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.

The transmigration of the soul is a familiar theme in Celtic legend,
certainly.

I did note that te one element of the  Briah cycle which does *not* fit in
with neo-Catholic ideas is the frequent transfer of human identity.

In the Bible there is the  "possession" of humans by indwelling demons or
angelic forces, but the idea that a human soul could shift from body to body
is not found.
