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.

Ooh! have I communicated my ideas so poorly? My view is that there is an endless succession of universes.
Briah happens to be between a nicer one, Yesod, and a meaner one, Abaddon (roughly corresponding to heaven
and hell, respectively). Universes higher than Yesod or lower than Abaddon probably exist but they are too
incomprehensible, to beings such as us, to even mention in the book.

I think David Stockhoff might lean toward the more Kabbalic view, that Yesod is sort of an upper or side 
universe to the main sequence of universes. I'm not sure.
