Genesis 2

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.

Tom adds:
Even the cylinder shape with the people inside is a nice inversion
of the real world.

Crush interjects:
I consider it a mistake to try to incorporate the Outsider into the system
of Pas' creation story.

I believe the proper equations are:
Outsider=3DGod,
Pas=3Dblasphemous imitation of God,
Whorl=3Dblasphemous imitation of God's creation

Pas like Horn parodying Silk for the *amusement* of his friends.

One characterizations of black masses is to use actual religious objects and
rituals but turn them upside-down or apply the opposite meanings to them.
This is what Pas has done. He's taken creation and *turned it inside-out*.

I realize there are lots of deliberate flags to Mithraism (which is not the
same thing as Gnosticism) in tBotLS, but I believe this the intended
understanding of the references to Genesis 2.
