some random thoughts: gematria, Forlesen, seal of Pas

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.

Yeah it is definitely that kind of metaphor,  but there are still things
like the breakfast and coffee  tasting like oil, the twelve types of dead,
the shifting pillars, the difference betwen reflections and mirrors and
other perceptions, the cop with his blood and urine catheter connections to
his car that hint that maybe it is more than just an indeterminate dream
fantasy metaphor with no scientific or "logical" explanation.
The problem is figuring what oily coffee implies heh heh.
