What does it mean to be 'elect'
Conchis is of the elect; he considers himself to be psychic. Conchis continues to tell Nicholas that he is of the elect. Although Nicholas refutes the idea of being part of the elect and of having psychic qualities, he ponders the idea.
What does it mean to be 'elect'. I believe some of us choose to perceive the world around us in a special way. Although I am not psychic, I believe that being 'elect' has something to do with perception and an attitude towards the world. The elect try to lift the veil from our own eyes. Nicholas, at first, does not recognize the veil that has been placed over his narcissistic eyes. But as we read on, Nicholas begins to lift his veil and see things he has never seen before.
