My mother-in-law is a Yuta, an Okinawan shaman, but apparently she had a friend who could see images of people's entire lives, from birth to death, when she met them. Ordinary

Utah have to first enter a trance-like state, and then wait for the Kami Summer to speak

to them. Otherwise, they can't do anything. But these so-called Sharp Utah apparently find

life incredibly exhausting.

They see other people's lives in their entirety, and if they see someone is possessed

by something bad, even if it's just someone passing by in the street, they have to stop

that person and help cleanse them.

Of course, they can't take money in such cases

either, because the Kami-sama were putting them to use. But if someone approaches them for help

and asks for an exorcism, of course they are allowed to accept money then. They don't specify

the amount.

And so, my mother-in-law's friend, I heard she now lives overseas in some Southeast Asian

country I've never heard of. She has a helper who does her shopping and other things she would

otherwise need to go out for, but she lives locked up in her house and never

goes out.

However, because important people like politicians and CEOs still visit her for help, she

makes more than enough money to live off.

Even if you can control a power like she has, having to constantly see such things must

indeed be incredibly exhausting.
