When I adopted her image, it felt very positive, at first—I constantly heard compliments from everybody around me. But then I got a lot of insulting comments questioning my intellect. That was painful and bad for my reputation, since I’m a spiritual teacher for many people.<br /><br /><b>What made you want to become a spiritual teacher? </b><br /><br />My out-of-body experiences began when I was a little girl: I could travel outside of my body to other planets and universes. Back then it happened spontaneously and now I can control my trips and travel only when I feel like it. For the last four years, I have been teaching seminars on meditation and out-of-body travel.</div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjrrH0LJolck_pFBRx3tTwldimc9cfNj3oQIDFNI8xXtD4G_Rpw3fxVy2NrcAAwNGKxmVZSi-BeBKi0cAcM5_5mfYe3iylIUmz24in2NVgFYKa5jKdzi4KlLWH0CrtkrchHJ6VkLBg3c/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnjrrH0LJolck_pFBRx3tTwldimc9cfNj3oQIDFNI8xXtD4G_Rpw3fxVy2NrcAAwNGKxmVZSi-BeBKi0cAcM5_5mfYe3iylIUmz24in2NVgFYKa5jKdzi4KlLWH0CrtkrchHJ6VkLBg3c/s1600/1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo: Sebastian Faena</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div id="posttext"><b>How popular are you as a spiritual leader?

I know only a few professionals of my level who have the skills to communicate with visitors from other civilizations. My experience is very wide. I can travel around the entire world, to the past and to the future. I also share my ideas on dieting with people. If you want to live a long life and stay beautiful, eat vegetables and herbs, eat very small portions—you will have more energy, feel more pure emotions, and that will make you a more creative person.</div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhWRmXlpMrP4guB2bu8PgeCzd9tPPGVn3FMmw1iOhAkDQD5GxpBYE6Qsg7-FFIeLhzjIm6hIyy1umhlmpLQ71mLXodXVwnTiWI-hYRc4dVqrpZqx8V2SLh0PbV9ngc0UiPuhB6eCMj8H0/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhWRmXlpMrP4guB2bu8PgeCzd9tPPGVn3FMmw1iOhAkDQD5GxpBYE6Qsg7-FFIeLhzjIm6hIyy1umhlmpLQ71mLXodXVwnTiWI-hYRc4dVqrpZqx8V2SLh0PbV9ngc0UiPuhB6eCMj8H0/s1600/2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo: Sebastian Faena</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div id="posttext"><b>Do you feel like your appearance is just as important as the spiritual work you do?

I don’t think I would be so popular if I looked ordinary. Every week I get emails from hundreds of fans interested in my spiritual seminars.<br /><br /><b>Many people are fascinated by your looks. How does that make you feel?</b><br /><br />I believe the way I look inspires other people to improve their appearance, eat healthy, and live a more active, creative life. It is very important to eat less, observe nature, live in harmony with your inner world.

Participants will be able to influence the intensity of each light by speaking into a special intercom at the tunnel’s center that records their voice and loops it. Louder speech increases the lights’ brightness proportionally, creating a Morse-like code of flashes throughout the tunnel. The individual voices can be heard as pedestrians walk through the tunnel, on 150 loudspeakers, one beside each light arch and synchronized with it.</b><br /><br />At any given time, the tunnel is illuminated by the voices of the past 90 participants. As new participants speak into the intercom, older recordings get pushed away by one position down the array of light fixtures until they leave the tunnel, so that the content of the piece is constantly changing.</div>
