UNITE THEM (Another interpretation)

[Dofurion]

During the course of the day I was rereading the progress of chapter 16, 17 and 18. I think I have found a possible solution regarding the title issue.

I'm going to assume that "UNITE THEM" is the key to accessing the Honor Shard, so for this post I'm going to rule out shard fusion interpretations.

A review of the information we have:

• Sanderson had hinted that Honor's power is fragmented
• Cultivation in these books tells us that their "core" is still there for the taking.
• And that core is the energy and substance of the visions he had at the beginning of his journey.

It also ends up confirming that the Sprens (it is understood that the Radiants) were there before and were not created by a splintering of Honor.

 

Before we get back to this, I'd like to point out something we learn in the second interlude, the true nature of a Shard's 'Intent'. The Shards feel all the interpretations of their concept and how they see themselves produced by the beings of the Cosmere, so let's think for a moment about what this would be like... feeling for the user of the Honor shard. The truth would not be very different from what Dalinar experienced during his visions, only instead of having one vision at a time, he has them all at the same time.

I think you can see what my proposal is, the visions are in themselves fragments of Honor and they are generating a "space" and a "time" in the spiritual realm, where the true nature of the Shards resides. 

But the spiritual realm has no space or time so the visions are in a kind of testing mode. Dalinar and all his predecessors have seen them as a metaphorical puzzle when in reality it is a literal puzzle. The answer is to reproduce all the visions AT THE SAME TIME as is the true nature of the spiritual realm. UNITE THEM.

Interesting thought, I like it. 

Not sure what it'll mean, but I like the idea!
