I am new here to this forum. I am hoping someone here has knowledge about OverSoul.
Who should I contact?
Best Regards,
Zin

Sounds like another word for the "higher self" concept... put those keywords through a search.

"The Oversoul" is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, first published in 1841. The broad subject of the essay, one of Emerson's best, is the human soul. Several general themes are treated: (1) the existence and nature of the human soul; (2) the relationship between the soul and the personal ego; (3) the relationship of one human soul to another; and (4) the relationship of the human soul to God. Influence of Eastern religions, including Vedantism, is plainly evident, but the essay also develops ideas long present in the Western tradition, e.g., in the works of Plato, Plotinus, and Emmanuel Swedenborg.
The essay attempts no systematic doctrine, but rather serves as a work of art, something like poetry. Its virtue is in personal insights of the author and the lofty manner of their presentation. Emerson wishes to exhort and direct the reader to an awakening of similar thoughts or sentiments.
With respect to the four themes listed above, the essay presents the following views: (1) the human soul is immortal, and immensely vast and beautiful; (2) our conscious ego is slight and limited in comparison to the soul, despite the fact that we habitually mistake our ego for our true self; (3) at some level, the souls of all people are connected, though the precise manner and degree of this connection is not spelled out; and (4) the essay does not seem to explicitly contradict the traditional Western idea that the soul is created by and has an identity different from God.

Hi Zin, welcome to the Astral Pulse! :-)
Something I found on the net:
QuoteThe oversoul is the combination of all your life experiences, all the lives you have lived all the things you have learned. The oversoul is the collected knowledge of all natural lessons and wisdom. It is believed that all people are born to learn, to experience and connect. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience" Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The belief is that all people must strive to change and become more then they are now. That with each lesson comes more understanding of our purpose for being. It is also believed that with meditation you can speak to your oversoul and gain insight into your personal path.

That's my opinion as well. There are so many different terms that I've read for this single metaphor that it can boggle the mind sometimes.
In any case, Zin welcome to the Astral Pulse. :)
I'm sure you can just post your questions in the appropriate forum section... or just check back here in this thread.
I believe Monroe used the term also, IIRC.
