 		Will now has a Twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/WillJakobsen

He has posted another post about his day, though I can't see anything interesting at first glance.

Searched the name of the 3rd person on the email from the church, nothing of any relevance.

And another email:

Quote:
It is our suggestion that you get to know each other. It can be of value in the future.
yes, to stand strong against them


Time to start making friends Razz

EDIT: Lizzy Bryant is not a lurker, she picked up a church flyer, and began her journey that way. The plot thickens

 		Currently in conversation with Lizzy Bryant, as mysterious third person who has collected the three pillars. Will use this post for now to record the conversation:

Lizzy -
Quote:
I guess we're supposed to get to know each other.

Hi, I'm Lizzy. I was interested because I found one of their fliers. I joined because I believe what they say. Why have you guys joined?


Me -
Quote:
Hi Lizzy. I had a friend show me one of the fliers. It looked like something real, not like most "true" faiths out there. As I collected the pillars I began to see that the Glass Heaven is the path to true salvation.


Lizzy -
Quote:
It is, isn't it? I'm thinking about devoting my life to it. It's been so great to remove all the distractions from my life.


Me -
Quote:
Considering that the church offers salvation, and a life full of joy, life and purity, devoting ourselves to them seems like a good step. The thing is I don't know that much about the church apart from what is on the flier and that they have these three key pillars. Any ideas on what we should be doing to devote ourselves and further the cause of the church?


Lizzy -
Quote:
Well, I think at the moment all we can do is as they told us, lead people to the Church. They did say they would decide when we're ready, right? I'm tired of waiting...I want to get the fourth pillar.


Me -
Quote:
So do I ... I suppose it can't hurt to ask them what the fourth pillar is, as we knew what the other three were, but not this fourth one. My friends are marshaling people to the church as we speak though, but I would prefer to move on as soon as possible, I want to devote my life to the church

 		On the Alphabet
In the meantime, if the symbols are "systematic" as the handwritten letters tell us in spectrumletter.png, I've come up with a theory:

if A = |

B = |‾

C is NOT = ‾|-

D = |-

E = |_

my first assumption is that I can just begin from the opposite side and:

F = ‾|

G = -| (or do we skip it like C?

H = _|

and then we move to two and then three dashes?

 		As I posted above, the church told the three of us who solved the puzzles first to get to know each other. A bit after that she emailed me and Jain. At first we thought that she was just a lurker who had been following our ideas and had solved it with us, but as you can see, she appears to be another person who found the church.

EDIT: About your code breaking, does that work with the letters we have already established?

 		Okay so after sleep and not reading the thread through first I actually sent my e-mail and then came and checked here.
Apparently minds think a like here.

I had hidden text I hadn't noticed before which was earn it, don't live it, as well as good.

Joy pillar obtained, currently working on life now.

Hopefully I will catch up to all of you.

 		I got the same email from Lizzy asking how we found the church. I replied with:

Quote:
Very nice to meet you both. My name is Jain. I am 32, I have one son, and I live in Dallas, Texas. I have been searching all my life for something to believe in. Nothing seemed to fit until now.


and Lizzy replied with:

Quote:
Nice to meet you, Jain! Were you the first or the third? I was the second to join the new generation.


Told her I was the first. I then got an email from Glass Heaven:

Quote:
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ | x x x x x x x x

alphabet


there was an attachment included but I'm having trouble uploading it. On first glance it is just a white block, it's called tellthem.png I'll work on saving it in a way that I can upload it here.

 		Worked a few filters on the "blank" image.

I haven't got the alphabet written down anywhere, so I can't translate it

 		DAMMIT WORK GETS IN THE WAY!!!!!

I am starting on my Life pillar now. I have most of the alphabet decoded at home. I am hoping that y'all will have something that will help me decipher the rest of the symbols. I only have 9 left to decode!!!!

I still have two more hours at work, DAMMIT!

 		Think I got it:

Quote:
he is lying to you
he is hiding
something
but how will you
know
if you do not
even
?sk?


last part could be "ask?" maybe

Edit: also received this:

Quote:
One of you asked us what the Fourth Pillar is.

You are aware of the first three: Joy, Purity, and Life.
you know they're not
The Fourth Pillar has many names. One is Enlightenment. It is represented as the middle band of our symbol. If we, as unrefined beings, can attain enlightenment, we may dwell in the Glass Heaven forever with each of the Spectrum. There are two halves of the enlightenment pillar, actually. One to join the Church completely (the one you are doing now), and one that is the final pillar of life. If we attain this last pillar in its entirety, we can live with the Crystalline Lord.

We hope this answers that question well enough for you.


Wasn't me who asked.

 		Woah, here we go. I know who Lizzy is. She is the one mentioned in the blog. Now we know where she got the leaflet from.

EDIT: Lizzy asked. I asked her to and she did. Also I just asked them about the blue bands, which are the ones that represent enlightenment, and now they are wondering how I know the colours .... This could be awkward. Should I spill the beans on the blog?

 		Oh good! I think we could get a lot more information if we can get Lizzy to divulge some details about her family history.

Edit: on finding out that I was the first Lizzy replied

Quote:
That's cool! I bet you'll get special treatment or something.


to which I said that we were all on the same path of equal importance. She just gave me a Smile

I'm about to have to go eat dinner so be back in a little while.

 		I've got a friend going through the process now and another potential two later tonight.

Who asked you how you know the colors? If it was Lizzy she should know about the blog since Will is her friend. If it was Glass Heaven then I'm not sure how you should respond... maybe tell them you made inferences because of the colored text? O.O
