[See Figure 14 .] I don’t know what it is, but it is there, and they are bringing me over to the side.
    The rectangular construction that Betty referred to as a “hatch” looked similar in appearance (but not in size) to the enclosed walkways employed at airports between terminal gates and parked aircraft. Its surface was marked with both jagged and straight lines, which looked to Betty like graphic representations for wind and lightning. At this time, the hatch extended downward out of the wall and into the floor.
    When Betty returned through this room later, the hatch had been telescoped into the wall, revealing an opening in the floor over which it had extended.
    Next, Betty was directed to a platform illuminated from above by streaks of dazzling light. (See Figure 15 .)
    Betty: I’m seeing this brighter light shining down, and it—it’s shining down so much, it’s leaving like, ah, thin, tiny bars of light, surrounding it—like you do in a cartoon with a light bulb… having streaks of light from it, coming down.
    â€œWould you get under that, please?” the entities asked.
    â€œWell, what is it first?” Betty asked.
    â€œIt is just a cleansing thing.”
    â€œWell, will it hurt?”
    â€œNo,” the entities replied. “It is just to cleanse you.”

    Betty: And so they didn’t touch me, but they held out their hands as if to assist me. There seems to be a platform there [

], and I’m stepping on the platform. The light’s above there. And it’s bright—bright, and it’s got those streaks of light coming out of it. It seems like it’s moving me upward!
    The platform itself moved upward and immersed Betty in the brilliant light.
    Betty: The light is getting brighter and brighter. It’s all engulfed in light—like I’m engulfed in light. I don’t know if there is a covering or what, but I can’t seem to see them. It’s just brightwhite light.… I’m just standing there. It doesn’t seem to hurt. It is not hot. It’s just white light all around me, and on me. And now it is going back down. The platform is going back down…it is stopping.…
    Betty stepped off it, and the entities said, “Would you follow us, please? Now!”
    â€œWhere are we going now?” she asked. “Just please follow with us.”
    Betty: They motioned again for me to get to the back of them and follow the leader.… And he walked to another place where a door is opening—whooshing open.

    Betty faced the opening to a darkened wedge-shaped room. (See Figure 16 .) The lead entity gestured, holding out his hand for her to enter. “It was a little bit dark in there,” Betty recalled.
    â€œWould you please change?” the entity said.
    â€œI don’t want to change!” she protested.
    â€œPlease! Would you just please change?”
    â€œBut why do I have to change?” Betty persisted.
    â€œThere’s a white garment there for you,” the entity said. “Would you please get into it?”
    Now Betty bridled. “Look, I came here of my free will. Why do I have to change into this now?”
    â€œPlease change. Quazgaa is waiting for you.”
    â€œI want to talk to him!”
    â€œPlease change,” the entity repeated. His persistent request drummed in Betty’s ears until she finally relented. The white garment hung without visible support in the changing room.
    Betty: And he kept on motioning to go into that room. It was kind of dark. I didn’t like it. And so I said, “All right.” And I had to step up into that room too. And I’m in that room and it’s all—it looks like a pyramid on its side with a bubble where you went into the door.… Just enough standing room.… There—there’s that white garment
