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.

At least twice, portals to and from Yesod are descibed as moonlike in 
appearance, both times in proximity to Tzadkiel's ship as it bridges the 
gap to and from the first moments after the Big Bang where it can enter 
or leave Yesod. The White Fountain is also described as a huge portal 
for energy and matter from Yesod to Briah. It's plausible that the 
Yesodis could abutt the ends of two such portals to transfer light or a 
Whorl from one place and time in Briah to another.  For a time, this was 
entertained on the list as a plot device for returning the Whorl to Urth 
and Lune in a manner similar to PLANET OF THE APES.
