nature

The chief channel of Western reception, kept explicitly downstream of the source — the same discipline this atlas applies to Wilhelm for the I Ching and to Wilson for the reality tunnel.
rhymes with
sephirahhod
whyHod is translation and transmission — with the pack's standing caution that what a translator hands over has been shaped by the handing.
