The Oversoul

The Oversoul is a philosophical concept, popularized by Ralph Waldo Emerson and other transcendentalists, referring to a universal spirit or collective consciousness that connects all living beings. It suggests that each individual soul is part of a greater whole, sharing a divine essence. This idea emphasizes interconnectedness, implying that personal experiences and insights contribute to a larger understanding of existence. The Oversoul encourages individuals to seek unity with nature and each other, fostering a sense of purpose and belonging within the cosmos.
