THE ATLAS OF THE UNCARVED BLOCK

Pu · the uncarved block

the uncarved block
nature
A block of wood before the carver touches it — raw, whole, nameless, full of every possibility precisely because it has been made into nothing in particular. Laozi's image for the Tao and for the sage.

The door's namesake, and the master-key to the central parting: the Taoist stays uncarved; the Kabbalist carves well.
rhymes with
sephirahketer
whyThe undifferentiated fullness before the first distinction — the light before tzimtzum draws the first line.
