The "oversoul" is an interesting notion, to say the least. The concept states that each small part (or being) is a part of some sort of larger whole (the universe, God, community, etc.). I suppose it brings about a sense of belonging for some - community, oneness, unity. It is a feeling that every human being longs for (whether or not this is a conscious sense of longing is besides the point). One could argue, however, that there is already a sense of interconnectedness amongst mankind - the whole "six degrees of separation". But is it really enough? You and I are connected. As you read this blog post of which I have just poured out the thoughts within my head, we are connected. You now know what I think. You now know what I feel. But is it really enough? To say that simply because you know what it is I feel, you automatically comprehend and therefore feel what I feel would be preposterous. No man or woman in their right mind would claim such a thing. To go even further into detail, I will never know that we have a link between us, just as many of us go our entire lives without knowing that we have created a link with another being. So, in actuality, it is a dotted line of sorts that may never become a solid, completed, line. It seems a waste to completely dismiss the dotted line, though, don't you think? So, my question of the day is the following: How do we complete the connection?
