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.

Unless The Divine is not a concept like Economics or Geography, but 
instead a Person like, for example, the Outsider who is not discovered 
or understood but instead reveals himself in finite ways to finite 
individuals as he chooses.
