Hierogrammates, Briah and Yesod

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.

	That's the one machine-planet in Yesod that oversees the galaxies of 
Briah. There are supposed to be other stars and planets somewhere in Yesod.

Have they been caught flat-out lying? Or just going along with imprecise 
metaphors?
