Etymology

[view · edit · purge]In New England transcendentalism, oversoul is a spiritual essence or vital force in the universe in which all souls participate and that therefore transcends individual consciousness. Oversoul can also be the universal mind or spirit that animates, motivates, and is the unifying principle of all living things. It's a concept in the transcendentalist philosophy of Emerson and others.

[view · edit · purge]In science fiction, an overmind is the leading or controlling mind in a group mind.
