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.

Since Time collapses with successive universes, the idea of "sequentiality" 
between universes would be either naive or would mean something totally 
different from what we mean by it. If we assume that the Hieros are 
"causality-based", then successive universes would be a theoretical model 
rather than an observed phenomena. It would mean that the Hieros have the 
ability to move between parallel worlds...some adjacent and others 
not...like those in "There Are Doors".
