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.

> Jeff Wilson: I wonder which part of Tzadkiel is on which side.

Sheesh. For me this is such an incisive question. I think showing
Tzadkiel evolving through so many phases including different levels 
of beast, levels of man and levels of angel is meant as a metaphor 
with a purpose.

I won't say he carries "all" perspectives within himself. That is 
reserved for The Increate. But having lived in so many different forms,
he carries quite a few perspectives, allowing an ability to be 
essentially on all the conflicting sides shown in the story.

My view is that the old Autarch's rule is a pale reflection of the 
true rule of Father Inire. His secret words and his penchant for serving 
in various guises is borrowed from Inire, who is much more adept in these
skills.

Likewise I see Inire as a pale reflection of Tzadkiel, whose mechanisms and
ability to play multiple roles is so much greater than his. Following the
progression, Tzadkiel would be a pale reflection of The Increate who is the
ultimate-  universally found everywhere and embodied in everyone and every 
thing.
