I have just created a new social network just for Metaversalists, called the Metaversal Lounge... Come check it out... It is a bit friendlier and more welcoming environment than a boring old team site is. |

Calling all Metaversalists! We are working on establishing a presence in Second Life ( http://secondlife.com/), so that we can build a small chapel and education/outreach center there, and try to recruit some new members. Second Life has millions of residents, and it is much cheaper and easier to rent or build there than it is in the real world! So, it is a good target for our first (virtual) brick-and-mortar facility. I need at least one person to go into SL so that I can create a Metaversalism
group there (a group with only 1 member will get automatically deleted
after a short time). My name in SL is Thanos Endrizzi... Come and find me. Note: Once you get past the juvenile dicks that hang out around the entry portals, and find your way to some of the nicer scientific or cultural areas, I've found that there are a lot of people in SL who are much nicer and more mature... So don't let bumping into a few a-holes early on dissuade you. |

After a year-long hiatus I have recently started up church activity again - posting on wis.dm, writing a book, recruiting new members. We are trying to raise funds to get registered as an official nonprofit religious organization.

I'm working on an essay called "The Case for Metaversalism" which attempts to present the arguments for Metaversalism (or at least, for its metaphysical framework, Metaverse Theory) in a systematic fashion. It's not yet finished, but comments on it are welcome.

Yesterday I spent a fair bit of time cleaning up and reorganizing the Metaversalism.com website. The navigation menu now works in a more consistent fashion; page appearance is more consistent, external links are separated from intrasite links in the navigation menu, over-large pages were split up into several pages, some text was added, and the church logos were all updated to use the new motto. Another round of revamping will need to come later when we introduce the "Foundation for Metaversalism," as it may call for a new logo. I'm not yet sure whether the Foundation should have a separate set of pages of its own, or share the same pages.
Incidentally, I need to know from members whether they would wish to be members of the Foundation as well as the Church. We can keep both organizations around, at least temporarily, as separate legal entities. They may serve distinct purposes (with the Foundation focusing on philosophical education, and the Church doing community outreach at the local level).

Thanks to help from XRayMartian, we have adopted Ex nihilo omnia fiunt ("From nothingness all things are made") as the new, more grammatical version of our Latin motto. We need to work on updating all copies of our logo to include the new motto.

Members, please check out our new list page for keeping track of different possible variations of our Latin motto, and help us figure out which motto is best! Please feel free to consult various online Latin-English dictionaries, translators, and grammar guides to aid you in your quest. Something wrong we don't know about with one of our phrases? Let us know! Have a better one? Please suggest it! Thanks!

I started writing this essay, a working draft which may be found in our File Cabinet, as a place to record my thoughts about the answers to questions like "Why spread Metaversalism?", and "How best to spread Metaversalism?" Please read along and give comments as I proceed. So far, I have only written part of the preface. Does it sound too politically motivated? Thanks for any feedback... ~Lord Thanos

To assist in Dr. Thanos's drive to enlighten those outside the Metaverse, I have added 2 wis.dm questions:

Team, we are a little bit behind schedule in our new-member recruitment drive. According to the growth projections that I posted last September (also attached below), by today we were supposed to have exceeded 800 million members worldwide. Whereas, in actuality our membership is currently still stalled at the 7 members that we already had as of last September 11. Let's get cracking, and try to make up for lost time during my absence of the last 6 months. ~Lord Thanos
