And

I can't quite remember the specifics here, but what they're doing is testing you because while I was staying in the ashram, two women got kicked out after this video filming.

They got kicked out of the ashram, weren't allowed to be there anymore because they were labelled as superficial, fluctuating, changing women.

And what they had said was no.

And there was a part of me that knew that this was a rhetorical question.

There was only one answer that they were looking for, and that was to say yes.

And I'm not sure how I came to that conclusion, but I knew that it was too risky for me to say no.

And so when they pitched that question to me, and it's, you know, a very vulnerable situation, I felt sick at the thought of it.

I had absolutely no desire to meet this fugitive in hiding, but I was too scared to say no.

And I said, oh, you know, how would you feel and what would you say?

And I said I would feel really nervous and extremely anxious at the thought of that, but, you know, of course I would say yes.

even though internally all I wanted was to say no.

It scared me because I was like, what sort of position does that put me in legally?

What if I have been to see this person who's in hiding?

What does that mean for me?

I was terrified.

I didn't want to get caught up with the law.

I didn't want to go and meet this fugitive.

So they make you write down dates within, it has to be within a 12-month period.

Oh, like when you can go?
