X-Message-Number: 7566 Date: Mon, 27 Jan 1997 00:24:18 +0900 From: mizuho hirose <> Subject: Join us! We are Metamorphosis Society. Hello, This is Mizuho. I post this mailing list for the first time. I'm Japanese. In Japan, CRYONICS is not so popular, but some people are interestead in CRYONICS including me. We argued again and again how we can reanimate. And we decided to organize this society. Join us ! I want mails from anybody who wants to take part in the society, and who is interestesd in. ********** Introduction to the Metamorphosis Society *********** Choice Between Two Options There is no knowing if the future is filled with bliss or desperation. We have two alternatives to choose from; viz, to participate in an operation to produce a bright future or to let existing forces drift yourself away. This page (message) is designed for the sake of the people with the view of choosing the former. Furthermore, this is intended toward those of you who wish to travel to the future themselves, so-called "Cryonists." Creating a Bright Future My fellow cryonists and those of you who are interested in cryonics, it is quite nesessary that we should try our best in order to make the future best we could. With that and becoming a person eligible for being re-born into a brand new, completely different self, we will travel into the future. Join Us! Our objectives are three-fold. Come join us! We will (1) Take action for the future and take over to the future those who wish to live in the future by retaining their necessary information, memories, till reanimation is practicable; (2) Reanimate members as "what they had been" as reanimation becomes practicable; and (3) Try our best to make the above-mentioned objectives achieved as early as possible. What does reanimate them as "what they had been" mean ? It means to reanimate people in accordance with their former level of conduct and ethics. The future is not for the rich who don't believe in evolution. The Metamorphosis Society consists of people who trust in the future and go to the "limits" of their ability for the sake of the future. What's the "limits," then ? Take this as an example. If you try to carry your wealth to the future for your own use, prosperity, you are not going to the "limits" of your ability. You should offer the money for the good of the world peace or for the research on reanimation. If you leave some of your money for your wife and kids, it is regarded as good. However, if you are thinking of taking your money to your future self, you are out of the list of eligible members at once. Only money you can hold until you are reanimated in the future is that which you need to retain yourself till then. Also, if you have done harm to someone or yourself, you will be reanimated to be regarded as so. You can't be made different. When will the time of reanimation come ? We think it comes around 2150. We presume we can restore memories and put them into any reanimated form with nanotechnology around the year 2100. But we need to wait a little longer till the cost goes down to a reasonable level. If you are a member, you don't have to pay for the reanimation. Future members will take care of it. For that as well, we should keep the Society running and growing. Activities for Now One of our two main activities is linking members with a mailing list. Joining the list, members can communicate and share what they are doing for the future. You can also establish a cooperative group if such is needed, but it should be established on a member's (or members') own initiative and basically the Society does not get involved in it. A member should declare he/she will prepare a certain amount of money for the development of the Society, the usage of which will be discussed among and decided by the members through mailing into and out of the mailing list. The other main acitivity is to contribute to the realization of reanimation with the money we receive. Once you declare your promise, you have to put out the share according to what the Society decides except only one instance. The instance is when you leave the Society. Also, it is needless to say that you are not asked to contribute more money than you declare you are donating. You might want to note that the amount of money you are contributing may influence the position of what you have been. In an extreme example, some may declare "zero" for the contribution and they may be banking on a revolution by others. News Letters The Metamorphosis Society does not issue news letters for members regularly. Rather, we should enlighten non-members on our belief, although we irregularly send out news letters to the members through the mailing list. We Say Again "Join Us !" The mailing list of the Metamorphosis Society is maintained with the money the members contribute. We presume our fund will allow us to run the Society for the next ten years. We want you to participate in the activities. Travel with us to the future! Create and share it with us! The future is for our children but at the same time it's for us, too. Send your e-mail to You will be added to the mailing list. Again, share the future with us! Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=7566
