during this eye contact, I soon realised she was multitasking; she
was telepathically communicating to me while also answering
questions from people at the same time. This must take some
real skill. She said to me, “I recognise you, enjoy the experience,
but you don’t have to stay; this is for the public. These are basic
teachings.” I acknowledged this telepathic communication, and
I continued to stay anyway, fascinated by the whole situation. I

don’t want my masks turning into gold”, the priestess calmly
takes the mask from her anyway and says emphatically, “This is
necessary”. She turns the mask into gold and gives it back. The
woman seems stunned and just stares at her mask. The
