It is notable how closely this philosophy was echoed, roughly a century later in America by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his lectures (and short, but no less timeless essay series) on the concept of “The Oversoul.”
In short, “the Oversoul” refers to a universal, divine spirit or consciousness that connects all individuals and the natural world. He believes that each person is part of this greater, transcendent force, and that true understanding comes from tapping into this shared unity. The Oversoul represents a higher, spiritual reality, where individual identities dissolve into a collective whole, promoting a sense of interconnectedness and inner peace. Through intuition and self-reliance, Emerson suggests, individuals can experience this divine connection and gain insight into their true nature.
