reading this again (http://www.glassheaven.org/7-11-11.html), there's this photoalbum. Old, history.

Any ideas?


Maybe the streaks in the old photo's were not kids but something that the old mission had drummed up, a spirit perhaps?
Think my next story should be in this range?

 		Possibly. Still thinking that the tower is key, too. I have no idea what it could be.

Dunno how you could connect spirits and joy though lol

Need to rest a bit, like they told me. I'll be back some time tomorrow!

 		Got my email.

I apologize for not responding sooner, for some reason your message was marked as read.

I am in charge of guiding those who would seek the Church. There are three pivotal "pillars," joy, purity, and life. Red, green, and blue. The path to the Glass Heaven, and ultimately the Crystalline Lord, begins there. To fully commit yourself into the Church, you must earn these pillars. Each of us has a task for you to complete.

Which would you choose first?


Chose Life, waiting for the answer.

 		I think that this might have some bearing at some point as well from the http://glassheaven.org/7-17-11.html post.

Alex had an exciting Saturday, so I've heard. He found a burnt old building (they call it "Old Smokey") and there were people there, around a fire in the burnt out basement. He bolted when they saw him. That sounds terrifying. Alex likes to take me on those types of adventures, so I'm glad I was gone.

 		I told them a new story and used history and learning from mistakes as a means to ringing joy. If it works awesome if not we keep trying.

We'll see where this gets me.

 		I asked for my alternate task and have since been involved in a sort of text based adventure. I'll post everything when it reaches a stopping point.

 		Just got this email with no hidden message:

"Yes, they have. But one cannot find eternal peace without a little struggle here and there.

I believe in you. You can find the right story. Perhaps a story about...yes, about the history of us. I know you do not know it, but make something up. Or do you have it in your power to find our First Verse?
"

I asked if others have struggled. The First Verse?

Found here http://www.glassheaven.org/images/spectrumletter.png

Ok, so this is probably a long shot, but I think that the bottom text on the first page may actually be their *First Verse*, I think we all assumed that it was going to translate into english, but it could be *their* chant language.

 		That would make a ton of sense maybe the first verse is how they came to be?
They told me to rest on it so I think I will.
Quote:
That story is good.

But it does not bring me joy.

Rest on it, and I'm sure you will understand.


I find it funny they said that I am sure to understand. Perhaps my formal talk actually is working out for me for once.

The task you must complete to earn your life pillar is this: find in your soul the kindness and charity to give to another. Give them life again.


Aside from the task, the email is pretty much the same as the one Jain got.

 		I asked if I may know the alternative task...

Quote:
You may, but you must complete it one if I am to tell you. Will you?


The "From" on this email showed up as "The Tower" whereas all the others have been from "Glass Heaven" including the reply:

Quote:
You are lost in a forest. You come to crossroads. A sign designates the path on the right "The Tower" and the path on the left "The Valley." Which path do you take? Why?


Obviously, I chose The Tower and got this response:

Quote:
As you walk, you start to see a tower on the horizon. At the top is a man, looking back and forth between something else on the horizon, a village, and the path you are on. He is shouting something. Do you listen?


Yes

Quote:
"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."

Do you follow the few from the village that follow the man back the way you came?


I continue toward The Tower

Quote:
You arrive inside the tower, the people that follow the man passing you on the way. A spiral staircase leads up to the top of the tower. You climb the staircase and reach the top. You can see the world before you, open as if a book. Everything is clear; you understand everything. You see the people that followed the man walking on the path you were on. They cannot see it yet, but there is a chasm cutting through the trail behind a hill. If they weren't careful, they could walk blindly and fall into the dark pit that you yourself nearly fell down, but went around.

They start to tumble into the pit, screaming for help as they fall into the blackness. Everyone falls to their sure deaths, except the Man that Made His Cry From the Tower. He runs into the woods surrounding the pit. You can't see him any more through the trees.

You've completed my task. You have your life pillar. Ask for the other tasks, and know that life is something to be valued and not played with, like the Man played with his followers' lives.


YAY! And with that I must get some sleep. I'll ask for my next task in the morning. Good luck guys!

 		Just got a response to a question from The Tower:

"I believe in you. You can find the right story.
i am unsilenced
the letters will be found soon
in the tower"

I feel like I am missing something.

 		Finished my "Life" task. It was completely different from Jain's, but had some of the same elements. The Tower is a common element-- used differently. I am too sleepy to post a transcription now so I'll head to bed.

See you tomorrow. Smile

 		Oh wow I have missed a lot Razz That will teach me for going to sleep. This is getting very interesting, not entirely sure of what to make of all this.

Do you think that the guy's dog has something to do with this, it is mentioned quite a few times in the blog
