The Path, the River, & the Wheel
(author unknown)
As an Unbound, you know about the Chain. Now it is time to learn about the Path, the River, and the Wheel.
The Path is the story you tell yourself about yourself. It can be and should be your true calling. What you ultimately want to be and do should align with what you can be and do, and what you should be and do. You should strive to find your own Path and to walk it with courage, determination, and perseverance.
The River is the flow of the multiverse beside and across your Path. It is the challenges, resources, allies, enemies, and opportunities that the multiverse brings to you. You may let them float by, grab at them, or even be buffeted by them. At times, your Path may even be the River itself. Sometimes you must fight the current, and sometimes you must travel with it.
The Wheel is recoil and reciprocity. What you send out into the multiverse affects what comes back to you. Your actions have consequences. When you feel a desire or set a goal, you should consider what you can send out so that the Wheel brings back what you want.
