The Spanish missions in California

Haven't read it all (still got work here, as soon as I finish I can go back to the game), but it seems important, given Will's "I'm not Spanish" post:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_missions_in_California

And I'm thinking maybe we'll all get to the point where we have to follow to the Tower or the Valley.

Create us a mailing group?

Since we're having so many new things come up, I'm thinking about creating a Google group for us, otherwise we'll get lost with so many hints and stuff. What do you think? We promise to come back here and post when we have our forum.

If you all agree, please PM me with your email addresses so I can create it.

I am now at the point 100k is at, with the joy (red) asking me to tell him a story which brings him joy. The sender is The Tower.

Not sure where to go from here

My recent mail exchange with Will

Started last night. Still getting messages. I'll edit every time I have a new message. (italics = hidden message)

Quote:
Me:
are you the guy sending hidden messages?

Will:
What?

-Will


Quote:
Me:
Guess you're not the guy sending the hidden messages then.

Anyway, do you know what the Tower is? And would you please give us scans of the photo album you found at Lizzie's? The one with old photos?

Will:
It's Lizzy's album, so not likely. I can try, but no promises.

The Tower? Hrm. I have no idea, to be honest. There are towers all over
the place, and not just literal towers.

-Will

Do you know of any tower near your place that relates to the Spanish Missions?

Will:
My friends and I are going to visit one today, if that matters. Wait, it's
not a mission, but I don't know what it is. It's in Balboa Park, Casa de
Balboa, I believe it is.

-Will


EDIT 3: one more message:
Quote:
Me:
There's the California Tower in the Park: http://www.balboapark.org/press-photos/balboa-parks-california-tower-san-diegos-icon

Would you please try and go up there, see if there's anything worth of note for us? Like an envelope, a photo, the view from up there, anything?

Thanks

Will:
You can't go in it anymore, but...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFv64t2gM78

That's a video of a news story in which the reporter goes inside and looks
around.


I think there's definitely something to the Spanish Missions. I'll try to message him further.

EDIT: found this on Casa de Balboa: http://goo.gl/Nz9ym
EDIT2: and there's the California Tower: http://goo.gl/bg5XS

We might have to wait for his next post on the blog to find out what this latest trip is about. Also, do you think any of the images he has posted so far could be destegged? Not that we would have any idea of the passwords ...

I don't think the images would be any more than what they really are, at least for now. In fact I think the park's images were just a clue to where Will lives (Poway, CA, near San Diego).

Finally worked out what the "Spectrum" symbol that appears on everything is. It is either the splitting of white light, or its formation, depending on which way you look at it.

Though everyone else has probably already worked that out.

Though seeing as each branch of the church has its own colour - red, green and blue - and they write in those colours, do you think it would be possible that the "Hidden" text is merely just white text, as in the bottom section on the symbol, the white line which is the other three combined.

Either that or I am going way too deep with this and it is just hidden communication from someone else

EDIT: What the light blue has to do with anything I have no idea

Ok so I asked for my task for joy today and got this reply:

Quote:
You may. It is my hope that you can do this successfully; the others have yet to.

One of the teachings of the Glass Heaven is that we can experience joy only after we remove all sources of chaos and sadness.

The task you must complete is to do exactly that, remove all chaos and sadness from your life.

If this is too difficult, you may do the alternate task. alternate alternate alternate


asked for the alternate task and got

Quote:
The task is this: tell me a story that brings me joy. It could be however long you wanted, it could be șȋᶍ sentences if you desired. But it must bring me joy.

Remember: the right words in the right places can make all the difference.


special characters spelling out "six". I wrote my story to be six sentences long but it got rejected as well with this reply:

Quote:
While this brings me happiness, it does not bring me joy. I need a story of joy.
tell the others six


Did anyone else try making their story six sentences?

The Crystalline Lord?

The white pillar is the basis of it all, I guess. So the white text could be the Crystalline Lord, since he said once that he was one of our team members themselves. Isn's the Lord is within us all?

I guess the light blue pillar is something new that will show up. Maybe it's us.

So the hidden guy wants us to know about SIX. If you pay attention to the Spectrum, there're six branches (or 5 if you just see the colors). Only thing that occurred to me.

And Jain, check our recently created google group at: http://groups.google.com/group/glassheaven-team

This may make it easier to connect all loose ends!

How many of us are playing this game? And how many people have sent in stories for the Joy pillar? I'm sitting here brainstorming what the "six" could mean but I'm not having much luck yet.

Sent this of:

Quote:
Well thank you for the help either way.
Are you there? I know you are reading my friends messages
I am not much of a story teller though, I doubt I can bring you the joy you seek. However I truly believe I am without doubt. The path of the Glass Heaven is the true one, and by embracing it all I am left with is joy, banishing sadness from my life


And got this back:

Quote:
Devise a way to prove this to me, prove your devotion.
make your cry from the tower


Anyone got a way to prove my devotion?

EDIT: Just noticed the hidden text. I'm going to quote the shout from the tower, and see if that works

I got bogged down in some real life stuff but just noticed I had this in my inbox:

Quote:
If you are having difficulty, you can always do the other one.
remember
i spoke differently then
it seemed out of place before
tell him that


I'm gonna have to go take care of some things before I can reply but hopefully this will help you guys out a little.

Edit: maybe we reveal to the Glass Heaven that we are getting these hidden messages? Seems a bit scary to throw our message sender under the bus without even knowing who they are.

I've been on the Joy path since last night. My two stories have been shot down. I think they may have been more than 6 sentences. My hidden text keeps referring me to the tower. Tell him what the tower is.

I feel dumb.
