The metaverse is a digital creation of an interactive reality that can more easily accessed and altered by individuals. However, the questions posed by myself many and others is:
Is it a universe or multiverse? Will the metaverse remain as it is – decentralized? Will it turn into a universal metaverse How is it most functional? Which is mode is best for society?
Is it a universe or multiverse? So far it is decentralized in nature, thus making it a multiverse as such. Questions we seek to explore are:
There are many digital platforms that qualify as metaverses on their own such as Cryptovoxels, Roblox, Metahero, IMVU (my go to), Sandbox, World of Warcraft, Gather.Team, and PokemonGo. These platforms are used many purposes – work, play, commerce. They can utilize virtual reality, augumented reality or both.
With the above said, there is no one unified global metaverse platform. Right now, the metaverse is a multiverse. One can exist in many digital, and the case of augmented reality, physical, incarnations such as in Jet Li’s movie The One.
Will the metaverse remain as it is – decentralized? Indeed, there is no one digital alternate reality that mirrors the real world.
On platforms such as Roblox, IMVU, Second Life, and Avakin already offer that which those such as Sandbox offers.
How is it most functional? Why hype up this concept of the metaverse?Being decentralized as it is, it is reminscent of the internet prior to big social takeover – monopolies by companies such as Facebook and Google. Prior, to Facebook and Google centralizing the internet – there was more autonomy and more niche enclaves – more variety and choices. Independent thinking and unique interests – individuality – lead the charge lead the charge. However, big social encouraged and environment of conformity and uniformity – group think – infuenced by selected and paid public figures. Governance Vs. Autonomy is the issue that concerns us. Which is best?
Governance The missing element seems to be universal governance. A one global metaverse equaling to or even replacing the physical growing global society would probably, though I don’t recommend, a one world government of sorts.
Autonomy The point of the digital worlds is to access the freedom and liberty that is limited by physical world – socially, spiritually, morally, biologically, and legally. However, in the ever-growing socialist led global society of physical world, social behavior measured by the standards of progressivism rule. Such rule and any other type of heavy-handed rule would crush the purpose of the metaverse for the everyday individual.

The metaverse has opened the door to multidimensionality, thus creating a multiverse. The metaverse carnally combines the realities of the physical world with the fantasy of the virtual world. An environment is created in which one can build their own reality with no little or no hinderances and obstacles nor guiding principles such as ethical behavior and accountability, to be able to do whatever one’s wants even to the detriment of one’s self and others. The increasingly realistic nature of the technology that build and allows one to venture into the metaverse makes easier to get into sexual sin. This true particularly when it comes with one’s ability to be able to compartmentalize each world/reality that one can build in the metaverse. It is possible to commit sin in your heart without carrying out the sin in the physical reality, thus multiply . GOD vehemently speaks against fornication and adultery. Here are a just a few passages in which GOD speaks against them:
Matthew 5:27 – 32
27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4:1 – 4
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Romans 1:16 – 32
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Galatians 5:5 – 26
5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
****One must be careful, because it is far too easy to rationalize your activities in the metaverse by stating : This is virtual world, it is not real, all that happens here is truly a figment on the imagination.****
God warns against us having vain imaginations:
Romans 1:18 – 32
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The metaverse can bring about vain imaginations on steroids! My fantasies in the metaverse were plain. As I referred to in my previous episode and article, I created a relationship with the Michael Jackson of my mind (I never met him in real life and I don’t know who he really was as a person – only the way that he’d presented himself in the media.), I changed the appearance of my avatar Evangeline to look the way that I felt like looking at the time. She adopted alot of children, around 70 children, the way that I will, though not 70 children, in real life. She also got married. I, personally was more focused on the wedding planning, than anything, lol. I never felt an urgency to hurry to get married in real life. Raymond was a fun experiment to me. Yet, after I married them to each other to deter other people from approaching them, I found myself slowly getting involved with sexual sin through watching them and putting them in various poses as I took pics of them. These pictures below are tame, I don’t want to corrupt anybody, however I wanted you get an idea of how one’s actions can escalate.
I really tried to convince myself that I wasn’t in sin because it was pretend. Nobody was being harmed. It hurt GOD. My sin hurt GOD. He blessed me to have technology at my fingertips. What was I doing with it – sinning. I was fornicating in my mind, in my heart. Prior to my creating Raymond, I dated real people on IMVU. I got married on there, had a bad breakup on there, and some intimate encounters as well. I was in sin without physically committing the sin. Please be careful. It is too easy to rationalize yourself into sin.
I will be honest, I had a porn addiction from the time that I was 4 years old until the time that I was in my 20s. It was my daddy’s fault. He and I shared my room because he worked 12hr – 16hr shifts overnight, so I slept with my mother at night while he was at work and he slept in my room when he came home. I had a lot of toys and he used to hide his porn magazines amongst my toys. When I first found one, I was scared to say anything about because I didn’t want to get in trouble for having seen it. Being in the virtual world in various forms made it harder to overcome it. I’m telling you, please be diligent and be vigilant when you are in the virtual world. Focus on GOD.

Multiplicity in the Metaverse: My IMVU Avatars Evangeline/Raymond – Evangeline & Raymond
The metaverse brings about the dawning of a multiverse in which virtual reality collides with physical reality to create the blurred lines of an augmented reality. A surreality. It creates a dimension in which multiplicity of the mind and the projection thereof is not only a possibility but is very possible. Be diligent and be vigilant. Do not let the metaverse become your place peace, because you won’t find it there.
Only Jesus can bring you perfect peace and everlasting life. Please don’t give into the temptation of letting vain imaginations take over your life. The virtual world is more flawed than this physical world. Indeed it is a place where the moral imperfections of man are strength by moral relativity and very few boundaries. This can lead to a multifaceted self-destruction that will impact you in the virtual world and physical world.
John 6:37-43
37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
How do I know this? I have done this. I did it a little over ten years ago. My avatars Evangeline and Raymond did it. That’s right. They are both my avatars. They have both been in the same space at the same time – two separate personalities yet very much the same person. Not multiple personality or dissociative identity disorder. They have conversed with one another and other people all in the same instance.
How did it happen?
First, I was on YoVille on MySpace in my spare time in 2009. I liked playing with my avatar. I even made rooms on there for my mother after I saw the type of decor that she liked. I would have bought her being on YoVille was so much fun. I tried other programs but there were none that I like more than YoVille at the time…..until I saw promotions for IMVU. I tried it. I got hooked. Yes, later that year in 2009, I created an account on IMVU. Then, later on, I created an account for a male avatar, because I wanted a Michael Jackson avatar, also (I had had a crush on him since I was two years old). He turned into Raymond, like that metamorphasis in the Thriller video, lol. I talk about it as well as how they got married and their children later in this article. Some of my pictures of my IMVU avatars are early pics that I had taken using the program. The program pictures at that time were low resolution, that is why they look blurry. Later, I learned to take screenshot of my avatars and products for clear pictures.
They give you a starter packet which includes a room, hairstyles, skins, clothing, furniture. I didn’t leave the room for a long time. I didn’t get her other items for awhile either. Then, I got curious about the catalog and I decided to see what types of items that they had. I started with clothes. I love fashion design. My initial reason for signing up was to style the avatar. In real life, I am a fashion designer in addition to being a social researcher and writer. The more I customized my avatar, the more she started to look me.
There were even fashions that were on there that I couldn’t find in my size in real life. I got different hairstyles in different colors. It was so much fun. I realized that I could get other rooms for her and decorate them. Loved it. The first room that I got for her was pink (my second fave color).
After customizing my avatar for awhile, I wanted to learn how to make products on IMVU. Thus, I became a developer. Here are some of my products (Hairstyles and Clothing):
I won’t lie. I did things for her that I felt I couldn’t do in real life. In real life, I want a lot of children – 10, to be honest. I also want to adopt children. Therefore, I got 70 animated IMVU children for Evangeline. I only intended to get 4, but they were so cute, I kept getting them. I had to remove most of them because the room wouldn’t load as a result of there being too many objects in the room.
Raymond and Evangeline only have two children between them. That is because I saw some cute maternity outfits, lol. I decided to have them do a pregnancy. Many people have virtual marriages and pregnancies. Some even role play with real people as their children. Be mindful not to make this your real life in the sense that you marry a fantasy and divorce reality. This is my hobby. Its fun, but I am mindful not to let it takeover nor influence my reality, aspirations, and expectations.
My friend Treya made a male avatar named Trey (names changed to protect their privacy) and actually IMVU married a woman and they started a pregnancy not long after Evangeline and Raymond started a pregnancy in 2010. They even had a birth center and invited our mutual friends. Took a limo to the birth center. The wife seemed like she was kinda competing with Evangeline because she’d ask about things such as:
Had I decorated the twins nursery?
Had I gotten the toys for the twins?
Was I going to put them in pre-school?
This was my hobby. The pictures that I take of my avatars are for fun and I love photography. I wasn’t that committed. Then she’d brag about what she was doing with her and Trey’s baby, lol. This was my hobby. The pictures that I take of my avatars are for fun and I love photography.
Something just occurred to me, she might have felt some type a way about me and Treya spending time together. I don’t think that she knew that the male that she was talking to was really a woman. I named Treya’s male avatar. She was so convincing, I wondered if she was a dude pretending to be a woman pretending to be a dude.
Moral Compromise
Yes, the metaverse will cause you to compromise your morals through rationalization. You’ll ascertain that the virtual world isn’t real and you’re only role playing and therefore you aren’t actually carrying out the activities in which you partake in the virtual world. This type of thinking may lead you into getting involve into sin, that will grow more wicked as you desire more excitement and satisfaction. It is like a drug addiction or a porn addiction. Therefore, if you venture into the virtual world, you must do it in moderation. Don’t look to it to be your comfort.
Pray for discernment when engaging in certain activities and interacting with others. Pretend can turn into something more serious very quickly. Some people try to do that which they would or have done in real life. They make friends, get married, have IMVU children (real people as well as animated objects), get divorced, etc. Others live alternative lifestyles in the virtual world. Many alternative lifestyles are pagan, occult practices at their core. – even religious worship. Transhuman and trans-species cultures are also prominent in the metaverse.
I even got imvu married to an Italian guy whose avatar is named Tony. That was kinda fun until I looked at his photo album and saw that he IMVU married someone else that same weekend. I felt some type way about it. Though, we knew were we role playing, I still felt some type of way. I left him. He pursued me for months until I….took him back, LOL. We even started talking to each other outside of IMVU. His name was actually Leo. We became friends outside of IMVU. It didn’t get serious. I hope that the is doing okay. I hadn’t talked to him in awhile. Interestingly, Leo was the beginning of me completely focusing on GOD.
After I started going to public chat rooms, I liked going to the music club rooms. Tony never went to any with me and when he did, he just wanted to look. Most of the time, he wouldn’t go with me. I wondered if he was seeing someone else and didn’t want to be caught – like guys do in real life when they don’t want to be seen out in public with you, lol. I started going by myself. Though, he would invite me to his room, I ignored him when I was in a club (hahahahahahaha – yeah, people go clubbing in the metaverse). After he got married to me and then another woman on the same weekend, I wasn’t studying about him like that no more, lol. One day, I was in a room, and he sent me a message and I ignored him. Tony bust off in that mug (lol) and came and got me. I was too stunned to see him. I was ignoring. He kept trying to make me leave with him. I was talking to another guy and I was having fun. I stayed. I regretted it. That other guys changed his avatar. He looked human, initially. Then, he transformed it to look like satan, right in the middle of us being virtually intimate. I tried to move my avatar and some sort of way he had his avatar pin mine down. That’s never supposed to happen. He overrode control of my avatar. Evangeline couldn’t move. I have only experienced something like that one other time – Raymond was in a photoroom and a guy was trying to get more acquainted with him. I put angel wings on Raymond to take pictures of him. The guy kept following him with a black void accessory. Every time that he went near Raymond, and he followed Raymond around the room, the room would turn black. I couldn’t see anything in the room. It annoying, a little funny, but overall annoying. Back to the club incident, that scared me so bad, I won’t lie. I broke her free, but I don’t know how. Then, another guy sent me a message and I talked to him. I told him all about it. I was too shamed to go to Tony and tell him about it, LOL. Eventually, me and that guy got intimate and he looked normal and but I later noticed that his head had a serpent tongue. I was like, WHHHHHHHHAAAT????????? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?????!!!!! I was shaken. I was so hurt and embarrassed that I was too shame to whine to GOD about it. I knew I wasn’t doing right and shouldn’t have been in any of those relationships – including the virtual marriage with Tony. I felt so horrible. My morals were so compromised because I rationalized that I was in the virtual world and that nothing that I did was real. I went to a church on IMVU for the first time, the next day. Yes, there are churches in the metaverse.
Evangeline and Raymond
When Michael Jackson passed away, my dedication got strong. Yes, I still had a crush on him, LOL. I had had a crush on him since I was 2 yrs old. On IMVU and in reali life, I started wearing Michael Jackson t-shirts and getting his memorabilia. Then, I found a cut out poster of him on IMVU. I pretended that we were married and had LOTSSSSSSS of children, hahahahaha.
I started to dress Evangeline using a male avatar to change to make her look like Michael Jackson for certain pictures. Then, I created another account and made a male avatar. He was going to be Michael Jackson.
Then, my friend girls had an intervention, LOL. They made suggestions as I was customizing the avatar’s look. When they finished, he looked nothing like Michael Jackson, lol. I kept going to church on IMVU after I made Raymond and I started taking Raymond to church with me.
I even gave Raymond a career. He’s a mechanic and owns his own mechanic and autobody shop. He repairs cars, builds cars, and customizes cars. Evangeline is a homemaker.
Why Did I Marry Them to One Another?
I married them to one another because women can be really aggressive. He gets direct messages and chat invites. He gets them even when he is with Evangeline in a public chat room, lol. Other women in the room send him private messages. I got tired of it. It was interrupting my conversation flow. I was typing for two avatars at the same time. Once, a guy flirted with Evangeline right in front Raymond and I got mad, LOL. They were right next to one another and it looked like they were a couple. They were at a table by themselves. When dude approached her with me right there, I wasn’t having that, lol. I was in character, haha. He was asking her what her name was, and before I knew it, on Raymond’s account, I said something vulgar in claiming ownership. I was in character when I typed for him so he wouldn’t sound feminine. I still can’t believe that was my reaction. Be careful, virtual reality may make you over into someone else in reality. I married them to one another. I took wedding pictures of them to make it look like they were really married. I love wedding fashions and planning. Planning their wedding was so much fun!!!!
Raymond & Evangeline‘s Wedding
It was so fun that I started planning vow renewal ceremonies.
Vow Renewal Ceremonies
Vow Renewal with the Children
I don’t wish that to have the life that Raymond and Evangeline have together. I want the life that GOD wants for me. I want to be who GOD wants me to be – living in GOD’s purpose for my life – nobody else’s life.
Being in the virtual world can be fun, relaxing and even productive if you have a business. Please don’t let it replace you. True peace only comes from GOD. Don’t get lost in virtual reality.
Seek Jesus . Philippians 4:7 – 9 says:
Philippians 4:7 – 9 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Only GOD can bring you perfect peace. He can bring you perfect peace regardless of your circumstances. Please focus on GOD!
