- living in forms other than one’s own
Meaning
Nature is described as dwelling or operating in other forms at X.23, amid images of pervasive flow and circular movement. The unusually extended compound makes changeful embodiment explicit. It need not mean that individual human souls pass through successive bodies, a claim the line itself does not make.
