This seems obvious enough that somebody must have tried it by now, but I can't find any mention of anyone sending a message to Xander's MySpace account.

I've just sent this:

 Hello :)

New Daily Inspiration (seems to update at midnight PST).

 Mighty kings like their fruit...

Possibly coincidental - someone earlier had mentioned tarot card symbols earlier I think related to the chalice in the video - the pillars of Jachin and Boaz are often depicted on the High Priestess card in the tarot deck, pomegranates and all.

I'd still like to have something that tied together the meaning of these different inspirations. The first clued the music puzzle which got us a myspace page that so far has not lead further. The second got us a cryptic message that might point to the letters but we don't know. The third gives us "Money" from U2's desire. This one points us to King Solomon's temple and the two pillars.

Hi. First time post. I've been following your progress.

I've read (well, listened to the audio book) Jesus Wants to Save Christians and there may be some connections here back to the book. The first part of the book is about the Isrealite's exodus to freedom from slavery in Egypt, their eventual drift from God, Solomon's amassing of wealth and building of an empire, then their exile to Babylon. This sets up one of his main premises in the book. Anyway...

So King Solomon, Moses (if he is the 'humble' man), Exodus (mentioned in 10/9 inspiration), 10/10 inspiration link to money - all could be links to JWTSC. I can't remember anything from the book that may clue us into "where atop their pillars they would go" which feels like could lead somewhere.

Also, did anyone else notice that Xander looks like Jesus in his picture?

I think that's a nice little nudge to say OOG discussion on Facebook is safe...

Count me among the carded. Mine were addressed to "Ms. Sylvia Michael", switching my first and last names.

For the curious, the photographs on the site really do seem to convey all the information on the cards; the backs of the cards are just the CoV family-and-rainbow logo and URL on a plain white background.

(Edited to add: My gut instinct is that today's Daily Inspiration is telling us to pay attention to capitals, the architectural term for the tops of pillars. We might have to wait until Humility Week in early November to use that knowledge, though.)

I received my cards today. First I get a SL letter (Aporia Agathon) and now this. Well, I haven't got much to contribute yet, but this might be a bit useful.
I looked up the two pillars from Salomon's Temple and this stood out to me.

Nets of checkerwork covered the bowl of each chapiter, decorated with rows of two hundred pomegranates, wreathed with seven chains for each chapiter. Doubt it's of any use, but you never can be too sure with ARGs.

haha! No one else noticed this yet? The events page now has a video from the Passion event - I was laughing through the first half it's great

http://www.citizensofvirtue.com/Events.aspx

Mainly because of...
* "Weezer" shows up after the Passion annoucement on the LED announcement board
* The extra-super-uber-excitedness of the virtu-volunteers announcing their virtue to the camera ("Kindness!!" *hop*, "DilliGence" )
* the march up the stairs
* handing out cards, Charity slips a card in someone's backpack
(then it goes to street interviews that are mostly hard to make out)

good stuff!

also, new inspiration:

Re Inspiration(10/12): "ïn large denominations" can refer to US currency (the big bucks type). Again the word "groups"--splintered, in the field. A sub-divide of sorts?

ETA--RE(10/11) "where atop their pillars": The top part of a pillar is a capitol which is another word for equity and money as in "VENTure capital funds and firms".
