I think it is great that you got to that level of exposure. It gives you a rare perspective on the whole thing that is really rare. Plus at the time you must have really been having a blast around the nuttiness of MMY. People around him were so intense and eccentric weren't they? But to have been in that position had a mythic quality that must have been really fun. Interesting detail on the mantras. I think the effect is that it made the priests want to touch teenagers!
