I think I'm gonna go to bed so I can get up and be awake when the age is released.

(It's 3AM here)

I think I'm gonna go to bed when the age is released (it's 3am then

).

I think the actual events with the bahro will continue in Minkata. We will learn some new things about them, that will help us to understand the ongoing story.

Anybody knows at what time will Mintaka be toggled on ?

Please mention if your answer is a rumour or is from an official annoncement.

I assumed it was connected to the launch party. Details in a KI message

I was wondering about that.... Frankly a launch "party" seems in poor taste right now. Not that I want to stall getting a new age in any way at all.

You could think about a launch party as a celebration of life instead of a dwelling on death. There is nothing wrong with a celebration after a death. You could celebrate the fact that someone has moved on from their shell here on Earth to a new part of our Journey. As long as you keep the person who has passed in your heart celebrating their life is easy!

Think of it as an OOC event, then everything is just fine. And I hope there is some more story from Yeesha on this Age this time, if we actually DO get a ringy-thingy.

I wish we didn't have to wait until a launch party that I can't attend anyway!

I have to work tonight. :: sigh ::

Has it been CONFIRMED that Minkata will not be released until after the party?

Rusty_Russell · **Posted:** Thu May 24, 2007 3:35 pm

I don't know about after. How about during?

From my point of view.

Life, as I know it, is a kind of fatal illness with only one possible ending, "death". If you really love someone and no matter how hard it can be for you, it is a good thing to wish for them a better "quantum dimension". It is not because you are in a kind of "fiery abyss" (wars, suffering, killing, taxes, bullying etc etc) that you should wish others to share it with us.

I know a little bit of what I am talking about. My wife died of cancer at the end of the 70's and I did give her permission to leave this dimension. She passed away a few hours later. My mother in law who was in her familly, the transition-helper, said to me she had never seen a so peacefull face in all her helping life.

So, I agree with those we should have a big Party and we should all be very happy. No more suffering for the girls who passed away.

Btw,
Do not waste time feeling sorry for me. My wife's suffering was bad but the ending was good.

(05/24 20:59:07) Cate Alexander: I will not be taking questions at this time.
(05/24 20:59:59) Cate Alexander: This week has been full of tragedy.
(05/24 21:00:39) Cate Alexander: Our wounds are deep, and our scars will never completely heal.
(05/24 21:01:09) Cate Alexander: I cannot comprehend the loss that Michael is feeling now,
(05/24 21:01:33) Cate Alexander: but our hearts are with him and I trust that he will return when he is ready.
(05/24 21:01:49) Cate Alexander: There is much that we do not know...
(05/24 21:02:43) Cate Alexander: But we do know that the restoration we have committed to will fail if we do not overcome our sorrows and conquer our fears.
(05/24 21:02:59) Cate Alexander: There is much we cannot control...
(05/24 21:03:24) Cate Alexander: But we will continue to hold on to those things which we can.
(05/24 21:03:42) Cate Alexander: And so, we will keep moving forward.
(05/24 21:04:11) Cate Alexander: Many have dedicated their lives to this restoration effort,
(05/24 21:05:03) Cate Alexander: and to give up now would be a grevious offense..
(05/24 21:06:15) Cate Alexander: to the memories of all who lost their lives here and an insult
(05/24 21:06:35) Cate Alexander: to those of us who continue to work toward a restored cavern.
(05/24 21:07:07) Cate Alexander: With that in mind, I have made the decision that Minkata will be released on schedule tonight.
(05/24 21:07:35) Cate Alexander: We will reverently celebrate its opening as we honor the events of this week.
(05/24 21:08:02) Cate Alexander: How appropriate that the word "minkata" means "heavily scarred".
(05/24 21:08:29) Cate Alexander: May the scars of Minkata be a constant memorial of all we have lost.
(05/24 21:08:49) Cate Alexander: Thank you for your attention.

That best explains why the "party" is still going forward.
