Yes, and I mean the same as "through," here.
But it's like "through" in the sense of
a path through one locale to a destination.
This is hard to express in English, so one
approximates; as, "with him in mind."
So, I have rendered it as I have. The
rationale requires the commentary.
Incidentally, I have often wondered why
in these electronic days translators do not
keep websites wherein they answer questions
about the plan and details of their translations.
If such sites do exist, there are not many of them.
