I think one of the only No-Brainers in this whole book is that The Increate = God. You've surely heard of, in some of Earth's theology, the term The Uncreated. The Increate = The…

I would say that these books are FULL of stuff that doesn't make sense within the scene itself, so that notion doesn't deflate your idea. and I believe you are right. It is most d…
