Hey Naruse, loved a couple of your comments on the 8-3-11 posts, I have to say I agree with you (and could totally go for a cuppa).

Here is what I got with the image:

I am by no means an expert but (by any stretch of the imagination)

In Gimp:

went to Filters -> Distorts -> Emboss. Then in the preview I played with the sliders till something showed up, someone with much better skills would probably do a much better job, but this will do for now me thinks Smile.

Haha yeah, 8𠖥1 is getting crazy... Hard to follow at the moment but I am just waiting for August 3rd now Wink

And wow at the image! More to decrypt. Do you mind pointing out how you got that? (I played with the image on here but I am on my work computer so I can't use any fancy programs, found nothing just with normal methods).

EDIT: Beat me to it ;D

I have decoded that to read:

"The Pristine Fiend"

Wasn't entirely sure of the "f" or the "p", but it works and it gives us two new letters for the symbolic alphabet.

Yeah they have gone way off the beaten path, almost pathological now, just watching from a distance for the most part now.

Emailing Glass HEaven

Anyone else further emailing Glass Heaven and asking for more information? I have and just got a weird email back.

Quote:

Glass Heaven:
"I will be your first guide. Joy is the simplest in concept but the hardest to achieve. One of the teachings we have learned is to remove all sources of ill-will and evil from our lives.

What you must do to earn joy is to follow the teaching; remove all ill-will and evil from your life. If you find this too difficult, I have another task you may complete instead, you must only ask."

Me:
"I shall begin removing ill-will and evil from my life. Any advice on how to proceed?"

Glass Heaven:
"The best thing to do is meditation, alone. I never said you had to remove them from your life forever. One requires those things to live a full life. The task is solitude, friend. You will be done when you believe you are done."

Then I got this passage sent to me:


"And the man from the tower cried, "We must go back! There is nothing for us here! There is no tolerance for us to find here. There is small difference between true clarity and false belief! We must go back."




No idea how I should respond to that.

I got an interesting reply.

I pointed out that I live in Japan where finding services I'm interested in are difficult, and asked if they can point me in the right direction.

Here's my response.

Quote:
You are also special.

We are sorry for your difficulty, we are not as widespread as we have been in the past. But that does not matter.

Cleanse your soul. We will return to you tomorrow, in this hour.

So as I mentioned earlier I didn't ever get a response from my "Let me on the Path" email, so I resent an email, and this is the response that I got:

Quote:
You are special. We have been blessed with this knowledge by the Crystalline Lord and his Glass Heaven.
be careful
Cleanse your soul; we have a special mission for you. We will return to you tomorrow, in the same hour.

be everyone + be everywhere + be everything
\ + | + /


The parts in red didn't show up untill I selected all to copy and paste here...

Naruse, see if anything else shows up in the email if you select all, please.

Yeah, nothing extra in my email. Could be that we won't see any more activity til tomorrow, depending on time-zone. I'm well aware that I am in a different one from most of the ARGs I'm following!

How do we work/sleep/socialize/etc?

Just jumping in to say hi to you all!

I have work here in front of me, but I can't work with TSE and now this Glass Heaven thing.

I'm totally new to ARGs (didn't even know they existed till last week), and I'm really excited! This is FUN. I loved this coded alphabet thing. I think I've seen this before (the crazy letters in the images), can't recall where though; same type of letters.

Hope I can help you guys tomorrow after work! I'll certainly email them tomorrow during the day, see what letters come accented in their replies.

(100kfireflies, why don't you email them back with "The Pristine Fiend" or something like that?)

Welcome on board, andrekka. No worries about being new; I've been following higher-profile ARGs for years, but I only started participating last week!

I'm really liking the little team we have working on this one right now.
