This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I believe you meant Hierogrammates, not Hieros. The Hieros were the humans
who cruelly fashioned the Hierogrammates in another universe that collapsed.
The Hierogrammates were the only things that mankind had made that survived
that universe. Tzadkiel was a Hierogrammate. Yesod is where they reside. It
is outside the universe of Briah, which is where Urth is located.
