul

The Over-Soul is a spiritual concept introduced by Ralph Waldo Emerson, describing a universal essence or divine presence that connects all living beings. It suggests that individual consciousness is part of a greater, collective consciousness, allowing people to tap into shared wisdom, morality, and truth beyond their personal experiences. The Over-Soul emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and the idea that our true nature is rooted in this divine unity, encouraging self-awareness, moral development, and a sense of sacred harmony with the universe.
