But that was about to take a turn. The driver was a follower of Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh, and the conversation that night set her on a new, dual existence--Jen the medical sales rep and Marga Sahi the Rajneesh disciple. Was it the strain of maintaining this double life that brought on an episode of visual disturbance--double vision, no less--in 1994?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Family dysfunction, inappropriate relationships, life as an 'Orange Person', a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis ...
