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 think the theme of fallen bits of the Increate always climbing 
upward to try to reunite with it is a constant one for Wolfe, and always 
a good one to test out. In this case, at the lower levels of 
materiality, you have a small bit merging with a larger bit that may 
appear monstrous. That appearance may or may not affect its status in 
terms of relative or absolute proximity to the Increate.

I don't recall the theological terms or underpinnings. But I'm sure 
someone else does.
