Sympatheia

Sympatheia is a Greek term that refers to interconnectedness or unity between all things in the universe. It suggests a fundamental harmony or resonance between different parts of the natural world and that everything is connected through a shared essence or energy.

In ancient Greek philosophy, Sympatheia was often associated with the idea of the cosmos as a living organism in which all parts were interconnected and interdependent. It was also related to fate or destiny, suggesting that everything that happened was part of a larger plan or purpose.

In modern times, the idea of Sympatheia has been embraced by various spiritual and mystical traditions, including Taoism and New Age spirituality. It is often seen as a way of cultivating a sense of empathy and compassion towards others, as well as a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life.
