Non in totum means "not at all" according to Google Translate.

Next, the other thing (punctuation added):

Quote:

When it started I was whole and no one could comprehend my glory only after I was torn apart and forced out of my natural state. Did the rest see their error? Still they denied it and tried to bring a balance to their pitiable lives. With my presence they fight and tear without seeing their need to be whole. My opposite will tell you I am the last and I will laugh and say that you cannot understand the truth of this. All before me is farce capering to my doorstep. We ten are all. I am the true face of the

And then it ends.

[edit - added block quote to make it easier to read - kona]

AS jacob falls i will reclaim All he has taken from me.

New email

This time from Panoptic fraction. The email was maculaomnia@ yahoo.com.
I'm in class tonight but thought someone would have fun.

To use a name to disorient. again Do you see what you have done? The Happy Birthdaysinew
ed a 4 on the GSC
you speak through blazes Jesus look at his eye out beyond our sight.
What happened It is no matter.
57 68 65 6e 20 69 74 20 73 74 61 72 74 65 64 20 77 65 20 77 65 72 65 20 77 68 6f 6c 65 20 61 6e 64 20 74 68 65 72 65 20 77 61 73 20 6e 6f 20 75 6e 64 65 72 73 74 61 6e 64 69
We are begun. The EIGHT will establish their holds soon. When they do communication will cease as we are forced 145 and the counter 153fe. In this interregnum we must establish certain facts.
6e 67 20 6f 66 20 77 68 61 74 20 74 68 61 74 20 6d 65 61 6e 74 20 6f 6e 6c 79 20 77 69 74 68 20 74 68 65 20 65 70 6f 63 68 20 6f 66 20 64 69 76 69 73 69 6f 6e 20 77 65 72 65
This communiqu� asserts the following:
Input has remained absent with 7 (seven) exceptions prior to communiqu�.
There is critically low investiture in FIVE of the EIGHT.
The remaining THREE of the EIGHT are over invested.
This imbalance will represent a NO CONTEST situation upon full activation.
Current input is insufficient to represent activation.
20 77 65 20 61 62 6c 65 20 74 6f 20 73 65 65 20 77 68 61 74 20 77 65 20 68 61 64 20 74 68 65 20 61 67 65 20 6f 66 20 68 6f 6d 6f 65 6f 73 74 61 73 69 73 20 77 61 73 20 61 63

Conclusion:
The current balance requires sustained input in order to either redistribute investiture or fulfil NO CONTEST shut-down.

Okay, the hex translates to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

When it started we were whole and there was no understanding of what that meant only with the epoch of division were we able to see what we had the age of homoeostasis was achieved and broken countless times and now we are set against each other without understanding the nature of the roles we are to play I am the first as my counterpart will be called the last those who will come between are the true shapers and breakers in whats to come we are ten that make less than dust we are ten that define all that you know
