5.Comments:

• I'm glad that Elizabeth isn't scrubbing floors anymore (that was her job before at the Ashram), instead she's the Key Hostess.
• I'm sad that Richard from Texas left (he went back to Austin) because he was Elizabeth's closest friend at the Ashram and was an extremely nice guy.
• I learned that kundalini skati means "the supreme energy of the divine".
• I never knew Elizabeth spoke a little bit of Russian.
• I can't believe Elizabeth changed her job again; now she's placed in the Office of Registration instead of being the Key Hostess.
