As I finished Olga’s book “Entering the circle”, I did a quick search on internet because I was curious of what she was doing these days. I thought that others in the group would be interested in knowing what she has become.
She now lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She published another book “The Master of Lucid Dreams”, about her experiences in Samarkand, ancient capital of Uzbekistan (apparently in the same vein as “Entering the circle”).
Here name is now Olga Yahontova and she has just created Cliffhouse Publications; there is not much on the website yet, including on her blog “Breaking the Walls”, created on 06/09/2008. So all of this is fairly new. She posted two articles since then, one on practicing magic today, the other one on addiction. Still to see what will come. For some reason, I have felt sad and uneasy reading what she is now writing and looking at her picture on the website, as if something had happened to her in the meantime. In one of her posts, she writes “After years of extreme experiences and searching, I have found nothing. No concepts, no recipes, no solutions, no mysteries solved. I have arrived at this point in my life with more confusion, bewilderment, and amazement for life and its riddles than I ever had before. And I like it. Because all of those things - concepts, solutions, and resolutions are truly just the building blocks of more walls inside the mind…” Maybe it is just the way it should be.
For those interested in having a look at her blog:

thank you so much fro your researches... I wanted to communicate with Olga to ask her a piece of advice about contacts in order to plan a future travel experience to SIberia, hoping to meet the wonderful people she met and she describes in her novels... Beatrice (Italy/Tuscany)
I had a similar impulse upon finishing both her books - finished the 2nd one yesterday. Very intense. My feeling on her website is mixed as well. On the one hand - a great idea and feels "cozy" in a way, on the other hand I feel a distancing from Olga, as though she wants to reach out but whether anyone can get close? Yes, we're all in our processes and it's good that she is where she is and we are where we are, and connection is happening. Integration as well. Warm greetings, Rebecca Noelle (eastern Germany)
