Yet Another Update: Kicking "Tealers" Down the Memory Hole (See Below)


Some years ago, when I was doing the Flower of Life teacher training with Drunvalo Melchizedek, one of my fellow travelers shared with me that he was troubled by what he called the "Drunvalettes." The term was his own invention but there was no mistaking his meaning. He even pegged a few of our classmates with that term. He liked Drunvalo quite a bit but that there was this kind of adulation by some Flower of Life folks made him uncomfortable. He had some concern that Drunvalo might have been fostering this unquestioning sycophancy. So one day when we were enjoying a break, he asked Drunvalo very directly how he felt about his Drunvalettes.

Dru shook his head and sighed. "I just try to stay out of it," he said.

That's one approach. There's a conversation to be had, for sure, about whether ignoring the phenomenon and trying to distance oneself from it is enough. Is it necessary to more actively discourage such behavior? But I think the one thing we were all in agreement on -- Drunvalo, myself, and the gentleman who raised the concern -- was that such hero worship was not a good or healthy thing.

The term "tealer" has similarly been thrown around to describe those who've drunk the "teal-aid." Some of her more passionate and angry defenders who've posted on my blog have been quite pejoratively labeled "tealers" by other commenters. So imagine my horror when I read this in a recent TEAL post about her seminar in Atlanta.

I am struck by how much the imprint of the days of slavery still remains on some of the older buildings and railways here in town. It has soaked its way especially into the old wood that dots the brick walls. The venue for yesterday’s workshop was one such a building. It was a fitting energy, seeing as how the theme of the entire workshop was self-liberation.

This group which is being called the “Tealers” is the most open minded, eccentrically intellectual group I have ever beheld.  I think it is now my favorite part of holding these workshops.  Long-term friendships are formed.  People find their place to belong. And I get to witness the fact that this world is in good hands.  All across the globe, they form a supportive web of awakening.  They touch the lives of the people in the cities they live in.  It is like a little legion of enlightened spirits, whose practice is that of non-resistance and expansion.

You're Freeeee! Wait. Not so fast.



TEAL's posts are always a box of contradictions. The scenery is beautiful. The people are lovely. The town oozes its fetid history from every nook and cranny. Life is beautiful and filled with joy. I wander through a briar patch of PTSD triggers that hurl me into seizures and despair. My life is so rich and full that I've written a how-to book on self-love. Everything reminds me of my ritual abuse and being sewn into corpses.

And, bonus! This post comes with a healthy dose of bigotry... and, for good measure, a naked lady.

But I digress. She actually wants "tealers." It's positively Orwellian. You too can be liberated if only you will define yourself by your adoration of TEAL.

As I said in my first post on the topic, I have never seen a spiritual teacher who has so blatantly courted adulation and fostered dependency. What I've learned two posts and volumes of feedback later is that it's so much worse than I thought.

Recently, yet another TEAL related Facebook group launched: Teal Tribe Dating. That might not be so bad right? A nice little meeting place for people of similar interests under her general auspices. But then I read the copy.


Teal Tribe Dating


"Teal Tribe Dating" is a group for human beings(Well... at least in the 3D) who are single and looking for a loving relationship with a like-minded partner. Teal Tribe turned out to be an easy awesome way for people who are familiar with Teal to find their true friends and soul family, and now you have a chance to meet your true love too. That idea works by the law of attraction: The vibration in this group is high because of the high vibrational message of Teal Scott; Which means meeting high quality and spiritual-minded people. To break the ice, here is a suggestion for introducing yourself:

. . .

Yes, you are part of an elite group of "high vibrational" people because you like TEAL. TEAL's followers are your true soul family. And you can all bond based on your shared devotion to TEAL. You can even find the love of your life as long as it's really all about ♥ TEAL ♥.

This all looks more and more cultish by the day. I can't help thinking of the Moonies and their arranged, mass weddings.

Obviously, Teal Tribe is not a cult like Unification, Hare Krishna, or other highly organized groups. It's not a totalitarian regime. But there are definitely cultish elements. It's enough, in my mind, to be concerning. I say this, in part, because of what I'm hearing from people, publicly and privately, about having difficulty extricating loved ones or even disengaging themselves from her strange pull.

Much of the feedback I've gotten has been from people who described themselves as having been "obsessed" with TEAL, or words very much to that effect. Some said their interest moved rapidly from interest in what she was saying to fascination with her and the soap opera that is her life.

That she turned her life into a kind of reality show called Shadow House, which opened a window into her "intentional family," fed the fascination. Her life is decidedly more interesting than her spiritual teachings. It's full of sex, fights, verbal abuse, and melodrama. Some of these programs made viewers privy to things like TEAL's humiliation of the aforementioned Fallon and also of a gal named Cameron, whose major crime appears to have been that Blake was attracted to her. The fourth wall was torn down completely as viewers made the whole thing interactive. The audience participation portion involved TEAL fans taking to chat, Facebook, and Teal Tribe to verbally assault these people for their grievous mistreatment of TEAL. Anyone who questioned TEAL's treatment of them was likewise set upon by the group.

Anyone who has ever witnessed the vitriol that TEAL inspires in her fans when they seek to defend her would have to wonder just what is meant by "high vibrational."

As I said in that first post, the Fallon episode suggested the confessional element of cult behavior referenced by Robert J. Lifton, as Fallon opened himself to group abasement for his "sociopathic" behavior. As I've learned more about these Shadow House livestreams from those who've viewed them, I've realized that it fits that criterion even more directly than I'd first thought. In Shadow House events, TEAL puts her "family" members in the hot seat and scrutinizes their shadows. Any viewer of these broadcasts would become privy to very personal, private information about her inner circle. According to many accounts, Cameron was compelled to participate over her objections. It ended badly and ultimately caused her to quit the area. This description of the confession element of cult indoctrination is adapted from Lifton.

Sins, as defined by the group, are to be confessed either to a personal monitor or publicly to the group. There is no confidentiality: members' sins, attitudes, and faults are discussed and exploited by the leaders.

Closely related to the demand for absolute purity is an obsession with personal confession. Confession is carried beyond its ordinary religious, legal, and therapeutic expressions to the point of becoming a cult in itself. (Page 425.)

Public confessional periods are used to get members to verbalize and discuss their innermost fears and anxieties as well as past imperfections.

The environment demands that personal boundaries are destroyed and that every thought, feeling, or action that does not conform with the group's rules be confessed.

Members have little or no privacy, physically or mentally.

In assessing the shadows of her housemates, TEAL relies heavily on Byron Katie's "The Work" for methodology. Katie is, herself, on the radar of cult watchers and accounts of her antics certainly do raise an eyebrow. For instance, she also does a homeless exercise very like, if not identical to, the one practiced by James Arthur Ray that resulted in the mysterious death of Colleen Conaway.

I would encourage those familiar with TEAL's organization to look over some of the cult literature linked herein. These two pages include characteristics identified by a number of cult researchers: Intro to Cults 101 and Cult Characteristics. I'm not as acquainted with the inner workings of TEAL world as many readers are but even I can see that these pages point to any number of red flags.

For instance  Rick Ross claims, "Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful." TEAL's vicious attacks on Fallon and Cameron as well as other thoroughly embarrassing Shadow House outbursts are not only justified but extolled as a virtue. TEAL is courageously showing the world her shadow side instead of hiding it like typical gurus, it is claimed. 

Cults are typically formed around charismatic leadership. Lifton observed, "The guru is worshipped, rather than the principles or doctrines (on which the sect is supposed to be based)." As stated, for many of TEAL's followers, the days and nights of Teal Bosworth Scott Swan have upstaged her spiritual teachings. She has made her personal life a major focus of her work, with her Shadow House livestream events and her confessional style blogging.

The American Family Foundation says, "The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment." As discussed, her defenders are passionate, indeed, as I and other critics have learned the hard way.

Carol Giambavo puts it like this: "Charismatic or messianic leader who is self-appointed and has a special mission in life." To say that TEAL is self-appointed and has announced a "special mission" would be to understate her accounting. As discussed, she has described herself as a Eucharist projected here by an Arcturian panel and genetically engineered to be white and beautiful enough to be heard on "every single continent." 





This, again, is the interview in which she explains in painful detail why it was so critical that she have universally appealing features. But not only is she more attractive than those poor, ugly African women, she's not like the rest of us mere mortals at all. She's not even really human.

(9:30) So I am a soul fork. What that means is from nonphysical energy -- so most people in the planet, they're non-physical energy that is projected forth into a physical human body. I am non-physical energy that is perfect-projected forth into an Arcturian body -- an extraterrestrial body. Now that extraterrestrial being has chosen to then project forth as a human body twelve times. This is the twelfth incarnation. And it's quite, it's quite funny, ironically, because before I even came down, um, there was an entire panel of beings, Arcturian beings, sixth dimensional beings, who even chose the way I would look in this life....

(16:15) I'm now three points of perspective. Most people are two. Most people are the higher self and their human perspective, two points of perspective. I'm three, human, extraterrestrial, and nonphysical.

Special. She's very, very special. She also has no idea what irony means, because there is nothing in that story that is remotely ironic.

By virtue of her specialness, her followers are also special. As stated, they are "high vibrational."

As per the American Family Foundation, "The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity)."

You mean like a "supportive web of awakening" or a "little legion of enlightened spirits" who are devoted to an Arcturian projecting into human flesh to act as a Eucharist?

"Tealers" and "Teal Tribe Dating" members are told they've found their "place to belong" and their "true friends and soul family." It sounds an awful lot like the "love bombing" described by the Cult Information Centre: "Creating a sense of family and belonging through hugging, kissing, touching and flattery."

According to  the American Family Foundation, "Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished." Or as Steven Hassan puts it, "No critical questions about leader, doctrine, or policy seen as legitimate."

Many people report having had their comments deleted from TEAL's blog, when they raised uncomfortable questions or pointed out discrepancies. References to these deletions -- or having such comments held up in moderation -- are peppered throughout the comments on the two previous posts. Notably, a frequent commenter on TEAL's blog named Lena had her account deleted with her entire comment history. When this deletion was called out in the comments on my blog and then by regulars on TEAL's blog, Blake finally responded. He claimed that it was an error on the part of an overzealous admin who did so out of love for TEAL. I asked Blake to explain how it was that his claimed no-censorship policy was never adequately communicated to the admin and why it was that so many reported having been censored. That was weeks ago. He has never responded to my query. That exchange, such as it was, can be found here.

More to the point, consider how TEAL has responded to the questions I have raised in my two posts. She has called me a "hater" who "crawled out of the woodwork" to try to co-opt her growing fame. She has accused me of causing her great emotional pain. Her posts in response to my questions serve to polarize her most devoted followers against the very act of raising questions or having doubts. It solidifies an "us vs. them" attitude towards anyone who would dare question, which Hassan identifies as one of the methods of "thought control."

"Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as 'persecution'," says Rick Ross. In TEAL's case, it's morphing into paranoia. In a recent post, she cites her critics as justification for ramping up the already very noticeable security.

I’m sure some people are wondering why I bother having security personnel at my workshops if I teach (and believe) the concept of “I create my own reality”.  So I wanted to explain it to you.

. . .

Part of the contrast involved with fame is the contrast of having “haters” and “antagonists”.  We chose the potential of this contrast before even coming into this life.  We chose it for the sake of our own expansion.  The experience of these types of interactions and people, leads to the desire and therefore creation of staying true to ourself regardless of opposition, benevolence, unity, appreciative focus and love within our own lives and within the universe.  This is part of why we chose the “fame path” to begin with over other paths we could have chosen.

Another cult indicator is a lack of fiscal transparency. As Rick Ross puts it, there is "No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement." The billboard campaign is illustrative. After a number of people mentioned in comments on my blog that they wondered what had happened to all the donations to this project, the issue magically appeared in a new blog post. (That there is a call and response thing going on between my blog and her posts has been noted repeatedly.) But this explanation was at least a day late and a buck or two short.

As per usual, there is an enormous learning curve with any new endeavor.  The first crowd funding campaign we did accomplished almost nothing.  The perks we offered turned out to be almost as expensive to create and provide as the money people were donating.  On top of that, one of the people helping with the campaign, offered a perk that wasn’t his to offer due to a copyright someone else had on his work, so we ended up being forced to pay a bunch of money to a third party person for a perk that had already been delivered.  In the end, we made too little money in profits to accomplish many of our goals.  But having learned our lesson the hard way, we are planning in the near future to start another campaign with the very same aim.

So, it would appear that TEAL's idea of financial disclosure goes something like this: All that money you all donated? It's pretty much gone with nothing to show for it. Can we have some more?

Use of "deception" in recruiting and fundraising is cited by Hasssan, Giambalvo, and the U of C, but it also kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? Aside from the murkiness about people's donations, there's a lot about TEAL's claims that raises questions. Of course, whether or not she was specially designed by an Arcturian panel is a little hard to validate one way or the other. Such "revealed knowledge" is integral to many a religious experience but the difficulty in fact-checking means we accept it on faith or we don't.

But there is also a lack of empirical proof to things like her very central claim of Satanic ritual abuse. Many such claims were made in the 80s and 90s. But TEAL herself admits that there's no evidence other than the say-so of victims like herself and claims that most of those are too terrified to come forward.

As I wrote before, to TEAL's great consternation, the FBI investigated claims of Satanic ritual abuse and found there was no real evidence. Psychologists and other experts who testified in court cases against abusers have since been discredited and largely discounted as it's come to light that false memories can be implanted during therapy. That said, a great deal of TEAL's narrative comes apart if that doesn't happen to be true. In fairness, she may believe it whether or not it's true.

When I was looking into Byron Katie for this post, I came across another troubling bit of information. Her story of awakening and TEAL's are strikingly similar. Both involve insects which inspired radical shifts in perspective during very dark passages in their lives.




TEAL's story of the "little ant" that awakened her to the awareness of life teeming merrily all around her even as she was confined to a hole by her Mormon Satanist abuser starts at about the 17:00 minute mark. The inappropriate laughter as she begins to tell it is particularly jarring.

Byron Katie's story of awakening while staring at a cockroach can be found here.

Less than two weeks after I entered the halfway house, my life changed completely. What follows is a very approximate account.

One morning I woke up. I had been sleeping on the floor as usual. Nothing special had happened the night before; I just opened my eyes. But I was seeing without concepts, without thoughts or an internal story. There was no me. It was as if something else had woken up. It opened its eyes. It was looking through Katie's eyes. And it was crisp, it was clear, it was new, it had never been here before. Everything was unrecognizable. And it was so delighted! Laughter welled up from the depths and just poured out. It breathed and was ecstasy. It was intoxicated with joy: totally greedy for everything. There was nothing separate, nothing unacceptable to it. Everything was its very own self. For the first time I — it — experienced the love of its own life. I — it —was amazed

In trying to be as accurate as possible, I am using the word “it” for this delighted, loving awareness, in which there was no me or world, and in which everything was included. There just isn't another way to say how completely new and fresh the awareness was. There was no I observing the “it.” There was nothing but the “it.” And even the realization of an “it” came later.

Let me say this in a different way. A foot appeared; there was a cockroach crawling over it. It opened its eyes, and there was something on the foot; or there was something on the foot, and then it opened its eyes — I don't know the sequence, because there was no time in any of this. So, to put it in slow motion: it opened its eyes, looked down at the foot, a cockroach was crawling across the ankle, and … it was awake! It was born. And from then on, it's been observing. But there wasn't a subject or an object. It was — is — everything it saw. There's no separation in it, anywhere.

In the midst of this experience, the four questions that would go on to define "The Work" were born: Is it true or can I really know that it's true? How do I react when I think that thought? Can I find one peaceful reason to believe that thought? Who would I be without the thought?

So, here we have two women, in the depths of despair, after years of suffering, who both realized they could simply shift their perspective while staring at bugs. It's a little coincidental, doncha think? And Byron Katie is one of the only sources TEAL acknowledges drawing from.

I still have a hard time seeing how either of these teachings differ from telling people they can heal themselves through willful denial, but that's probably a discussion for another day.


"To us it's all about truth. And we have an addiction to it. We have this absolute addiction. Worldwide addiction to the idea that we have to know what is true, which is just ridiculous. Because most of us are killing ourselves with what we think is true. So the question is why do you want truth to begin with? I want truth 'cause I think I will be happier if I have truth. Okay, well what if the truth is this and that makes you feel like crap. Does that really make you feel better? Why are we going about it the long way? Why not just decide that what matters is that you feel good? It's the only reason you want truth anyway. And most of the time when people realize that, life becomes a bit more soft. You know? It becomes a bit more about does this benefit me, not is it true." ~ TEAL


It has been suggested by many people, myself included, that TEAL sounds an awful lot like Abraham-Hicks. But TEAL says no. At around minute 20:00 in the Nova Zem interview posted above, she says she'd only learned about Abraham channeler Esther Hicks about a year before because "someone" who was listening to her drew the comparison. She gives Abraham-Hicks a pat on the head for being the "most accurate" of channelers but this comes in the midst of her explaining why what she does is so much better than channeling. She really is a higher consciousness being. She's not just channeling one, which is all we ordinary humans can do.

That interview took place in March of 2013. But Blake Dyer, who is pretty much her right hand, knew about the Abraham teachings at least as far back as March of 2011, two years, not one year before. Now is it possible that there's some confusion about the dates? Sure. Is it possible that she and Blake didn't confer? Maybe. Is it possible that it's entirely coincidental that TEAL's teachings are "effectively identical" to those of Abraham-Hicks, as a commenter noted in response to Blake? I guess it's possible. What is stranger is just how it is that we know Blake was familiar with Abraham-Hicks in March of 2011. It's because we know to a near certainty that Blake was at that time doing a lot of his TEAL promotion under the name of Jason Freedman, who wrote this comment on an Abraham-Hicks discussion forum.

Hello all,
I am a free lance journalist who is a long time devotee of a teacher called Teal Scott (The spiritual catalyst)
When I was discussing Teal's teachings to a friend a while back, they said wow... That sounds just like what Abraham is saying. So, I decided to check it out.
I love the messages of both these Teachers (which are so very similar) I can't tell you the good it has brought to my life. I believe we are presented teachers just when we need them most.

How do we know that this Jason Freedman was actually Blake? Therein hangs a tale.

Soon after I did my first post on the woman then known as Teal Scott, a gentleman commenting under the moniker Mykeyta offered some background. He had once considered her ex-husband Mark Scott a good friend. Blake Dyer had also been a friend. The friendships were strained by his growing discomfort with TEAL's many claims and their absorption in her ambition. When an opinion piece was published in the local paper, discussing TEAL's claims of Satanic ritual abuse, he was troubled by the swarm attack on the editor who wrote it and any other commenter who didn't accept her story at face value. More than one of them were evocative of his friend Blake so he came to the conclusion that TEAL's "army" was largely made up of sock puppets. In particular there are several comments in that thread by Jason Freedman. Mykeyta found that Mr. Freedman had written the "puff piece" I mentioned in that post. He also noted that the picture of Mr. Freedman looked an awful lot like Blake Dyer. He called the number listed for Mr. Freedman and found that he also sounded a lot like Blake Dyer.

I don't know Mykeyta any better than I know TEAL or Blake Dyer or anyone else in their sphere, but to me his story had the ring of truth. More than TEAL's stories do at any rate. A photo taken from a distance in front of the Great Wall of China -- a place he knew Blake had been -- and his account of vocal recognition make for an intriguing story, but they're not evidence.

Flash forward to a couple of days ago when, on my second blog post on the subject, Mykeyta recounted the story to someone who very understandably hadn't read the 1000+ comments on these two posts. Another person called Ima Guest had been having trouble posting some comments due to computer issues but emailed me something more like documentary proof that Blake Dyer and Jason Freedman are one and the same. And it all comes down to that phone number.

Here's the number for Jason Freedman:

I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that Jason Freedman is Blake Dyer.

This would mean that Blake Dyer, under a pseudonym, wrote up an interview with a former girlfriend to promote a business, Teal Eye LLC, of which he is the Director. He did not disclose his close association with TEAL or her business. Instead he posed as a fictional reporter "who writes for periodicals both nationally and internationally," but whose byline, strangely, only seems to bring up that one story in searches.

Worse, he used this fake persona, once again, to comment on the Herald Journal piece where he argued from authority as a reporter with a twenty year career. These comments appear alongside other comments from sundyer, Blake's official moniker, and who knows how many other socks.

Mr. Freedman wrote three comments in response to that column. They are the only comments he has  posted to date to the Herald Journal.

His first comment, posted at 10:25 am on Mon, Mar 28, 2011:

I'm totally appalled by the mocking and disbelieving tone of this article. "Just another reader" and "Bluto" and "DL in Den"... you are full of crap. I have worked for 20 years in investigative journalism,. I have seen reports like this one float across the desks of reporters only to be ignored because no one likes to touch these stories. Not because they are not true but because society is not ready to face the bitter reality that it does happen and did happen this time. Society's blind ignorance to this happening is why it continues to happen. I'm totally Ashamed that any of you would think this woman would have anything to gain from telling her story. Instead, she risks everything. She risks her own safety, credibility and connection by admitting these things. Women like her are the rare, brave, exception to the rule of silent victims. Anyone who does not stand beside her participates in silencing victims and therefore siding with perpetrators everywhere. Perpetrators BANK on victims being discredited as some of you have done.
SHAME ON YOU FOR YOUR IGNORANCE AND THE HARM IT CAUSES.
the only reason the columnist mentioned her book (which aside from the foreword has nothing to do with abuse) is because he saw an interview with her in it talking about the book on Park City TV. The book is the reason he even heard this story.
He admitted this himself.
I thought this editor did an injustice to victims everywhere by releasing this column with a "tale tale" tone to it.
That was the only thing "LAME" about this article.
I'm embarrassed to be human today having read some of the un supportive comments that are being written about this.

His second comment, posted at 6:57 pm on Mon, Mar 28, 2011:

I got very upset about that. I did not mean to be insulting. The issue is this... I happen to have done a lot of journalism in jails where I talked to three separate prisoners who confessed to me directly about how they would go about mentally programming children. I have heard it from the horse's mouth. Not the victim's mouths.

His third comment, posted at 9:02 am on Tue, Mar 29, 2011:

The only reason I can see for people to be so adamant to discredit claims of ritual abuse is if they themselves where practicing participants.

Mr. Freedman also wrote a letter to the editor, making basically the same case.

In response to the article titled “Claims of local torture cult got this editor’s attention,” featured March 27, I am appalled by the disbelieving tone of the article addressing the ritual abuse suffered by the subject of the aforementioned article, “Teal Scott.” I am a freelance journalist who has seen reports of ritual abuse in our state float across the desks of reporters and be ignored for 20 years. This ignorance to the validity of these stories is exactly why they continue to happen in our community. As a result of this article, I have researched Teal Scott myself only to find that she is not to be discredited. It is time that the citizens of Utah came out of ignorance about the ritual abuse (especially satanic ritual abuse) that continues to go on in the state and stood behind those who are brave enough to come out of hiding and say something about it.

If Blake and Freedman are one and the same, as they surely appear to be, that would mean that in order to attack and shame people for questioning the veracity of TEAL's story, he's adopted a fake persona and proffered as evidence prison interviews that never happened during a journalism career history he's made up. Blake Dyer has raised mendacity to an art form.

Pay attention, TEAL. That is irony.

Speaking for myself, a realization of that kind of fraud would cause me to become disillusioned. Disillusionment is painful, but I prefer it to the alternative -- believing in an illusion. I guess I'm one of those people who's addicted to truth.

I have experienced similar disillusionment. I have learned to my great dismay that teachers I have followed were not what they appeared to be and even that they were baldfaced liars. I have discovered that I was being manipulated and mislead. It was painful. It did not "feel good" to learn it. I'm still glad I learned it because it freed me up to seek elsewhere for spiritual education and guidance.

And I have felt very foolish. Like many people, I used to think that I was too smart to fall for con artists and cult leaders. I was wrong. It was humbling. But humility is a great place from which to start over.


"When I hear someone say that only stupid people fall for fraud, I feel like asking for that person’s phone number. But here’s the thing: I didn’t want to talk to stupid people, because stupid people don’t have $50,000 lying around to give me. You would be amazed at how many doctors, lawyers, engineers, and college professors I have ripped off. The bottom line is, fraud is a crime that can happen to anyone, given the right con artist and a victim with the right set of circumstances." ~ The Anonymous Confessions of a Con Artist


In the comments, following my last post on TEAL, a woman named Becky asked what I and other commenters recommended for spiritual guidance and inspiration to fill the gap left by TEAL. It was a good conversation that can be read in full starting on the first page of comments on that post. I'd like to address it here because my rather lengthy attempt to address it in the comments was eaten by blogger. But also because I think it's a good jumping off point to a larger conversation about healing after this kind of disillusionment.

I was thinking about how defensive people get on the whole Teal subject, and why that is... It occurs to me that maybe it's because in a way she gives a lot of people hope. People hear her story and feel empowered by it, if she can "beat those odds" maybe they can too.

I think they start to get angry because they might feel betrayed by Teal when the story starts to fall apart, and that hopeless feeling starts to return. That's probably a space a lot of people don't want to go back to, so they live in denial about the story crumbling, but they still have to direct that anger somewhere.

Somehow the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" comes to mind. A lot of people are taking this stuff very personally and it might be a good idea to ask why that is?

I was just thinking about my thought process through all of this, how my emotions came into play when I was trying to figure out where I stand on all this Teal stuff.
I guess I'm asking, what else has helped you, what gives you hope? What inspires you? What's helped you grow as a person?

I'm curious about what resources you trust that you would direct people to if they wanted better themselves, but didn't necessarily know where to go?

What she is describing in the first part of that comment is cognitive dissonance and it's key to understanding manipulation and indoctrination. Leon Festinger did the seminal research in the 1950s. I touched on this briefly here, as well. Festinger theorized that people are most comfortable when their thoughts, feelings, and actions, are all congruent. Among other things, this means that we are strongly motivated to continue believing falsehoods if no longer believing them comes into conflict with life choices we've made, money we've laid out, and happiness we've attained by believing in them. So very often we will cleave to the falsehood with greater ferocity to protect our own sense of inner harmony.

I am always a little reticent to make general recommendations because there is no one size fits all when it comes to spiritual teaching. In particular, when a person is coming out of a situation where someone has been abusing spiritual authority, as I believe TEAL does, the last thing I want to do is run the risk of further over-running instincts that may be quite damaged.

I will tell readers what I tell my clients. My recommendations are my opinion. If what I say doesn't feel right for you, disregard it.

If you are coming out of any abusive situation, spiritual or otherwise, there is probably soul loss. For that I recommend soul retrieval. I had several soul retrievals with a skilled shaman. They helped me to restore parts lost to abusive teachers and healers. They also helped to restore missing parts that had left me vulnerable to such influences in the first place. They helped, period. My path takes me through shamanism and indigenous teachings so that work is a fit for me. The seminal book on the topic is Soul Retrieval by Sandra Ingerman. For more information, a good resource is Christina Pratt's internet radio show, Why Shamanism Now? The entire catalog can be heard for free on iTunes and other streaming sources. Finding information on some of the relevant broadcasts can be found by searching the word retrieval on my Celestial Reflections blog.

Another great resource for restoring the soul and repairing damaged instincts is Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. I call it, among other things, therapy in a book. It really walks you through a process. I've written more about that book and the power of story here and here.

Mostly, I recommend following your nose and seeing where it leads you. It's just a good idea to get in touch with your instincts and learn to trust your sense of smell first. Christina Pratt talks about bouncing everything off your "truth cord." It helps if you've located that line that runs right through your core.

In much of the developed world, we've been raised to think of God and the paths to God as outside of ourselves and dependent on spiritual authority. We've been acculturated to seek the teacher who speaks with certitude based on things only he or she could know and, as such, bestow upon us. But I think argument from authority is a logical fallacy and have learned to avoid such teachers like the plague. This, in part, is why the "cosmic answer lady" persona in the Ask Teal videos is something I find so off-putting. I don't trust ex cathedra teachings.

Spiritual guidance should take you inward. It should foster your personal relationship with spirit. It shouldn't be about the teacher. No teacher should be giving you answers. They should only be teaching you how to learn.

I don't recommend authors and teachers who tell you that spiritual development is simple, particularly if they give x number of steps. To quote Joseph Campbell, “If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.”

There are any number of authors and thinkers I could point to who delight, inform, and inspire me. Their names are peppered throughout my writings. But when I really think about what inspires me, it's not a person. It's spirit. It's my personal relationship with my guides and the pathway to the numinous that runs right up the center of my being. It's the amusing game of finding Easter eggs hidden in the most unexpected books and movies that my guides point me to. It's those moments of reverie that come simply because I am staring at a piece of art or listening to music. It's the constant reminders from the spirit world that even when I think I'm running my own life, I'm not. I'm being led by the hand by something so much wiser than I am and that it is that inner compass that has told me to pick up a certain book or watch a particular movie or go to a certain place at a certain time. I have incredible gratitude to teachers and healers I've worked with like Virginia Sandlin and Christina Pratt. But in the end what I am grateful for is that they consistently pointed me not towards themselves but towards my own connection with all that is.


Addendum: My two previous posts on TEAL are worth reading for additional background and for the phenomenal discussions that have taken place in the comments:

Who and What is Teal Scott
The Artist Formerly Known as Teal Scott


Update: "The Noncasts"


In March of this year, TEAL and her new husband Sarbdeep Swan introduced a new video series called "Tea Time with Teal" -- not Tea Time with The Swans, mind you. TEAL is still the staaahhh! Only her name can appear on the marquee. I think it's in her contract.

These weekly episodes are called "podcasts" but aren't anything of the kind. Whereas podcasts are hosted on a platform, such as iTunes, so that they can be easily downloaded, kept, and enjoyed on other devices, these are just more garden variety YouTube videos. Podcasts are designed to be accessible, easily disseminated, and portable.

Ironically (note the correct use of this word), these not-podcasts are announced only to an email list, are posted on a hidden, unlinked page on her website, and the YouTube videos are set to private. I won't call them podcasts. I have variously referred to them as: stealthcasts, not-podcasts, tea things, narrowcasts, and narrowcasts for tea-sipping pod people.

The icing on the irony cake? The second of these husband and wife discussions was about TEAL's insistence that their private life be open to the public.

These tea things have provided great fodder for discussion in the comment thread for this blog post. The conversations evolved into a regular feature I call the noncasts. These write-ups mirror the subject matter in that they report on discussions of the tea things I've had with my husband. The official title of this series is "How to Drive Your Double PhD Husband Crazy by Making Him Watch TEAL Videos."

As with the tea things, these are not indexed, freestanding posts. If you're interested, you'll have to dig for them. They can only be found in the comment thread for this post. Page searches for the words noncast or tea should get you there.

* Addendum to the Addendum: With the end of teal's marriage to Sarbdeep, comes the definitive end to "Tea Time with Teal," and, therefore, to the noncasts. I will conclude this exercise by adding to this already absurdly long post a complete list of the noncasts. I will include a link to the initial comment of each noncast, for those whose browsers can interpret that, and the page link for the relevant comments.


In those teacasts, we all got to know a third member of teal's menagerie: the frog. He emerged as a star in his own right. Calm and stoical as only a butler of such impeccable credentials can be, he kept his head when all about him were losing theirs. The frog recently launched a video channel and has begun producing videos in the odd hours, as his schedule permits. The first includes his thoughts as interpreted by his growing legion of fans. So, teal, Sarbdeep, and frog, thanks for the memories.





Further Update: Regarding Jason Freedman, et al.


This post raises a question about the odd correlation between Blake Dyer's and Jason Freedman's likeness and phone number. It took an incident in the Teal Tribe Facebook group to get Blake to address this question, but he has. It would have been nice if he'd done so directly with me, but I'll take what I can get.

What I could get was some screenshots given to me by Teal Tribe members of Blake's attempts to explain this odd coincidence, and another oddity involving a claimed psychiatrist, William Macey PHD [sic], who also bear's Blake's likeness. I have discussed this matter in the comments, but it occurs to me that it, in fairness to the reader and to Blake Dyer, it should also be placed in the body of this post.

The following screenshots are not in any particular order and vary in format, as they came from various sources in various forms. I don't actually know how the dialog unfolded. I only know that these questions were raised in the Teal Tribe group and Blake attempted to answer at least some of them.

Blake denied both knowing Jason Freedman and knowing how it is that he came to have the same phone number. He did so more than once as follows:

Blake acknowledged that the photos used by both Jason Freedman and William Macey were of him, but denied knowing how they came to be associated with either:

So, my question to Blake, which I posed down in the comments as well, is simply this. How is it that he does not know Jason Freedman? Freedman apparently did a face to face interview with TEAL. Couldn't he just ask her? And if he is in the dark about this interview with the mysterious Mr. Freedman, how is it that he promoted said article on Facebook?

Yet Another Update: Kicking "Tealers" Down the Memory Hole


It brings me no joy that I must, once again, update this excruciatingly long post. But it's recently come to my attention that teal is trying to rewrite history. Above I quoted a passage from her Korean spa post about the world-changing potential of the "Tealers." At some point between the original publication of that post and its move to her new website, the passage I quoted above was changed and the word "Tealers" removed. But the original text is still visible on the cached version in the internet archive, or wayback machine.

Here is what that passage looked like when it was originally published in 2014.

Here is what that passage looks like in the current version on her new website.

Her clean-up was incomplete, however. The word "Tealers" appears further down in the post.

    A lot of this conversation was hampered for me by the conflation between masculine with men and feminine with women. Even if we want to reduce the whole thing to heterosexual relationship stuff, it all makes more sense when we can appreciate that men and women contain both polarities, which allows for us to relate (feminine principle) to one another.

    My husband heard some very pointed subtext in her whole discussion of masculine (forward moving) is in its "divine essence" when it's "supportive" of the feminine. Subtext: If you loved me, you'd support me.

    My husband also found it a little disturbing the way she kept kind of asserting her approval -- "Yes!" -- like, you know, he needs her approval.

    I thought through the whole thing, he came across as very open, conversational, and self-revelatory, and she came across as very controlling and lectury.

    Once again she just spouts one unsourced assertion after another as if she's quoting holy writ that only she can read. And for the record, I wouldn't care if all she said was opinion and not sourced to anything but her internal process, if she would just own that. But she describes these things as if they're objective facts she knows because of her "universal perspective" or whatever. But that is always my major problem with her. In contrast, Sarbdeep comes across as introspective, constantly self-assessing, and like he's just sharing what he's learned throughout his life.

    This was kind of funny. At one point, Sarbdeep said he went through a cynical stage, which teal pronounces as not divine masculine.

    TEAL: "Cynicality is not forward moving energy."

    Jason: "Cynicality is not anything! Cynicality is not a word!"

    LOL... You probably had to be there.

    What else... hmmmm....

    Okay, at around the 15:00 minute mark, there's a discussion about their "choice" to leave last weeks "podcast" up. Teal does not mention that taking it down would completely negate everything she has said about her universally sanctioned desire to keep everything open to the public.

    Here teal describes that fight as a clash between masculine and feminine energy. Huh? See to me that just looked like a man and woman having an argument.

    At the beginning of the discussion teal explained that divine masculine and feminine don't oppose each other aren't polarized. But here she explains that this was divine masculine and divine feminine energies clashing. They aren't "moving in the same direction." They're moving "against each other."

    This would seem to be an example of her definitions having, um, evolved very rapidly -- 15 minutes, actually. (to be cont.)

    So here's my question: If divine masculine is forward moving, and divine feminine is receptive, how can they both be moving forward, together or otherwise?

    Next question: If divine feminine energy is receptive, how can it clash with anything? How on earth can feminine energy ever be like a bulldozer? Bulldozers are receptive now?

    I gotta say, overall, she came across as far more aggressively masculine and usually does, if you lay aside the coquettishness. He comes across as much more internally balanced.

    And I'm afraid I have to bring up wardrobe. Why not? Teal always seems to reduce the divine feminine to things like pretty hair and a smashing outfit -- like that lady with the, ya know, hat we discussed a while back.

    Soooo... what the fuck was she wearing? My husband thought the drapes. (???) An overblouse that in no way matched her skirt or sarong or whatever that was, and what looked like a sports bra that didn't match either piece. Note, though, that even with all that fabric, she managed to expose her midriff. That's skill.

    He looked fabulous. He managed to wear all soft, muted greys and browns and yet completely upstage her through pure fashion excellence. That is also skill. The man is just elegant. That cardigan is like butter.

    If you look at them and their clothes against their respective backgrounds, there's a very pink is for girls, blue is for boys thing going on.

    Anyway, this concludes this week's "How to Drive Your Double PhD Husband Crazy by Making Him Watch TEAL Videos" noncast. I've probably forgotten some things and if I remember them, I'll post them later.

  6. Elena, I am so sorry. I totally meant to post the YouTube link because you're right, the embed on her page plays like shit. I discovered that last time.

    And I think my response to that video you posted came from my divine masculine essence -- you know, the part that is supportive of women and doesn't want to see my sisters preyed upon by creeps.

  7. And I just have to say again how weird and, leave say, incongruous it is that these "podcasts" aren't podcasts and are effectively hidden. if you think about it, all her most personally revealing videos are the least accessible. The Shadow House shit is on livestream and you have to pay for that, right? And these potentially volatile, revealing discussions with her husband are for her newsletter subscribers which she only announces in her other videos, so they're largely hidden. How exactly does this comport with her whole "privacy goes against the universe" ethos? Short answer: It doesn't.

  8. Thank you for the links :-D

    I like Mr. Frog's perspective the most from the Tea(l) series, if you ask me. Tired of all that divine blah blah blah...

  9. I have no idea what came over Teal to attend to write an article about this event and not saying anything.... because suddenly "her perspective doesn't matter as she is a spiritual teacher". Very upsetting and englightening at the same time. That is a rough one.

  11. Teal appears "masculine" to me, very in your face with her assertiveness. Her energy is not very soft and receptive IMO. A transvestite can dress as a female but still seem like a male presence. I see her preachy determination to represent a divine feminine as rather incongruous with sexual hormones testosterone heavy. I always cringed at her come hither as it looked very much like pick up aggressive.

    Sarbdeep has a softer energy, more feminine than Teal's. I don't mean "gay" in case someone construes my perception because energy balance is not the same as gay. When I hear her talking now, I tune out from scratchy abrasive sensation and turn off. She does not look at all attractive now and I know I have been healed of needing her screen now.

    But I like the comments section visitors and as it's Teal keeping the family going hehe, here I am again. I feel I love LaVaughn and Elena and GA and Kevin and Justin too and all others in this gateway. May be a transfer of addiction HOHO.

  13. The Disappearance of Flight 370
    http://blog.thespiritualcatalyst.com/the-disappearance-of-flight-370/#comment-10657

    ...."My inbox this week has been flooded with questions about my thoughts regarding what happened to the missing flight. And now, the suffering caused by this event aside, I’m laughing inside. Why? It does not benefit our governments for the people of earth to know that they are well aware of the existence of intelligent life in the universe and that they HAVE in fact detected alien spacecraft. But… I’m laughing to myself because even if you believe there has never been contact between extraterrestrial life and humans, after the disappearance of this aircraft, no one gets to use the fact that we have not “detected” alien spacecraft as a reason to discredit their existence. Why? Because our own basic, archaic technology has proven to us that even IT is capable of going undetected by us. How embarrassing.

    Many people want me to use my astral travel capabilities to solve the mystery of what happened to flight 370 and why. I have not responded to that desire for one important reason. Firstly, my theories on what actually happened should not matter. I am a spiritual teacher. And from my perspective, my opinion about what happened will not serve anyone. It does not do any good. Why? By looking for the physical answer to this question, we avoid much more important questions, questions that lead us to a better life.... "

  16. Golden Andarochka, this too shall pass. What you are feeling is quite natural, these might be the stages of grief because, it seems, you are experiencing loss related to teal, similar to the end of an important relationship...Usually people go thru denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance....

  17. Although you too young to be a babushka you certainly talk sometimes like one :D

    Oh denial already passed
    during denial I thought LV is a stupid cow (sorry ha)

    Oh anger already passed
    during anger I wrote over 500 comments on blessed LV's blog (ha)

    Oh bargaining already passed
    during bargaining I was juggling counless truths also Teal's& LV's

    Oh depression already passed
    during depression I missed the Teal I feel in love with and felt lonely without her so true sounding truth

    Oh acceptance is in the making
    I am cool with Teal doing her thing and I doing mine

    My comment was directed towards her latest The Disappearance of Flight 370 because my heart is pounding so hard since this happens.

    LV was the best therapy eeeeever. Thanks LV

  18. What's not to understand, GA? People want teal to use her astral travel abilities to find useful, factual information just as she claims she does with things that can't be verified in any way like hospital visits to nameless people. And she can't. The rest is justificatory. It's a little prestidigitation. Don't look over there, that's not good. Look over here at this shiny, shiny... thing. I mean for fucks sake. Just say your psychic ability doesn't work... that way you claimed it could work... Don't beat people up for wanting to know what the hell happened to some flesh and blood human beings.

    Oh, and she's "laughing inside." Really. it's funny that a plane disappeared and a whole lot of human beings are probably dead. That's funny. Or is it funny that some other human beings are concerned and frightened by this bizarre event. That's funny.

    I'll have to take a look at the rest of it later. I can already tell it's... not good. Dear God the woman is tone deaf.

    That part I don't understand. I can usually jump like a frog fron one perspective to another and try to feel myself into it until I see the structure. But this one I don't understand whatsoever. No entrance.

    You know, since I left the taxi cab I don't want anything from Teal anymore. That's the peace. She doesn't need to bring me anywhere else anymore. BUT if the taxi cab turns around and turns in front of me into a dog who is pissing against my leg.... I get really ANGRY. This was a "pissing dog" - blog post. And I have a feeling that she is not just pissing against my leg...more legs to come.

    ey I was studying Teal for 1.5 years on the molekular level so to speak.

    if I can read Teal stuff without loosing my s!@£$ or hearing angels singing, that would be the final proof to me that I am over my ex spiritual lover.

    Indeed she was my lover for a while. Is like a break up.
    for me at least. (that sounded waaayyyy to dramatic now. I take it back)

  25. I guess I am still trying to create new habits to fill this gap which I usually spent with studying her stuff. You know - there are no half ways with me. I am passionate and fully in it. Whatever I focus on. So my boyfriend is delighted about the break up - more time for him hahaha. But I still need to fill that gap with something else or as "can't stand it anymore " expressed: To move on to something based on my desire. ok that's enough of an explanation.

  26. and I am curious how Teal is moving forward. Indeed. No , not looking for piss but felt anyway pissed off by the entry.

  28. "...but felt anyway pissed off by the entry"...because (thanks for the question Miss Elena), because I am still curious about her abilities. So now I just answered my own original question "why am I so angry about the post". I am angry because the whole bladiblablablablaaaa just said the she has no clue and with it dies another part of Teal for me.

    I am wayyyy to dramatic.

  30. I read the (not a) review of the noncast and thanks for the synched presenting of your question.

    "If divine feminine energy is receptive, how can it clash with anything? How on earth can feminine energy ever be like a bulldozer? Bulldozers are receptive now?"

    It reminded me of something important to me, accepting my inner masculine tendency. I was always a bit "forward" and I like the idea of a very direct expression. The American south "etiquette" of sexes was an early role model. Girls glow and use wiles and only talk about someone behind the others back.

    "Bless their hearts" is code for " I am way better than they who are gauche, and wrong." I never felt very beautiful though I know I am not ugly. I just felt very socially inept. My kind of being a female is more masculine and it looked weird.

    I craved to be respected as intelligent with important ideas. Apparently Teal does too, and that is not the issue. It is just berserk to think fashion and lipstick can camouflage energetic presence.

    Some women who hide their masculine traits under dresses and good hair are dangerously devious but see that as power. They who demonstrate this kind of "feminine" are paired in my stereotype with men led around by their frustrated lower nose. The women are in control indirectly because they are ruthless in applying the charm of sex as a chit.

    Teal could "come out" and just give in to being pissed off about her inability to stand for her ideal of the Divine Feminine. She could just admit "I am not even 50% feminine and that infuriates my ideal. I have breasts but I cannot just feel good sitting on the couch cuddling and noodling with babies and puppies and I must act outwardly. I prefer radio interviews and preaching to being the hearth of receptivity for others being comforted and their dreams. It is like the denial makes reception as a state even more elusive. It is convenient to be a spiritual leader of the new age and have a reason to neglect receptive passivity.

    We who have a well developed masculine as women in our makeup actually may apply this inner male energy to give us a backbone.

    The women in my world needed to to manipulate because they could not overtly ask and express assertiveness. As"girls" you can't just show your intentions directly, that would be too much like a man.

    I always saw true feminism as allowing both masculine and feminine energy to receive value. That is what I want anyway.

    This coupled with you mentioning The American south "etiquette" reminded me once again about Scarlett from "Gone with the Wind". Description of the character from sparknotes, wiki :

    The protagonist of Gone with the Wind, Scarlett is a dark-haired, green-eyed Georgia belle who struggles through the hardships of the Civil War and Reconstruction. She is vain, self-centered and somewhat spoiled; she can be insecure; and she has an intelligent, bright mind. Scarlett exhibits more of her father’s hard-headedness and shrewdness than her mother’s refined Southern manners. Although initially she tries to behave prettily, her instincts rise up against social restrictions. Determination defines Scarlett and drives her to achieve everything she desires by any means necessary. She decides what constitutes success, finds the most effective means to succeed, and does not consider concepts like honor and kindness. This determination first manifests itself in her narcissistic and sometimes backstabbing efforts to excite the admiration of every young man in the neighborhood. After the War, Scarlett's character hardens, when she is burdened by her family, servants, the Wilkes family, and the fear of homelessness and starvation. This causes her to become extremely money-conscious and materialistic.
    Scarlett possesses remarkable talent for business and leadership. As such, she engages in controversial business practices and exploits convict labor in order to make her lumber business, bought and run in defiance of her second husband's wishes, have a higher profit margin. She often professes to see no other choices than the ones she makes. After she becomes widowed again, she marries Rhett Butler (her third marriage) for "fun" and because he is wealthy. Despite her sharp intelligence, she has almost no ability to understand the motivations and feelings of herself or others. Scarlett needs to constantly be the center of attention, she literally needs constant praise, or as Rhett Butler puts it, she "needs to be kissed often." Which makes it all the more sad when characters gradually turn their backs on her and her crazy hurricane of bullshit. Though we're sympathetic with everyone who leaves her, because if we knew someone like Scarlett in real life, it would be hard after a while to pretend to give a damn.

  34. By the way, Elena, my husband and I were also quite taken with the frog. He's adorable and in many respects upstages them both.

    And, obviously, I meant Scarlett O'Hara. lol

  35. Elena,
    It is the Scarlett archetype and is contrasted with the "feminine""Melanie" and Scarlett's mother who " selflessly cares for the family and slaves".

    The straight out "heart of gold but no plantation girls" in the house of ill repute and some obvious slaves and some obvious "back drop" people who have the function of being scenery have little power of any kind.

    Margaret Mitchell's book endures IMO because it was a caricature like a comic book of how people saw themselves. My grandfather was a "Son of the Confederacy" and in 1973 when he died, he was still nostalgic for a time when the "Southern gentleman and lady" was evidence of high breeding.

    Since truth is stranger than fiction, now women all over can just go to the store (pronounced sto-ah) and buy the drapes right off the shelf. Also, because we are more empowered than our grandmother's mothers, women do not have to wear corsets as Teal also models for the youth.

    After reading LaVaughn's post, I realized that when she says Pod casts, and since only a fan can officially see the results, maybe she and Sarbs realized "Tealers" is just too many T-E-A-Ls and they have a new short hand for fanbase...Pods.

    Pods carry their message of hope and the couple does cast Pearls before the pods...i.e. podcast

    ReplyDelete
  36. So what you're saying, me2yesu, is that they don't mean podast in the normal sense of an internet broadcast that can be downloaded and enjoyed on your ipod or other devices, but as a narrowcast designed for the tealers, aka., "pod people."

    Do I have that right?

  37. "they don't mean podcast in the normal sense of an internet broadcast that can be downloaded and enjoyed on your ipod or other devices, but as a narrowcast designed for the tealers, aka., "pod people."

    Well, as you pointed out, it the usual meaning of "podcast" cannot be what they have there? I prefer making up a more interesting BIGGER story. Isn't that what we should do?

    I infer the podcast takes on unique TEAL inspired meme. As TEAL told us, she is an alien. And she has the truth (NOT) to share with humanity so she may receive a Nobel prize (may well do that?).

    Teal may be Arcturian but I think she does not speak from "Arcturian".
    Unfortunately, she is a victim of a monster.
    The monster is TERRIBLE. It is mankind's greatest enemy. It likes things like transhumanism in the name of "healthy lifestyle", slavery in the name of "good jobs, happy homes", violence and sexual degradation in the name of "adventure and romance".

    It exists through us when bitten. But ironically it presents itself tangentially so we cannot see it face to face. We decode reality through "mental screens" imposed by that archontic monster mind set.

    We take on civilization and make technology real and extensions of ourselves. We serve it believing we are served. Transhumanism is our IPhone we must have with us to follow the trends and the facebook updates. One is naked and defenceless without technology.

    Slavery is presented as freedom by the Alien. Is she not a slave now to "bad airplane flights","crowds", some unknown threat that needs her to move from her beautiful home? She is already a slave to her celebrity (in her mind).

    Poor Teal is just one of the podsters on the hierarchy herself and the bite that she DID receive is really noxious and infected and infecting OMG. The whole demands its parasitic spread which is why she is compelled to speak and mingle.

    Podsters develop some super powers if assiduous to the directives given. She has the capacity to stare into the screen of our internet unconscious and spread a desire for a moment to "be like TEAL". She may get more better at the pursuit? Alan Steinfeld says she is representative of the whole new generation of spiritual wayshowers. Hay House likes her style.

    She is sprouting and spreading the "love". Every day a few people get the "alien love bite". I did not make that phrase up. Eve Lorgan uses it and It means pretty much that once bitten, one is enthralled by this "alien" consciousness.

    The Pod is a slang derived from the idea of pretense and alien imposters. Pod people has deep reference to the meme of those who believe the anti-life pretense and substitution of truth and then carry it on and become advocates.

    Subconsciously, that MONSTER made them name their co-creation Podcasts IMO. The monster possibly whispered to me what they really meant. The clues to the devilish plot underlying the myth of TEAL Sarbs and the Frog will proliferate as I give the story my attention.

    For instance: The frog is not as innocent as it looks nor is what we think of a frog. My story is that this "Pod- ticular" story will be a tale of betrayal, redemption, mystery and will have sex in it.

  38. Oh I hope LaVaughn that my misuse of "ironically" triggered you. because it was for your own good, REALLY.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Oh, loved that show, LaVaughn, thanx! I've never seen Carol Burnett before, enjoyed her take on the Queen too :-D

    As for draping herself, at first I thought it could've been that Snaggie (WTF) blanket, the one with the sleeves:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05ZQ7WHw8Y&list=RDh05ZQ7WHw8Y

    But then I noticed hers has a belly opening- a modified version, custom tailored for spiritual leaders. ;-)

    Anyways, she is free to wear whatever as long as she is comfortable and warm, especially at home (only I remember her saying she absolutely hates functional clothing and likes to make a walking art out of herself). I think it's not that warm in their house- Sarbs needs his cardigan, and once she was giving an interview wearing a ski jacket...inside. And she still looked bluish and freezing...So as much as she likes her bare shoulders look, one thing is to suffer thru a 10 mins Ask Teal episode, quite another to sit thru these 40 mins podcasts. She tried a summer dress last time and look what happened....I can turn bitchy too when I am cold. Of course, this mismatched "artsy" look is more fitted for a "Pajama Party with Teal" (who wants to see a pillow fight, raise your hand:-), but next to Sarbs looking so bloody smart, projecting a perfect "Afternoon Tea" traditional look, it kind of ....provides a contrast in styles, without really complimenting each other. But yeah, the body language is more in sync now. And no more uncomfortable stares in the camera, she is mostly turned facing the husband, more smiles and laughter. Although, I didn't get why she started laughing so hard as if Sarbdeep was telling complete childish nonsense when he was recalling what could've been his dark night of the soul, that cynical, existential crisis period he was dealing with. Nothing funny about that, I think. People who think tend to go through this and it should be acknowledged not made fun of. Maybe he was hit by a Saturn return too. Such things should be seriously acknowledged, not brushed off as some rubbish attitude towards life. They could elaborate more on these important and hard experiences over another Tea.

  41. The WTF blanket is one of my faves. I've watched it so many times and it still makes me laugh.

    Here's a little television history for you. When Gone With the Wind made its television debut, it ran at the same time as the Carol Burnett Show on a competing network. This was before the invention of the VCR. People watched what was one of the major networks, when it aired, period. So, of course, Carol Burnett lost most of the market share that week to Gone With the Wind. The next week she thanked the 2 or 3 viewers who had stuck with her by presenting her very abbreviated version of the film so that they wouldn't feel like they'd missed anything. That roughly 20 minute sketch was the result. Hilarious.

    I never, ever, ever want to see a teal pillow fight. I'm afraid someone will die in a hail of feathers and torn fabric. I think she's a little competitive.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I feel like I have been bitterly snarky towards Teal. I am not sorry and I love and accept myself anyway (hehe). Fortunately for my shriveled heart space when I confront my ideas of belief that cretae anger, LOVE comes to the rescue. I reread Lester Levenson's autobiography "No Attachents, No Aversions". He reached the place about GIVING love that I feel LOVE reminds me today. From the book.
    " Then I went through a very keen process of trying to love others. I would review my past behavior. Where I thought I had been loving, I saw I wanted to be loved. For instance, when I saw that I had been nice to a girl only because I wanted something from her, I would say, "You son-of-a-gun, Lester. Correct that!" Then I would love her for what she was, not for what I wanted from her. I kept on correcting this until I could find no more to correct.

    The next big awareness that came to me was what intelligence is. I got a picture of a single overall intelligence that each one of us is blindly using, available to us to the degree we do not cut off. I also discovered that I am responsible for everything that happens to me. Then I discovered that every thought materializes, sooner or later. Thereafter I took responsibility for everything that was happening to me. Looking for it, the initiating thought would come up in mind, and it being conscious, I would then be able to drop it.

    I was letting go and undoing the hell I had created. By squaring all with love, trying to love rather than trying to be loved, and by taking responsibility for all that was happening to me; finding my subconscious thought and correcting it, I became freer and freer, happier and happier.

    The picture of intelligence that I received I think is interesting. I suddenly got a picture of the amusement park entertainment consisting of bump-cars that are made difficult to steer so that the drivers continually bump into each other. They were all getting their electrical energy from the wire
    screen above, through a pole coming down to every car.

    The power above was symbolic of the overall intelligence and energy of the universe coming down the pole to me and everyone else, which we were all using and bumping into each other, instead of driving along together in harmony.
    We use this intelligence in life and we just bump! bump! bump! That was the first picture I got of life and intelligence.
    We all have a direct line to that infinite intelligence up there and we are using it blindly, wrongly, and against each other.

    For the first two months I was getting answers to, "What is happiness, intelligence and love?" As the answers came, I was gradually being unburdened of my miseries and tensions. "

  43. I am writing a new screenplay. It is dedicated to those who deny love in desperate struggle to feel alive and the utter defeat on the path of solipsism.

    The scene is in a small valley just off the highway in this time.

    A woman who is a famous celebrity in the New Age is broken. She has been accused of plagirism and also her biography has been recognized as a false claim. Her 3rd husband has written his own tell all book. Her followers denounced her and she feels hatred at every turn.

    Her mind is shattered and she careens away from the city with intention for suicide. She has enough pills to do the job. Maybe she might just drive off a cliff or head on collide with another vehicle. Her mind is enraged by thoughts of betrayal.

    Her car inexplicably breaks down. in the middle of nowhere she has no cell phone reception. A beautiful old Mercedes appears with a chauffeur. He is from a nearby hotel named..."Bon Chance". She hitches a ride to a mysterious INN that sesm to rise like a mist near the sea. It is a breathtaking day and she is happy for the first time she recalls. She feels peace for no good reason.

    The people there all have an unusual aura. There are many characters there. One is a famous celebrity from the music world (Satanist). Another famous astrophysicist (Materialist), another has a fatal disease (Atheist), and they each have a story to tell.

    The sweet owners themselves have an odd sort of etherial charm that cannot be adequately described except in pictures. Strange things are going on. It is like a happy fairy tale.

    Growing fruit and vegies never seen in this climate abound.
    Tame animals who communicate take her in hand.
    Books never seen anywhere that have the real meanings of life explained.
    She loosens her hold on her life and gently forgets her traumas and self loathing.

    The heroine learns all the stories of all the guests that reveal lives of empty low self esteem and now a new lease on Life. Where the visitors are all different, they shared one intention: suicide.

    Over the course of the play, we discover that this is the Hostel where suicides recuperate from their false beliefs. They all check out leaving the ever allowing LOVE that heals through self understanding.

    This is the dramedy of the ending of souls' narcissm in the between and before and the ever after.... a miracle of the all encompassing benevolence of consciousness.

  46. Anyone heard about this lady? A similar career path, with a tribe of her own...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMyq7xvlH08

    Kiesha Crowther AKA “Little Grandmother” has garnered a lot of attention, over a thousand followers, perhaps millions in cash, and even more controversy in less than two years. Falsely claiming to be the “shaman” for the “Sioux Salish tribe,” Crowther has gathered an all white, mostly European “Tribe of Many Colors” around her with bizarre claims. Native activists and former followers have vowed to oppose her and expose her.


    From Santa Fe to Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, and soon to that most “American Indian” of places, Palm Springs, Kiesha Crowther draws crowds of hundreds with each gathering of ceremony selling, charging from several hundred to up to $6,000 a person. Crowther is a small red haired woman of 33, yet looks young enough to be a teenager. Adding to the strangeness, Crowther calls herself “Little Grandmother” (she is not one) and often talks in a little girl voice with fanciful (and largely false) stories about her childhood.

    Crowther mixes in stories of vulnerability with dire prophecies of doom and fantastic claims, none of which are true. She claims to be the “shaman” for the “Sioux Salish tribe.” She claims to be the descendant of famous Lakota and Salish leaders, with a “fullblood Indian mother” and a grandmother supposedly on the reservation. Crowther claims to be made “shaman” by an alleged Salish elder named Falling Feathers. She claims to be recognized by dozens of tribes from New Zealand to United States to the Arctic Circle to Scandinavia to Central America. She claims to have been recognized by Native tribes at as young as age eight and to be the fulfillment of a supposed prophecy about a “fair haired girl.” She even suggests in one video that she is the returned White Buffalo Calf Woman of Lakota prophecy, a claim sure to outrage the Plains Indian tribes that hold the prophecy sacred.

    Yet not a single one of these claims are true. Most are extremely obvious lies.

    Who Is The Real Kiesha Crowther?

    Another example how these people use some truth to their own advantage and invent outrageous lies to get more attention...and speak with such "conviction and sincerity"....

    ReplyDelete
  47. It seems Teal has a sister in the tribe of colors...hehe.

    I knew about the story of Little Grandmother ( LG is Keisha Crowther) from a few years ago. At first I could not believe the audacity of lying SO LARGE. I felt my own outrage as with teal and I admit I have been broody over feeling helpless in the face of LIARS.

    This kind of kick in the face of my inner desire to believe the words that I like to hear is therapeutic. I have wanted so much to believe in a world that is magic where miracles are ordinary....still do honestly. Some of what is preached I still do believe. But I think the fraud uses the grand message to lure suckers like me in.

    The insult to my gullible is actually a good thing. From 2009 I branched out in so many directions mentally. People DO have extraordinary experiences but these are fleeting. People crave recognition from being in inner pain. Then there is the energetic need when people are disconnected. I feel compasion for the needy in me.

    I like making up words and please notice the "nuag" (newage) spelling of NUAGUAL. The nuagual is a human being who has the power to magically turn him- or herself into a donkey, turkey, or dog in the stalking of false power egoic trips.

    the nuagual being who has the power to magically turn him- or herself into a donkey, turkey, or dog can only be cured by change back to human. Below is a great critique on the Nuaguals stage Magick shown by LG AND TEAL:

    from http://thegoatplan.blogspot.com/

    A stage magician is not judged on their ability to actually saw people in half and magically heal them on the spot. A stage magician is judged on their ability to draw an audience into a consensus, misdirect their attention and provide a pleasing illusion that they have sawed someone in half. This takes a level of control over human perception which approaches the truly magical in the hands of a masterful practitioner - for a spectacular example check out this guy. Similarly, you can only judge the power of a Magus like Little Grandmother when you understand their true goal. In this case it's pretty simple - money, and the prestige necessary to create more money.

    For those of you who didn't manage the whole video try it again, for those who did - pay close attention. Notice how crafted the whole thing is. She really does try to cover as many generically-New Age bases as she can, and even goes so far as to vaguely allude to some sort of Evil Big Government conspiracy to suppress True Knowledge toward the end there to try and bring in the survivalists. This is a magical ritual. She is trying to draw power from her followers to increase her stature and pull in some energy-in-the-form-of-money at the same time. The fact that her self-claimed powers are nonsense is entirely irrelevant because it's all misdirection - it's a carefully constructed mirage designed to hook into the cultural obsessions of largely white, fairly affluent, mostly-Americans, and me circa 1995.

    And while she's no Crowley, Kiesha Crowther is powerful enough for her own ends. So long as she maintains her ritual Face Of Sincerity, keeps posing with massive crystals, and refuses to shut up she'll keep on getting speaking engagements and requests to run workshops and do rituals. She wields sufficient cultural force to have at least some of her detractors shouted down and shunned (if you really want you can check out the controversy on the New Age web here, but be warned - it's a hell of a rabbit hole). She's even been smart enough to keep her mythology sufficiently white-bread to leave her a back door out if she ever decides to "renounce" it all and "convert" to a more conservative racket like fundamentalist Evangelicalism.

    Manipulation of the gap between perception and reality, resulting in a massive increase of personal power.

  48. HAHAHAHAHA... some of the stuff you dig up Elena! You remind me of my son... Ringo(hehe)... who, every time I ever told him about some oddball weird thing that happened to me that was so one in a zillion trillion that for sure no one else had ever had happen to them, 'Ringo' would come up with a Simpson's episode that gave me the feeling someone was like someone was spying on me and using events in my life in their comedy shows.

    I watched a couple of her videos. At first I wasn't going to because I didn't like the sweater she was wearing, hehehe, and I didn't care for the 'oh so caring' expression on her face, or the 'so sincere' tone to her voice, nor am I into 'warning' type messages, but I am glad I stuck it out, if only for the owl story she told in the second video I watched. I have an owl story that I LOVE remembering, and I am a big believer that 'Love is the master key that opens all doors', so I definitely got something out of that video watching experience.

    And then the (all white) Tribe of many colors, or Tribe of many dollars, article.... hahahahahaha! The comment section in there was just as lively and entertaining as the comment section has been in this 'who and what is teal scott' triology! And so VERY similar!! Like one of my son's match-for-any-occasion Simpson's episodes! Too funny!

    It's probably not appropriate, but I'm going to post my owl story here anyway, because I love it, and him, so much. If I had one of his talons I would absolutely wear it next to my heart, that's how much I love that owl.

    The Great Horned Owl & the Murder of Crows

    When I was living in the mountains, I used to walk down by the river every day, along an old, unused road that went through some woods and on up into the mountain. I loved it how, as soon as I stepped into the woods, a sentry-type crow would call out "Intruder Alert!", then a crow further down would pick up the call and send it along, like an echo moving deeper and deeper into the woods… it just always made me smile.

    But one day the only crows I heard were a bunch of mighty pissed off crows. I wondered what had them so riled, and just as I finished wondering I looked up... there, right over my head, on a low-hanging branch that spread across the lane, was the most handsome Great Horned Owl I have ever set eyes on (not that I had ever set eyes on one in person before :)): I fell in love instantly! And boy, did I try sweet talking him.

    The thing is, he was trying to have a little snooze, and was probably already a little irritated, what with those crows screaming their crow language obscenities at him overhead, and now, here was some silly human, crooning inanities at him from below.

    He lazily rolled his head out from under his wing and peered down at me, pinning me to the spot with his beyond amazing, pierce-right-through-to-your-soul eyes. I thought my heart would burst with joy!

    Then, with an irritated twitch of his feathers- and an attitude of great disdain- he spread those magnificent wings and took to the sky, although not above the tops of the trees, following the course of the river (probably looking for a quieter spot for his afternoon nap)… the crows mercilessly screeching and dive-bombing him on his way. What a photo that would have made! Maybe I’ll take a stab at painting it! How fun that would be! Thanks for the idea Elena!!!! Hahahahahaha!

  50. Wow. This handy guide to "friendship" with teal is um...

    If you haven't seen it, itemized lists of what she does and doesn't bring to the table. Her pros, um, a little grandiose. Just a little. The downside, wow, so not worth it. Things she does NOT offer include: tolerance (her bold, not mine), phone calls (she won't make them, says she), nor will she answer the phone so you can't talk to her, proximity effort (she won't come to see you), regularly expressed gratitude/appreciation, secrecy/ privacy unless- divulging will cause serious consequences... Consequences for whom, we ask ourselves fully expecting the answer to be teal.

    I loved this one "I’m especially not tolerant for people’s unwillingness to admit to their own dark side/weaknesses." Translation: She will tell you what's wrong with you and you had bloody well better accept that she's right. We know that's what it means because we've seen her do it.

    She could have saved a lot of time by just saying, all friendships will be on my terms because I know what's best for both of us, so shut up and let me fix you or get out. Yowza!

    Also worth reading just for zigzagbuddha's comment which begins:
    "Jesus Teal, that’s a LOT of baggage you bring into relationships… even the stuff you ‘can’t’ bring into relationships is baggage! It’s all a whole lotta excess baggage if you ask me, but of course, you didn’t ask me. But then I didn’t ask you either."

I'm pretty sure I have something to add to the conversation but I just don't know what it is. I'll probably figure it out before too long.

  52. Zigzag, thank you for writing your owl story, that was beautiful. Too bad there is no photo/video of that, but the way you've described it really sparked my imagination. I'm drinking a cup of herbal tea before bed and trying to picture it all.
    ...Oh, so this makes it another "Avalon's Tea story for Teal auditory", remember the original salon series we'd come up with months ago and kept referring to? This still bugs me a little...synchronicity I guess. Just like after mentioning "Gone with the Wind" ( or "Went with the Wind" hilarious parody), Teal used the wind analogy in her latest Happiness Ask teal episode. She actually said "go with the wind" three times throughout that video, i think. Funny coincidence:-)
    Enjoy painting it:-)

    PS. She should've called her "podcasts" "Ascension Hot Cacao with the Swans" since she posted the recipe for that drink, hehe. I've only tried it once....but got addicted to this spicy tea of yours!

    LaVaughn, looking forward:-) Yep, that frog is such a Zen master, lol

  53. In the podcast, they talked about intentional community and "intentional family" and I would also like that way of life. Of all the Teal conversations, this one bothered me very little. I think I am softening somewhat because today, nothing bothered me at all about Teal.

    They seemed just more talking heads with no charge. I see they agree on how important Teal's youth and beauty figure into her value. That is kind of testimony to the pressure for her to get her message out before she is old. "when men go for youth and beauty it makes us have to compete (for attention)".

    Why? Well, for one thing all of this is about a superficial collective mass of thought forms bought and then sold downline.

    Weirdly, I think I am now off on a whole new reality in the last several days. I really do feel magical as if I can even shapeshift and that this new earth is welling up around me freed up of my old attachments.

    That owl story was very visual and I could hear the crows and see how the owl was not impressed by his detractors OR admirers. Very cool are owls. I have several kinds in my neighborhood.

  54. There once was a lady from sirius
    Who took on an earth life as furious.
    She was thrown into the hive
    So just had to survive
    By "collective" recourse quite spurious

    Her early years passed in a flash
    She stored trinkets up in her stash
    Trinkets of mind, fame and fortune designed
    To consume us in exchange of cash.

    Forgetting how we might contrive
    to observe some way different than hive
    The ideas she scorned
    just had to be borned
    to unravel, discount, decry

    The universe grows through its selves
    Could be dragons or fairies or elves
    But humans so mental
    can't meet elementals
    Until the hive mind is properly shelved

    Aliens have nothing that beats
    simple humans alone on the streets
    The streets of 4D
    that humans can see
    While seeing the real that mind treats

    Mark this, humans are more
    than all of their clothes from the store
    DNA unwinds proteins
    We Humans have soul strains
    here to show new realms and shores

    More is expansion in spirals
    it grows on its own in desirals
    It is what is unknown
    where life seeds are then sown
    we have only to get over "requirals"

    The truth cannot come from a hive
    that holds itself static to thrive
    The lone bee must fly
    maybe free she might die
    But she'll carry the message to strive.

    I may NOT be an individual who's separate
    But illusion is meant for its illustrate
    To have Point Of Views
    that is different than you's
    beyond limits where copied is credited

    "Same" was the problem with hive
    we tried on an identical vibe
    I'll pretend to be you
    while pretending "not true"
    It was stasis and "motionless" drive

And as I was sitting there thinking of what I wanted to say I heard it in my head in limerick-y rhyme so I sat there and wrote her a limerick! You are a spiritual catalyst! Hahahaha... thanks for being that for me!

  57. TEAL seems to have a stalker. His name is Zeeshan. He's her "Twin Flame" AND her "Twin mate." They're the "Greatest Couple on Cosmos." He'd like her to email him. Please!

  58. Yeah, that guy's comment posted right under mine and got a huge eyeroll when I read it I might add.

    It's like she wrote a personal ad that read: "Are you the one I'm looking for? Please post your resumes here." Except it was written in secret code and invisible ink in between the words that formed this sentence: "I will be interested to see your lists". Yeah, I bet you will Teal. Notice she said 'see' them, not 'read' them, hahahaha.

  62. Noncast: Femininity pt. 1

    This week's noncast on teal's most recent narrowcast for tea-sipping pod people is a little charged for me. The issue of "the feminine" is one that is near and dear to my heart as a long-time devotee of the Goddess and unalloyed feminist. I have laid out many of my own views on that topic here: http://celestial-reflections.blogspot.com/2011/07/giving-tree-is-sap.html

    It's also taken me a bit of time to get to this as I've been crazy busy. As stated, I'm a mommy. One without live-in exes/help.

    I found myself agreeing with teal more than usual and wanting to give Sarbs a good smack at one point, so that was also something of a turnabout. She made some good points about the challenges for women and mothers, some of the very things I've been on about for years.

    She still very annoyingly keeps talking about feminine and masculine as if they're only issues for women and men respectively and not nearly enough about feminine/masculine as they play out within all of us of either sex, let alone hermaphrodites, which are not discussed at all.

    She also keeps conflating the divine masculine and feminine with masculine and feminine more generally and even with what some call the profane masculine and feminine. So, as ever it's a bit of a muddle.

    There were also some real HOWLERS.

    But let's start with body language. My husband points out that in addition to Sarbdeep protecting his groin area a great deal, he was repeatedly indicating a jiu-jitsu technique. Here, I'll let him explain:

    Jason: Sarbdeep held his wrist with his other hand in a configuration known in Brazilian jiu-jitsu as the "frame." Done properly, this technique neutralizes a headlock. He even performed it with strict technique because his grabbing hand employed a "monkey grip" (the thumb not opposing the fingers), so as to prevent injuring his own digits. So he seemed to me a man ready and primed for a fight, just in case teal, or maybe Blake should get 'round behind him and put a lock on him.

    Here's how this reads to us. Increasingly, through these "podcasts" Sarbdeep appears to be "handling" her -- something for which his background leaves him well prepared. His feedback is smoothy, graciously deflective. He affirms without necessarily agreeing, and even suggests a kind of tacit agreement when he doesn't really appear to agree with or even understand some of what she says. It's a lot of nodding, "Yeah... yeah... yeah...That's interesting... yeah... yeah..." His affirmatives read more like, and I'm paraphrasing the yeahs, "I hear you. I hear you. What I hear you saying is..." Then he acknowledges what she's said very selectively to avoid conflict and find the odd bits of common ground.

    Jason is looking at the bodyguard, former bouncer Sarbdeep from his own warrior, martial artist perspective. What I see when I look at Sarbdeep is the repurposed codependency that works so well when one has to deal with the outsized egos of celebrities. Having been a publicist for many years, I know this formula all too well. At some point some of us in that field look around and realize how many of our colleagues are children of alcoholics. We are generally referred to as former publicists.

  63. Noncast: Femininity pt. 2

    Next topic: TEAL on religion. This is an unmitigated disaster. To say that she is not a theologian would be a gross understatement. She blames the advent of patriarchal religion for the suppression of the feminine without apparently considering that she may have this at least partially backwards. It's all because of Christianity with its one god which overtook the "original" religions which acknowledge masculine/feminine duality, says she. As she describes it, the world was moving merrily along with it's male/female dyads, respecting the feminine as the creative principle and then Christianity clobbered everyone with it's male-centric world view. Wow does that ever leave out a lot of religious and cultural history. She also somehow extrapolates this into a shift in the entire universe and I... um... uh... What?

    At around the 7:30 mark, Sarbdeep makes the astute observation that underlying the hostility towards women is something that looks a lot like fear. This is such a complex issue and one I've contemplated myself a great deal.

    My husband points out that when he raises the question -- "Why do you think that is?" -- teal responds, "Why do you think?" Translation: I have no idea so I will now deflect your very challenging question by lobbing it right back atcha.

    Sarbdeep was really on a roll here. He considers that it may have to do with the incredible power of the feminine, the power of creation itself, a "godly" power... Oh, hell's yeah! Preach it, Sarbs!

    Teal naturally reduces it to dating. Men are threatened by women because they feel powerless over their attraction to them. At this point, Sarbdeep goes back to his vaguely -- probably unconsciously -- patronizing nodding thing. (Right... right... right...)

    I don't disagree with this attraction/resentment as a real phenomenon and a component of a larger issue. I just think there's a lot more to it. But maybe it's a discussion that would take... too... um... long...

    Once again, Sarbdeep's knowledge and insight dwarfs teal's which makes his careful, walking-on-eggshells deference a little disturbing.

    She makes one nonsensical statement after another.

    At around the 12:00 mark, "We all have masculine and feminine within us. [check] Even though we choose to express one aspect in our life. [HUH????]"

    From this whole cluster of verbiage about her own masculine, success drive, and so forth, the most I can deduce is that she seems to think that the soul is masculine and feminine but expresses as one or the other sex in an incarnation. (???) Her soul (???) must have a lot of masculine which is making her life hard because she wants to accomplish things. Women seem challenged in general because if they embody the divine feminine, whence their goal potential? They're too busing being receptive... or something... I'd have to listen to it about ten more times to wrap my head around what she's saying here. Why bother?

  64. Noncast: Femininity pt. 3

    At around 14:00, teal says divine feminine and divine masculine are at an impasse. This strikes me as absurd. Again, she repeatedly conflates divine feminine and masculine with generic and profane masculine and feminine, as well as with men and women. Masculine and feminine as they express here in 3d earth are definitely in a power struggle. But the divine principles? Really? Doesn't that undercut the entire idea and pursuit of manifesting the divine if they're in constant conflict, too?

    I'm not saying this is an easy subject. None of these are clearly defined or codified ideas. It's all conceptual and subject to a lot of interpretation and variation. It's impossible to have this discussion without flexibility and nuance, neither of which teal does well.

    At about the 15:00 minute mark, Sarbdeep raises an excellent question. How is it that in places like India people can, on one hand revere goddess archetypes and at the same time kill baby girls? Let alone, and he doesn't mention it, practice Sati, which is where widows are burned with their dead husbands. Those who aren't put to death live as beggars, even child bride/widows, because many marriages are still arranged. Widows are among the untouchables. So, yeah, Sarbdeep, how is it that Hindu people could revere goddesses and treat women like shit? Good question and, again, one I've long pondered.

    Says teal, "I don't think culture reflects religion ever." (?!?!?!?!?!...)

    I told you there would be howlers.

    But strap in because it gets even better/worse.

    "Verse 1 of the Bible, thou shalt not kill. Now what are Christians doing? How many of those soldiers that are over in, you know, the Middle East right now from America are shooting people..."

    So.... yeah... not a theologian. That is, of course, not verse one of the Bible, which actually starts thusly: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." ~ Genesis 1:1

    What she's referring to would be the sixth of the ten commandments, which do not appear at the very beginning of the Bible but in two locations, Exodus and Deuteronomy, with slight variations. I've written them up here. http://celestial-reflections.blogspot.com/2010/05/sarah-palin-on-ten-commandments.html

    More accurate translations from the Hebrew read "Thou shalt not murder." Not only would a general no killing commandment make life impossible by negating things like eating -- and, yes, vegetarians kill plants, so lets be honest -- it very definitely does not refer to killing during war time with which the Bible is unbelievably rife.

    In the original Hebrew, the word is retzach which is basically murder, or even manslaughter, but not war.

    "According to the Priestly Code of the Book of Numbers, killing anyone outside the context of war with a weapon, or in unarmed combat, is considered retzach,[2] even if the killing is accidental.[3] The Bible never uses the word retzach in conjunction with war.[4][5]"

    She goes on to say that our cultural belief is that women are owned as if that's not a religious belief. She might want to take another look at those ten commandments, in particular the tenth.

    At around minute 19:00, Sarbs completely ticks me off with the idea that if a woman has to raise infants and that's a priority for her, she shouldn't be in a high profile, highly demanding role such a member of Parliament. As teal quite rightly points out here, this is not a choice men are EVER expected to make. They never have to "choose" between parenting and career. Don't get me started! This isn't just a commentary on our views towards women but our views towards children. Neither is as important as making sure the patriarchy runs smoothy.

    At minute 21:00 teal makes the outrageous claim that daycare equals attachment disorders. "They've proven now that it completely destroys their sense of attachment."

    Who is they? Not the many researchers who have looked at this issue. This question is far from settled but even by the most negative research results, she's overstating the problem dramatically. The results are more along the lines of, if babies are put into full-time daycare too soon, as in before 6 mths of age, and/or daycare is poorly staffed with too few employees for the number of children, attachment disorders may result. Also if daycare is just generally terrible with uncaring workers who don't give the children enough attention, that's a problem. Better daycares address the issue by assigning specific caregivers to children.

    Her far better argument follows which is that the cost of daycare often eats the woman's salary and sometimes exceeds it.

    Daycare is absolutely not a solution for low wage earners who can't afford decent, safe daycare. It's not even a solution for moderate income families for whom good daycare costs often exceed one parents' income. Good daycare is really only a viable solution for affluent parents, which excludes most of the single mothers who need it most. To say it's a conundrum doesn't BEGIN to cover it.

    So hiring transients (homeless people??) or whatever she's on about is really not the issue. Equality, valuing women and children is. She's in and around it. So, basically I agree with her on a lot of it.

    You're right zigzagbuddha on the whole beav shot issue. As I said to my husband, at one point, if she were cheating to the camera a little more there would have definitely been at least one Sharon Stone moment. And the hair... After about 20 minutes my husband was just screaming at the laptop, STOP FLIPPING YOUR HAIR AROUND! CUT IT OUT! It really was a bit much. I can see that she lovely hair and it's a great cut, but enough already. And it's another manipulation. Women touching their hair is a usually subconscious behavior indicating attraction. She puts out all kinds of attraction signals in her videos. My husband is convinced that her pupils look dilated. He thinks it's a lighting thing. I'm not ruling out bella donna. She flirts with the camera and by extension the viewer.

    You're also right, me2yesu, that there are lots of reveals about how invested she is in her youth and beauty as the source of her power. You'd think she'd be a little more proactive about rejecting cultural norms that will ultimately chew her up and spit her out for the same reason. Many a beautiful woman has discovered that at a certain point in life her jokes seemed less funny, her conversation less scintillating, as fewer and fewer men can be found hanging on her every word. In her case, there will undoubtedly come a day when her enthralled followers notice that she doesn't make a lick of sense much of the time.

  67. LaVaughn, you and Jason did an excellent deeper peek into the Sarbs/Teal NONcast dynamics. Absolutely right about the absurd positioning that Divine Genders are at an impasse (except they ARE when you reduce the Universe to what Teal and Sarbs [or I or anyone] is experiencing.)

    I am so on the page of the profane impasses that is effecting the children. Giving children a new earth to experience is what I think about a lot.

    It is really poignant to look at Teal today on her blog about her anthropomorphic car issues. She cannot believe she is abandoning the car THEN abandon the car without guilt. So why does she just not ditch her belief that the car is abandoned. Something like THAT shows how we set out the belief then trip over it. Or maybe she is just making up something to blog that sounds "cute"?

    Hilarious!!

    I would never have noticed the martial art gesture info. Thanks for taking the time!

  71. Greetings from Hawaiiiii. Yes Elena, I already got my cheque in the post in visited my colleague over there. He is cute :D and I already knew his video as we worked together on the Teal case. he he


    I don't know - this whole podcast thing 1. to integrate Sarbs into the growing Teal empire(possibly to satisfy Teal's desire to be in the public eye - at least he has some control in this case) , 2. to get more people to give them their email addresses and 3. to have a weekly show to increase the addiction of the already panting hardcore Tealer towards sundays and to get a radio show at some time in future (PODcast) 4. to have set up a weekly chance to correct the perception and reaction of the public towards a certain Miss Teal (projected into the future of a biiig career) to delete the need of heavy use of open letters to the public…. is like a empty talk of a man in a woman body and a woman in a man body. I am still confused. It seems like that S has more female characteristic than Teal the man. I am always looking forward to check out the next chic clothing of Sarbdeep. I appreciated that I didn't get flashed this time by Teal (neeeeaaarrrrly ha). I also enjoyed not to be a part of a huge fight.

    Mr Sarbdeep looks like he is walking on egg shells around Teal. I guess he met the other ten Teals now few times. :D I still stick to my first comment - they both look hot together.


    LV: enjoyed your analyses but without realizing it: with each new episode Teal appears more and more clue less - very much against the branding of her well earning youtube series where she is talking to us from the godlike heavens. But as we all know: she loves the mysterious black hole of a camera and can't help it but melt :D. So a great addition to the AskTealBlackHole. At the end of the day it is really a fashion show with two people talking about their own experiences being a man and a wo man and they haven't figured it out. I am more and more convinced that Teal received a very early teaching by "somebody", I wouldn't exclude speed reading abilities and I do believe that she has a high IQ. You need that in order to untouchable like a slimy eel. You never really can grab them isn't it ha.

    Her blog about the missing airplane was ridiculous. Even more ridiculous the excited followers who LOVE their Teal-ee who does not want to use her so highly celebrated skills to save few hundred people or to solve the mystery of their death. Well because "she is a spiritual teacher" at the end of the day. And we all know that her career would be over by guessing the wrong way.

    Her post about her traumatic experience of giving up her top car is childish. Her glorious mountain experience is again a wonderful tail to vaccinate the brains of all followers with some teal juice " Now my child, oh now go out and teach the world". The mountain said it - so it must be true, mountains don't lie. Teal IS A TEACHER. All mental problems snowed away

    LV As far as I remember france - provence was on her top list. A follower congratulated her on California - so not sure - maybe they changed their minds again. It never get's boring isn't it. maybe her husband refused to let the child go to europe or they all move together into a fat villa in the provence (provence is my favorite place on earth - great choice if they will live there)

    I also noticed the recent post of a picture showing some posters attached to a bridge as a proof that her "Somessedup" frequency painting campaign at least managed to print out 6x A2 posters somewhere in the world (print cost around 250 dollars). I wouldn't be surprised if people payed for this with their own money and hang them up their as well and just end a pic to Teal & Blake. Did you guys EVER hear any update what happened to the 8000 raised dollars for this campaign? I guess it allowed a wedding on the beach....

  72. ...Now the other article about what you (don't) get by dating, befriending or dealing with Teal is another mindfuck at its best. Put it all out there Teal so that people don;t get shocked anymore when they finally meet you in persona. Great strategy.

    Sarb-ee all the best - stay strong and I am still convinced that you are a british spy set up for Teal - there is something about you which never relaxes - always working. Blak-ee all the best. The pain of a second hand boyfriend can be greatly reduced by moving on and finding the real woman of your dreams. But this is unlikely. Teal has her claws all around you :D but I do like you a lot.

    TEAL IS A GREAT STORYTELLER.
    Which is a talent in itself I applause.
    We all love a good old simple structured hollywood story.
    A bit of Pretty Woman, A bit of Saw , The Silence of the lambs and now I can see a bit of "Bloodsport" and I also see some potential Bond 007 story turning up.

    But I wish them a good life.
    They do help people with their productions.

  73. Quoting LaVaughn quoting Teal, hehehe: "Verse 1 of the Bible, thou shalt not kill. Now what are Christians doing? How many of those soldiers that are over in, you know, the Middle East right now from America are shooting people..."

    So.... yeah... not a theologian. That is, of course, not verse one of the Bible, which actually starts thusly: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." ~ Genesis 1:1"

    Hahaha, yeah, I noticed that. I’ve never read the bible but even I know that its opening line is something like ‘in the beginning’ and that ‘thou shalt not kill’ is one of the commandments, hehe. There are certain aspects of the teal show that remind me of ‘here comes honey boo boo’, which I have no desire to watch, but my (grown) kids do (we all live together, including my 2 sisters and one niece, so I’ve had the pleasure of overhearing some distasteful tidbit or another).
    I think Teal has resistance to ‘trailer trash’ (her words), like she doesn’t want people to think that’s what she is, thus the exaggerated ‘I’m so elegant and refined’ act. I watched my mother do the same thing when she was just a ‘poor farmer’s daughter’ hanging out with some of San Francisco’s ‘high society’.

    And that bit on Sarbdeep’s body language was a very interesting, informative and entertaining read... “So he seemed to me a man ready and primed for a fight, just in case teal, or maybe Blake should get 'round behind him and put a lock on him.” Hahahahahahaha!

    LaVaughn also said: “As teal quite rightly points out here, this is not a choice men are EVER expected to make. They never have to "choose" between parenting and career.”

    But I put forth that if men had large sexually attractive breasts that they exposed while feeding their young they would have to make those choices! Hahahaha... it just has the potential to be so outrageously distracting. Particularly undesirable when ‘serious’ cut throat business is being engaged in, unless you are practicing 'the dark arts' or something where it is to your advantage to have the opponent distracted!

    But not that it would be a bad thing for a society to provide a safe, sane, healthy and creatively inspiring environment for its children and its future!

    I’ve always been a big fan of communal living. My sister was happily living in Hawaii until she had a baby, and then she packed up and came back here so her child would be around family and she would have the freedom to obtain her livelihood without sacrificing the good health of her child... or her entire paycheck to daycare providers.

    I couldn’t watch that whole video. But still, I just left another comment on it, hehehe. Some guy had commented that they were such a good couple and I was compelled to point out that alas, they weren’t ‘The Greatest Couple on Cosmos’… that it was ‘zeeshan’ (that was the guy’s name wasn’t it??) and teal who had that title. And now that’s two red flags waving around that character… what an alert sentry you are to have spotted him!

  75. ...and I just remembered another good reason for SS suggesting the weekly stream about (wo)man. He did not want to do the same mistake as the ex-husband who gently throw Teal her own Teaching in the face by saying that the women attracted bad behaved men in into their lives. I remember her writing a long blog about it and how she nearly killed her ex husband. Sarbdeep did good research (I know you are James Bond). The conflict with her mother about her own perspective on feminism and herself struggling with many sides of the female life is close to her heart.

    Anyhow - check out my new profile background. I was trying to teach you guys something ha :D without showing my ass long hair and my wispering voice. ( ;

  77. "But I put forth that if men had large sexually attractive breasts that they exposed while feeding their young they would have to make those choices! Hahahaha... it just has the potential to be so outrageously distracting."

    I expect if men started sprouting huge, pendulus breasts, it would be distracting for a host of reasons, but not for the reasons they keep complaining about nursing mothers. I expect it would be more the freakishishness of it. But see, I'm sick to death of people blaming women's bodies for their own inability to stay focused on matters of the day. I can't decide whom it insults more: the women whose only fault was being born female, or men, as if they're all stupid, mindless creatures completely at the mercy of their impulses. Can we please, as a culture, stop treating grown men like a bunch of barely pubescent children who have to be constantly protected from themselves?

    Anyway, I don't think it's the sex appeal of those breasts being used as nature intended that bothers some people, because it's not terribly sexy except to people with lactation fetishes. I think what drives these whining, petulant man-children crazy is the forceful reminder that a woman's breasts exist for something other than their entertainment. We live in a culture so phallocentric that people have convinced themselves that even lesbian sex is really for the benefit and entertainment of men. Women's bodies are still being reduced to commodities, deriving their value entirely from their relation to male need. When a woman whips out her breasts to feed her baby she's saying in effect, to all those men, This is NOT ABOUT YOU!

    ReplyDelete
  78. The last comment was really well thought out IMO. We have "phallocentric" and what is the polar extreme in"vagocentric"?

    That Louis CK video mentioned that women had been very Bad to lead to the patriarchal rebellion. Drunvelo has said that in the shift before there was a serious something dysfunctional with the misses and menions of the matriarchy.

    That rebellion against women castrating the poor male so only good specimens could procreate has been suggested from the mists of time. Maybe not true? But being castrated and emasculation are supposedly deep fears. Even men do that to one another in their alpha dreams of domination.

    Fear and loathing of what is "out there" and self hate without inner reflection of what is true revolves. I am so tired of all this and wish with all my heart I could enjoy

    1.Having telepathy where it would not be possible to NOT know the other's true motivations and laugh at them in their face at crass manipulation.
    2. The Universal reverence for creation over reproduction would mean only real works of art and happy parents with kids.
    3. The loosening up of all the concretized blocks of memory would keep me from repeating the past.
    4. A million zillion units of exchange would enable me to build a scale model of a perfect world...hehe.
    5. I would be happy with 5000 today as a prop shoring up my flimsy house of cards in the patriarchal commercialized technosphere.

  79. Re: Drunvalo, I remember something in one of his more recent interviews or broadcasts or something about things always going way out of balance before shifts and that it's happened with matriarchal power in the past just as it's happening with patriarchal power now. That went into the ??? column for me. Who knows.

    All I know is that most of our recorded history has been characterized by masculine aggression and suppression of the feminine. And I put it that way because I mean the principles as much male and female bodies. The feminine is aggressively crushed in males and it's to everybody's detriment -- men, women, children, pets, nature... And masculinity is actually reinforced in women which is why women have to act "like men" in business to be taken seriously.

  80. Of course it is recorded history because I think I recall how the pagans (the keepers of the previous Matrilineal wisdom knowledge) were exterminated pretty thoroughly.

    Yes, at this time there is a terrible penis power in play. Play to the Penis and get the stick if not in the rules well suited. The real messy profane feminine (bloody women OMG) is just not tolerable to the 99% in the hierarchical power chain.

    Girls are OK and all ya know in enlightened west. Just don't get too old or pushy OR want to reach the top of the food chain. That last is what is a brass ring anyway.

    The goal is the one I seek which people call YCYOR and is independent of trends, social mores and is not paying my mortgage (WTF?).

    But so far so good as right in this moment I am having fun writing because I LOVE you LV and your blogs and comment thread. Really I do.

    I feel quite happy about my intentions really too. Health, luxurious abundant wealth and looking quite good to myself. It does not matter who cares otherwise about me even God (as I used to understand her). I am God (as I currently understand her). I may change my mind but feel grounded in "this is working for a moment"...(no enemies and some chocolate)

    That IMO is what people who read Teal are seeking.... loving being alive as one is in unconditional WOW. We Oscillate (a) World.

    They may not get THAT and get Teal instead.

  81. This looks like a legal decision teal could really get behind as judge decides that prison would not benefit this very, very wealthy child molester.

  82. "This looks like a legal decision teal could really get behind as judge decides that prison would not benefit this very, very wealthy child molester."

    stomach turning. The whole LOA fails in my eyes in regards to stuff like child abusers etc, Teal is obviously still in a very twisted love relationship with the sicko for being so overprotective over him. I just can't follow why she wouldn't try to limit him. I guess according to LAO it is the next child's responsibility to have attracted him. I cannot agree with it as the potential future victim is also part of my reality and by this understanding my responsibility as well. Why would Teal not try to limit a guy who hurt her so much (and her family) - because prison is no solution? Well you need to lock him somewhere because if this is true what she was telling us thousand of times...there is no rehabilitation in this life of a sociopath and more.

  83. Oh yeah, and his children had CHOSEN to be projected into such circumstances, to be born to this man, to be abused this way before projecting into this world- this all serves the Universe's expansion! Oh, and if you look at it from some higher perspective, you will find beauty in this! Everything is soo fucking beautiful, this man is a pure extension of the Source energy and his desires help evolution of the consciousness, you know, every desire is valid, we are entitled to whatever it is we want, we are here to experience whatever makes us happy. That was this man's love language. Everything is love. We need to be abused to learn how to forgive and love unconditionally. Such things are a part of some divine plan.
    Here's the latest Teal's quote, after all:

    "EVERYTHING YOU WANT is already YOURS.
    It belongs to you whether you realize it yet, or have manifested it yet.
    There is inherent ownership of everything you have ever desired, do desire or will ever desire.
    The trick to manifest what you want is to recognize that inherent ownership.
    The trick is to recognize that you do not deserve something, you "inown" it.

    This man certainly is a fine example to "I INOWN whatever I want" belief.

    ReplyDelete
  84. man, this "inown" stuff of Teal is just another try to place a superlative into this world. I can already hear her in an interview later on: "well I actually created this word. It was all me,me, me meeeeeee." By trying to adjust the language...you probably have a god complex or so. And independent of this, "known" to a foreigner doesn't make sense at all.

    Elena I am with you on that one.

    ReplyDelete
  85. ..and even autocorrect is totally confused. I meant "inown" not "known"

    ReplyDelete
  86. :-)), GA
    Yeah, you really need an IQ of a genius to come up with such a word!
    It is confusing...not just for us foreigners, or for auto correct...I'm pretty sure it doesn't make sense to lots of English speakers too, maybe to LaVaughn as well, despite English being her native language and her degrees and after working in publishing...;-)No? You gotta watch the last "Ask Teal" episode to shed light on this INOWN gem. It's bound to end up in Oxford dictionary soon, after all, according to them, word "selfie" has been announced THE WORD OF THE YEAR in 2013! Even Oxford is loosing its class these days...

  87. I love a good neologism as much as the next English major, but that one's terrible. For one thing the prefix "in" has two commonly held meanings in the English language: 1) inner, toward, within, etc. 2) not. The second is the most common as in: inalienable, indecent, inactive... You get the idea. "Inowned" would read to most English speaking people as "not owned," the opposite of her intended meaning. It only makes sense if you read her entire explanation, which kind of defeats the purpose of coining a neologism.

    It also underscores the worst elements of new age thinking -- the relentless emphasis on the pecuniary, the consumerism. Yuck. Why do we need to own everything? How is this constructive? How does it help us build a better society? This idea that we can possess everything -- nature, resources, ideas, people -- is how we got into the mess we're currently in. it's archaic and it's archontic. We should be building relationships with the natural world, stewarding it, not trying to "own" everything.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I too like playing in making up words. The trick is spelling what you mean. Lately several sources i noticed have talked about the way that what we say and write is creative of what we then experience. the "IN" (not) in Teal's spell may be unconscious but if a person cannot deconstruct and blindly "speaks", what you say is still possibly what you get?

    Here is something someone and may make sense only to English native speakers in US?

  89. What I find more interesting is what the derivation of a lot of these words says about our cultural heritage and history. A lot of those words she breaks down seem to me a reminder that this is a prison planet, as did Sarbdeep's reminder about the derivation of the word mortgage. Again, Sapir Whorf hypothesis: language and culture are symbiotic. I'm not sure if the unknown etymology of a word really shapes one's thinking, though. Language and meaning evolve and I'm more inclined toward descriptive linguistics than prescriptive, which is to say, I acknowledge the changes in meaning, but up to a point. I also think that degradation of language and culture go hand in hand and there are good reasons to enforce language rules.

    I just don't know if using words with their currently agreed upon meanings has any subconscious effect based on forgotten history. I'm open to the idea but I'd need more evidence. As an etymology buff, though, I feel the need to constantly clean up my language when I discover it's toxic. As I said the other day, I really didn't grasp the meaning of the word gypped until I saw it typed out in one of teal's posts. I'd just never seen it spelled properly before. It's oft written as jipped. I just didn't know. Never grokked it. I was horrified. I won't use the word anymore. No more than I would use a phrase like "Jew him down" when I mean negotiate. It's offensive and antisemitic. Won't do it.

  90. I love these thoughtful posts.
    If this is a prison planet, then teachings like Teal's help the inmates to feel better about their condition, to accept and make the most out of it here, they teach how to enjoy this inferno while it lasts and get the illusory material happiness while still being a slave to this game (you just sort of learn some rules) rather than escaping it altogether and becoming truly free?

    Do you think we should just focus on our own individual "salvation", exiting the cycle somehow, or is there a chance for the whole planet to break free some day? "Golden Age", is it possible here?

  94. I was cleaning my desk today and came across a notice which I wrote during one of Teal's intra-views and was delighted because sometimes ...Teal has some truly great moments and I can relate. The note states:

    "True forgiveness is to find approval for something that had happened. I enjoyed it for these reasons...I look back at the value of it because of this...It is not a passive letting go, it is an embrassing of something which has occurred."

    When I was reading it again, I was feeling the same aha-delight-emotion as when I was listening to the interview.

    Now using this in my personal emotional roller coaster ride with Teal, I can find many ...like MANYgood things which came out of my inter- and intraaction with Teal. I absolutly LOVE her thoughts in this regard. It is one very precious and valuable thought tool I received from her... and I am very greatful for that.

    It does work like the magical Hypersthene. Who ever was holding a Hypersthene in his or her hands will know the shapeshifting of this mineral in interaction with light. Dark in nature, its properties are activated by light.

  95. did Teal not talk about tsunamis recently
    "An earthquake of 8.0 magnitude has struck off Chile's coast near Iquique, triggering a tsunami warning for all of Latin America's Pacific coast, the US Geological Survey says http://bbc.in/1dLAqZW

    It said the quake was very shallow, only 10km below the seabed, which would have made it feel stronger."

    ReplyDelete
  96. An 8.2, huh. Well, maybe that explains why I've been dizzy for days. I hope that's it and a) there isn't more to come and b) the dizziness will pass. And I hope and pray that this threat will pass without major damage or loss of life.

    I've been really worried about quakes with all these substantial ones in Cali over the past weeks. Dear God, I hope this is it.

    Oh, shit. I'm looking a the news. A 6.9 tsunami wave hit Iquique. Praying, praying for these people.

    So far, still dizzy.

  99. So, I just woke up maybe half an hour ago. I was watching Portlandia with the fam and passed out. So I was a little out of it when I read your post, GA.

    It occurs to me that I don't feel like taking shit from people for making ex post facto claims and many people who dislike me strongly for these teal posts read these threads. So I'm going to take the very unusual step of backing up my assertion. So if anyone doubts that I've been dizzy for days and worried over earth changes, for whatever it's worth, I'm posting screenshots of my side of a conversation I had with a colleague/friend this morning. I have uploaded them to the public folder on my photobucket acct.

  101. I can't believe they're letting Zeeshan comment through. If I were them I'd have him on moderation and be tracking his IP and whatever other data they have access to.

    I was going to try again this evening to write a post on all this but I've been too knocked out to write much of anything. I haven't heard earth change warnings, per se, and I take teal's with a grain of salt, but April is supposed to be a nightmare. Astrologers are saying it's gonna be one for the books. We have a grand cross on 4/20 I think and eclipses. I'm not kidding when I say that part of the reason I haven't been writing this is I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. I'm trying to play ostrich and spirit isn't really letting me. But I haven't been doing the kind of assessment I would normally do. It just feels too disruptive and I don't really feel up to it. I've got enough on my plate, thank you very much.

  102. I am not an alarmist kind of person but have felt worried this last week. I was born in San Gabriel and always have had a resonance with Sou Cal. When the northridge quake happened, I was ill two days before.

    the last few days I have been feeling tension and queasy. It is my concern that the west coast could really have a large quake so focus on POPs releasing.

    I keep hecking for earthquakes and noticed yellowstone too. IMO some of us, Me2 are involved in satbilizing the earth crust. It isn't fancy but a job of confidence in the benevolence to steady. But the earth has to move and we stopped being nomadic which is a real devolution IMO.

  104. I feel totally queer posting these screenshots but I realized after that comment what I had just opened myself up to. So, here's two more from my conversation this morning. Not the only discussion I've had on this, just the only one that's in printable form. Ask my husband if I'm a nightmare to live with right now. I'm sure he'd give an earful.

I was totally psyched that I managed to get nearly 5 straight hours last night. I really felt like I'd accomplished something.

  106. smaller earthquakes to release pressure. Tension release that is not allowed to build. I don't want to sound like Teal but....

    (hehe) I am here to prevent the major catyclysms predicted in the past by acknowledging Gaia's needs and being like Doula( help the mother through the birth).

    I would never say that except in anonymity...it sounds preposterous to call oneself a Doula for Gaia's birthing. You know how we do things and then we say Nahhh...that was not me doing that but it really WAS? It isn't really doing, just being with her.

  107. Doesn't sound crazy to me, me2yesu.

    Whatever this is, though, it feels inevitable, like maybe the worst loss and injury could be mitigated but something huge is happening. I've been calling it the "major global realignment." Well, not me, so much as my guides. That's what I've been getting for months. Major global realignment. Sounds scary right? See why I don't want to know what all that might entail.?

  109. It is hopeful, but that doesn't mean comfortable. As I said -- what a couple weeks ago was it? -- something about the gates opening. That was all they'd let me post publicly. I don't know why. I just do as I'm told. But that's what I saw. Everything is opening up. Which is awesome... I think... but there's always fallout. I learned a long time ago that expansion hurts.

  111. I am crying abit at what your guides have told you. Right now still I do feel such huge tension and it is scary. I have not wanted to admit how afraid I am because it feels HUGE. All I can do is just feel into the earth with my devotion.

    I am not a prepper and do not expect the worst. I am not afraid for me but slow gentle change is what I prefer.

    Sometimes I have indulged in a feeling of real raging frustration that people are so set in stone about "we INSIST we gotta live here and do THIS". I just wish we were all in tents and keeping our ears close to the ground and watching for signs as to when to get out of the way.

    The crustal movement cannot be stopped altogether but ameliorated by our loving attention. That's what I believe.

  112. Oh, look at that. So it did. Me an the 11's. Yes. It does mean something. As do repeated number clusters like 333. The 11:11 thing is special. I've posted some things on it. Let me search and I'll see what I've posted to my blog on the phenomenon.

And last night I watched the end of Harry Potter Deathly Hallows. I've read it. I've seen it more than once. But I was just destroyed. I'm really very emotional lately.

    If you didn't catch it in the other post, the seminal book is 11:11 by Solara and it can be found here. It appears to be out of print but there look to be some reasonable used copies. I loved this book although it's hard to articulate exactly why.

    This page seems to be posting relevant updates on the Chile quake.

Great play of very different reality perceptions of VERY different types of human kind.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I just checked it out. Yep....But there was a dog instead! Live! Although he seemed to have lost his interest fairly soon and left English style at about the same time I was done with the video and exited too (maybe later I'll give it more attention). The guest girl aka the Master Manifestor went on and on about how she had created her dream bf in her thoughts and then met him for real....So I guess it's all about that law of attraction, desiring, getting it, then desiring more, getting it, then desiring something else....Like my yesterday's comment, is this really about spirituality or is it about getting better at "materiality"? Mastering the dualistic game and having fun, running endlessly after more and more stuff, using spiritual practices for mundane things? I get that Teal is all about owning stuff- she had to buy that house, that car (and name it), she has such hard time letting go of stuff afterwards, she has to marry (and do it fast ) her partners. It's all about claiming something and labelling as "MINE!". I'm not saying there is something wrong with this, most people live this way, it's very 3D mentality tho...Is true spirituality about practicing non-attachment, about creating your "bliss boxes" within your soul not just material things (again, not that there is smth wrong with this if it helps), is spirituality more about your soul evolution rather than attracting all these "nice things" that might end up burdening you on your path, and ultimately about transcending all these things?

    All of this Tealness misses the point of spirituality for me personally I have realized. Firstly, spirituality is NOT a recruitment agency. You don't go around spreading spirituality to everyone you see using your looks, your intellect, your fists, or whatnot. Spirituality is only for people who are mature enough themselves to appreciate it. Who are ready on their own. Secondly, everything changes. Beautiful faces will soon become rotten corpses. And consciously making people attached to something as fleeting as your facial features is definitely AGAINST spirituality. Spirituality is about what IS, regardless of your ego. Teal's message is the exact anti-thesis of that, by saying that she made herself look pretty to convert men to spirituality. Regardless of its veracity... that's kind of a shallow non-spiritual methodology, don't you think? It exploits men's baser desires and not men's potential for higher cognition. Teal's convoluted (and frankly, vain) explanation reminds me of "flirty fishing" in the Children of God movement, where pretty women prostituted themselves to random men to convert them to their belief system. Of course, if you do that, you'll just end up recruiting a community of immature people who are definitely NOT ready for spiritual life.

    There is self-improvement and then there is spirituality. Self-improvement allows you to be better at the dualistic games of life, but spirituality is actually about self-realization. That's why many spiritual schools emphasize renunciation. It is ultimately about finding the "source", or the mechanism which drives the ego - not improving the ego itself. That's why the original meaning of "mystic" means "to close the mouth/eyes".

    My view lately is that spirituality is about transcending life itself. It is open for people who have lived through everything life has to offer - its highs and lows, its games, its social roles, satisfying human motivations - and have reached a maturity point where they suddenly yearn for something higher and more mysterious than what is readily apparent. Some call this the "divine discontent". Such a discontent is only satisfied through transcending all the dualities of life. Spirituality always been the most peculiar pursuit, because its destination has always been incomprehensible to us. Yet we yearn to get there. Home. The real one.

  125. I love everything you write and totally get your point. But this anti-materialistic-movement ... I have some new thoughts to that. I remember going bonkers with crystals....hundreds of crystals moved in and my friends father (a hardcore european buddhist) gave me the advice to concentrate more on spirituality and not the materialistic stuff I am surrounding myself with. In that moment I felt like a greedy Gollum by swtiching into his perspective.

    It changed a lot since then. I am not a hardcore-the-secret-LAO-freak at all but I do notice, don't reject and try to learn to work with and from the LAO glory. My approach to it changed. At the beginning I was focused on it for purely WANTING stuff, people, circumsdances according to my current thirst. Now I perceive it more like a deep-core-therapy to return to the workings of my spirit-(d)uality with understanding and self reflection. The process of placing an object or whatever as a goal/desire to experience it surrounds me like a new breeze of trust. It feels like the antidote to victimhood and hard practiced "poor old me"-selfperceptions.

    LAO is just a part of self realisation in my eyes but yes, it depends how you approach it and if you get lost into the attachment to its delivery or if you purely enjoy this playful approach to life and enjoy the dissappearing as much as the appearing of things and stuff and people.

    For me LAO is one very important aspect of many other laws and you can get totally hammered by it into the groundless hells of "owning" or uplifted into the amazing play of your intentions, actions and kaleidoscope like manifestations. LAO focused on other than you is another very beautiful approach

    At a certain point I built in a little reminder for me and called it Rainbow-LAO to constantly remind me of the tricky traps. Once you accepted that you will never "in"own a rainbow but certainly can enjoy it as long as it last.... then you are having a rainbow-frame-experience. So whenever I receive materialistic stuff or whenever I fall in love with a person I take the outline of the object or person and fill it with translucent rainbow light. This image will pop up on a regular base as a reminder of spirit appearing in form. A good practice to constantly detach of the materialistic form without rejecting its short lived materialistic nature. It helps to desolve seperating and painfull "owning thoughts"...but you can still play around with matter. Nothing bad about building materialistic stuff into your spiritual practice. it depends what you do with it.

  126. I loved this episode very much because Mackenzie brought in a very beautiful energy (for sure to some people maybe very annoying). So we had her open to both, embracing, including both...beautiful to watch. Then we had our sting manta Teal, who tried really hard paying attention to it and taking herself back but could hardly hold on to it and bursted out here and there like a little volcano who tries to cover earth. Then we have the very focused Sarbdeep, very focused on Mackenzie and surely giving Teal a slightly painful experience of not being the centre of attention. Enjoyed it when Teal nearly put her leg all over Mackenzie to d o m i n a t e hahahaha. Then Teal nailing sarbs against the wall, Mackenzie gently smiling and agreeing to it and Sarb-thoughts finally were put to rest.

    I did like the excitment between them a lot and Mackenzie had a beautiful approach of explaining her feelings. There was something very lovely about this session and I appreciated all perspectives - even Teals.

    Kaput just felt uncomfortable sitting on Teal who didn't know how to deal with Mackenzie's presence towards her at the beginning. ahahhaaha.

  127. Oh, the frog is still there, but he's been bumped back and to the side to allow for the blond woman. I'm sure she's very nice and the dog is cute but I like the frog. He remains stoical through it all.

    We just have to carve out some time to watch it. This one's an hour and we have to allow for pauses so that we can discuss things... or stare at each other in disbelief. I couldn't even stay awake through a half hour of Portlandia last night. And I actually like Portlandia.

    Oh. The "bliss box." Wow. So her innovation is to get a giant box where you can put all the vision boards and gratitude journals and every other goddam thing that other new age thought leaders have devised over decades. That's what she brings to the table? All those things you've been doing and keeping for years because you read your Louise Hay and your Secret, etc., etc., etc. -- now put those in a pretty box. Ta da!

    And of course my husband has been running around calling it the "wonder snatch" and other even less family friendly variations. I know this may have been lost on non-native English speakers but "box" is slang for that very special part of the female anatomy... I mean is she capable of going half a day without drawing attention to her body? I'm sorry, reading a post of her waxing philosophic about her "bliss box" was just too much double entendre for my delicate sensibilities. It's like Mrs. Slocum's pussy without the humor.

  130. I don't think of crystals as a materialistic purchase at all. In fact I'm finding the backlash against crystals to be really disheartening. I've just been stumbling into a lot of dissing of crystals. If you don't "get" crystals, ya don't, but don't piss on my parade. Crystal work is straight up amazing and I've been working with the stone people for years. Love them, love them, love them.

    Don't get me wrong. My first exposure to the crystal craze was to roll my owes at the new age lady on the news and mutter, "It's harder with you around." Then one day I went to a psychic fair and was dismayed to see it was mostly tables of crystals. Ugh. And then I picked up a piece of rose quartz and everything changed in an instant. Probably one of the most abrupt shifts in perspective I've ever experienced.

    If you have clairaudience you should be able to hear my 300 adopted crystals applauding you right now. I can't tell how often my boyfriend hurt himself by jumping into the bed and landing on one of my crystal co sleepers haahahah. I adore each crystal. Thanks earth for her bones.

  134. Well, I'm a crystal therapist so I've assembled quite a collection. Some of them were very expensive but some of my best pieces were a few bucks. What mineralogists value and what I value are often quite different. Record keeper quartz means nothing to a mineral guy. The record keeper ruby was a little pricey, though. 'Cause it's a ruby. But, oh, it's miraculous.

Anyhow my greatest investment is SHUNGITE lately. That rock rocks! Do you work with it LV?

  137. 'There is self-improvement and then there is spirituality. Self-improvement allows you to be better at the dualistic games of life, but spirituality is actually about self-realization. That's why many spiritual schools emphasize renunciation. It is ultimately about finding the "source", or the mechanism which drives the ego - not improving the ego itself. That's why the original meaning of "mystic" means "to close the mouth/eyes".'

    Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

    You know, Elena, one of the things you see with mind control cults is that they send out cute girls to recruit. It's one of those justified deceptions they use to bring people to the "truth." I never thought about teal's tactics in that light before but you're right. You raise a good point.

    ReplyDelete
  138. "That's why the original meaning of "mystic" means "to close the mouth/eyes"

    yeah they got it right. I remember studying a tribe called Kogi.

    The Kogi are an Indigenous ethnic group that lives in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia.
    From birth the Kogi attune their priests, called Mamas (which means sun in Kogi), for guidance, healing, and leadership. The Mamas are not to be confused with shamans or curers but to be regarded as tribal priests who hold highly respected roles in Kogi society. Mamas undergo strict training to assume this role. Selected male children are taken from birth and put in a dark cave for the first nine years of their lives to begin this training. In the cave, elder Mamas and the child's mother care for, feed, train, and teach the child to attune to "Aluna" before the boy enters the outside world. Through deep concentration, symbolic offerings, and divination, the Mamas believe they support the balance of harmony and creativity in the world. It is also in this realm that the essence of agriculture is nurtured: seeds are blessed in Aluna before being planted, to ensure they grow successfully; marriage is blessed to ensure fertility; and ceremonies are offered to the different spirits of the natural world before performing tasks such as harvest and building of new huts.

    Mama's are the embodiment of the world behind eyes. I was always fascinated by this approach to train keep them connected to what lies beyond their physical senses.

  139. Work with it? I've never even heard of it. Shungite. Interesting. Very black.

    I haven't bought anything new in a while. My collection is RIDICULOUS. And it's hard enough to move as it is. I wasn't planning on military life when I started it. I won't let the movers move them, either. I have fit them in the car with me because they're among the irreplaceables.

    And I'm not against collecting meaningful objects. I just can't get with the mindless materialism and consumerism of the new age. Conspicuous consumption isn't good for anybody. Not for the consumer and not for the child in the Indonesian sweat shop.

    Balance, touching the world lightly, giving back... It's not brain surgery.

  143. I checked in to the comments and saw that Teal had a new podcast on manifestation so found it and watched. Again, I see that I am soft on her AND I really enjoyed the conversation because it is about my favorite subject.

    It was a synchronicity because I had just come off a conversation with my brother Jim. I was explaining what a weird state I am in lately. He knows all about my stubborn insistance about my life "style". It is my passion to learn how to have exactly what I want just because I want it.

    The desire is a counterpoint to previous life where I did things to help and didn't mind stuffing my own ideas because I OK being the supportive one. In my work as an RN I was satisfied with my intention to support my husband's art by being the steady one. Then my husband died and over the next few years, I changed. Before, I could justify being in my job though I don't believe in the allopathic paradigm. Yes, I was good at caring but hated the underlying concepts and practices. I never wanted to get between people and their beliefs so was very quiet.

    Then the system became more and more personally onerous as the system clamped down harder. The hospital required we get flu shots and the clock ins were to be exact and I was often a late by just minutes (even one minute added up as a late record that would lead to suspensions). Right before I "retired", I WAS suspended and that just meant Goody...three days off was a pleasure. I did NOT fit any more.

    I then spent all my savings, sold off my property and NOW after 4 years I have a hard time feeling the light playful energy they reference about finance. I am in extreme resistance in many ways now. I spent some time just today questionning myself and it comes back to: I want to demonstrate that I am magical 100%.

    I believe manifestation technology is real. It has ground rules just as they describe it and the point for me beyond my "situation' is knowing that there are parallel realities and mastering the principles means to me that we each may experience anything when we know we can.

    I can't think of one specific thing I'd like to manifest personally except the space to keep figuring all this out. In the larger collective I'd like to see the new earth where everything is as I imagine soft and giving, respectful and loving and nurturing for souls to engage in materiality. I'd like to see a gradual adjustment in the hard edge of the technosphere. I would like to see all the licensing, clock-ins, border fences, allegiance to collective criteria dissolve.

    These are not things but I still believe it is up to me to create the world I choose. In some ways this happens already for me. I have areas of manifesting mastery. My body is wonderfully healthy, I have miracles that show up and synchronicity. Like tonight after I talked to Jim about just what the podcast addressed. He would be the Sarbs in the conversation with me.

    i do not think the problem is material. In fact, I feel really soft on anyone's need to experience whatever actually. Yes, I may be wrong but the idea that we each may have separate wonderful lives together sharing from total open flow of God's in-finiteness in form is my passion.

    By the way the INOWN came up in the video and later Infinity. If Infinity is not finite then Teal using that prefix "In" seems really awkward in contrast.

    BTW Lisa Gerrard since I found her is my best ever music. Another synchronicity of meaningful connecections.

  144. Wow. so many things I want to reply to. Crystals, i like them too:-) I'm not as familiar with such a variety tho. Yet. Gotta explore more. Maybe I'll connect with some special andara crystal;-) LV, wish I could schedule a session with you, interesting. Maybe one day when I'm travelling in US again.
    Me2yesu, thank you for sharing your story!
    Just to clarify, I am not making an enemy out of our material world...it has its appeal, it is a learning tool, you gotta go through all these stages...but awakening is ultimately realizing that it is just an illusion I think. It's like a movie. It can be a comedy or drama, sometimes horror, but it is not really real. And at the same time it is... Everyone eventually gets out, but you can stay trapped in this longer..or you can move on, or move up lol...
    Maggie, the world you describe...it exists already, but not in this dimension I think. Not yet. All People need to change, even physically, to evolve a lot, become "lighter" in order to co-create such a soft, harmonious world. And as we do, I truly believe we wouldn't need so many possessions of our own anymore. We'll have other joys and pleasures..We'll be very different in all respects, imo.

  145. I've had some fun time "manifesting" things, events, resources, you name it too...Some time ago, I had fulfilled what I thought I wanted in this life...and then some more (thanx for the bonus, Universe, I appreciate;)...only to realize over time I didn't know myself well enough ( or maybe I did a bit, but went against my inner voice) and all these wishes and desires weren't coming from my true essence ( more from an ambitious new immigrant trying to prove smth to her dad, to the world, but am I limited by such a description? I was then!) and eventually the results had became meaningless to me. In this case, I do understand the reason and importance of learning to love yourself and respect. But first you gotta figure out who this self is, so you are not loving just your temporary personality and serving its little needs and wants. This way you become slave to your own falsehood... And so I left it all one day, my nice comfortable life on a beautiful island called Bermuda, my loving, handsome, successful husband, my career, (my potential kid), my friends...at one point I'd realized this paradise felt more like a golden cage to me, to my Soul. I embarked on such an adventure (maybe one day I'll write a memoir, lol), I kept on manifesting interesting things...spontaneous travels, meeting all sorts of people...doing all sorts of exciting things. Soo free!! Exploring the world! Actually, once you see it works (LOA), and works well for some time, when you are so high on life....you kinda feel bored even with this after a while. Too easy. We don't appreciate things we get effortlessly. I do tend to value things more for which I actually had to do something ( other than day dreaming), had to overcome some real challenges....When you feel entitled and get rewarded immediately...well, it only serves your lower self...the spirit is becoming weaker...Btw, I have to admit, being young and ...ahem, blond, lol, helps with attracting things, esp in some places on this planet, hehe.

    But for now, I am at the point where the outside world with its thrills just doesn't interest me much anymore. I try to concentrate on getting to know who I am, who I really am, my inner world...and all these other things are mostly distractions from the real inspiration I have...I love contemplating...this is my favourite activity these days. Contemplation doesn't take me elsewhere, nor does it give me visions. I don't see flight of angels, or hear secret voices, but I see the ordinary world revealed. This doesn't require an actual alteration of perception, but a good measure of stillness. Stillness of the mind too. And I treasure these rare moments when I feel such clarity, connectedness to all there is. The experiences I have had do not set me apart, because it is an ordinary human experience intensified, it is something anyone can do, if they want to. We are not the rational animal, or the wise animal-we are the contemplative animal:-) Silence, aloneness is the first step to contemplation for me. This state teaches me a great deal. It leads to insight about the world, true insight about the nature of existence, almost everything I need really. I like meditating, reading, dancing and socializing too (just not as often anymore and not just with any crowd)...oh there are lots of things I do passionately enjoy.

  146. Back to manifesting your desires tho...At the heart of everything, of the spiritual life as well, is desire. The problem, I conclude,is not that I desire, but WHAT I desire. For example, the Buddhist desires freedom from samsara, the endless wheel; Christians...they want God, i guess, the one thing that might satisfy all their wants. Desire is not an evil thing-it might be the noblest feeling we have. What is harmful, in my opinion, is the desire for something not worthy of the true self. In a way, our current consumerism,( a bad habit like thumb-sucking:-), is a twisted version of the true desire for the spiritual life. If only this life wouldn't feel so empty! So much of our activities are basically the means to escape a very uncomfortable feeling of emptiness. People have such fear that if they are not with their close family, their friends, or busy at work, or doing some Facebook activities, something that makes them visible, that if they disconnect from it all, even temporarily, they will simply cease to exist. So many derive their sense of self only from some outside sources. Learning about stillness, about just "being", being in the silence isn't so simple for an average modern person. Untwisting your desires requires such honesty, it's scary, figuring out what you really want and how to go about getting it....First, you have to know if it comes from you or from outside you. Advertising and social manipulation confuse our spiritual longing with lust for ownership. Real desire is not about owning, imo, it's about feeling, divine connection, love....But separating your core desires from such cacophany of ads is like picking out the harp in an orchestra full of horns!

    I am trying to purify my desires. I get confused sometimes. Say, I want some chocolate...don't I want the best chocolate there is? Well, of course! But the problem with the "best" is that eventually, sooner or later, the best thing in the world gets "bested". The best always falls short,and so nothing in this world could ever really satisfy me. No sensual delight, no sweetness of ownership, no glory of success, no perfect fun moment could compare with the overpowering joy I can feel in the presence of the great mystery, reality at its most profound, drawing me ever deeper.

    This is not a matter of denying yourself but of opening yourself to the subtler, quieter tastes and textures of the world. Learning to see beyond immediate gratification, taking attention away from passing fancies; digging deeper until you reach the soul's desire, burning like a hot coal.



    Of course, all the stages I go thru serve their purposes, they all add up in the end, all are valuable. I've learned so many lessons from it all, from my past and my mistakes. But the main was to rely on my own judgement, my intuition. Although my intuition has its merits. It allows me to open up to new realms of experiences and insights not accessible to reason alone. But that doesn't mean that intuition should replace reason, at least for me personally at this point. Ultimately, both reason and intuition should be engaged, they are what allows a person to discern which experiences are worth pursuing, which are useless, and which will destroy you.

    Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm tearing up a little. That's it exactly.

    You're singing my song, Elena. Exactly. Except I never had the magical manifestation of everything phase. What I did learn, though, was that my desire to own stuff meant my desire and my stuff owned me. This new age promise that can have anything, be anything, do anything, is "another control" to borrow a phrase from The Matrix.

    This world is a system of elaborate traps. We are in material form so we need to materially support ourselves just to maintain our corporeal existence. But it's all an illusion. It's all maya. And when we buy into the I'LL play the game better and win all the prizes mentality, we're still playing a game of winners and losers and more ensnared in the illusion than ever.

  152. Last year I felt compelled to study the history of the supervolcano history of Yellowstone and left it feeling a little reassured as it may be actually de-escalating over geologic time to "smaller" periodic eruptions. This is quite likely from the historic trend.

    For every "one" the apocalypse, end time,and Armageddon becomes personal.

    What we have in the mean time is temporary and "detachment" is accomplished daily. IMO we create death daily too and the evil it represents. I have my own contemplation on this....

    When I feel into it, my fear of overwhelm from earth changes is activated by knowing I chose things that could fall apart easily. This is a big shadow piece. Fear of loss it could make me desperate if not recognized. I mean, if I am desperate, I could do some very stupid and wrong actions that conform to evil. I could cheat, steal, kill in the name of survival at an extreme.

    Manipulating to get what I think must be taken is an intention that has many appearances. I see all my shadow rear up in my fear of my world being obliterated.

    Survival is so primal seeming but I don't think it is based on the truth we ARE infinite. I call out Archontic substitution. What I mean is that there is truth and its dual antitruth on a wide scale. If I accept the necessity, I can express it on a small scale, capitulating to evil. IF I think the God of death demands murder and child rape as a sacrifice for my well being, I'd be like the reptile influenced crowd I hear about.

    I agree with the comment that in another "dimension", my vision of life without "archontic bad ideas" is already true. But here I am on a hot Georgia morning with a seeming split between what makes sense to me and its polar opposite extreme and I do so want the neutral that elevates over my idea poles of "life and death".

    IMO the problem cannot be Universal. maybe it is just an illusory phase Here?

    We are eternal consciousness fingerlets. From a larger angle, manipulation and taking are expressions of dis- avowal IMO of "who we are".

    That is why Teal's "picture" of how to operate made me very angry some time back. It seemed to use the (somewhat garbled) "right words" to lure us to accept the OK nature of manipulation. She seemed to be passing on a form of "victim persecutor and rescuer" disguised as empowerment.

    Teal looked to me like she uses sorcery in her "come hither". I believe sorcery is feeding evil. I define sorcery as manipulation and domination on the subtle realm.

    Her beliefs cannot determine my own reality. THAT is what I am looking for...disconnect from being tied to believed choices. Live and let live seems the promise of YCYOR.

    The LACK consciousness can justify about any kind of "rape" (as rape is about power and taking and destruction) and the rape of innocence be it children or the earth has the same intention).

    Sacrifice and domination was introduced to the world as necessary for mere survival. City states reflected these beliefs and whole populations could be harnessed for their energies just as individuals and planet beings. All in the name of necessity to survive.

    Love and fresh information is always streaming but we have to accept it. Those who say we pinch it off make sense. It is always available to tap into love and we cannot "hold on" to it as it streams through. I can see I have used strong pinching as a strategy to hold onto something: seen as a way to collect. Makes energy finite brittle and entropic.

    Tendencies for control always back fire. In my big TOE, we want to grok the duality pendulum and free ourselves form being a part of the Archontic Liearchies.

    I consider death to be THE "God" the SYSTEM created and perpetuate. Maybe death is the antichrist. We change form, we change dimensions maybe, we change but life is eternal.
    Thanks for letting me show you my TOE.

I've been lucky enough to live and work here year-round in Yellowstone National Park since 2010, and every Spring I am blessed to witness them running ... in a celebration of life, in a celebration of the coming richness of the Spring Season ... and running for the sheer joy of being able to!

  154. GA, Check. I've been checking a number of links and news reports, though, this am, and there are a number of reports of all manner of wildlife on the move. So, I'm not mollified. Like I said, I sincerely hope this is an overreaction in the very reactionary woo world, but the amt of seismic activity in the region is concerning. As is the seismic activity all over the Pacific basin lately. I want to know more and trace more of these reports back. The uptick in concern about the supervolcano predates the recent quake and goes back to March because there've been a number of tremors in the region.

  155. LV, if I lived close to Yellowstone, I would move.
    Even a little volcano event like around 70,000 years ago would be big. I was a bit mollified by my research about an extinction level event but it is still a big caldera.

    It is also feeling to me still very tense in LA.
    I have been thinking that I live in a relatively great place...Blue Ridge Georgia...earth changes wise. no matter, best to be ready when its time to say "I'm armageddon outa here".

  156. Edgar Cayce predicted a very similar scenario almost 100 yrs ago. Some scientists say about pole reversal going on, it used to happen before, and we are actually overdue....If this super volcano actually erupts....you better be really REALLY far away. I'm talking not in North America...the clowd is gonna be enormous and temperatures so high....well, i'll stop here.
    Also Sun is expected to "flip upside down" any time now due to magnetic field reversing its polarity according to nasa.

  162. So, Elena, yes we are very close to the solar magnetic reversal. It does this roughly every 11 years, is my understanding. Although, apparently this solar maximum has been most surprising for its quiescence. We shall see.

    I'm familiar with the Cayce prophecies on the earth "rolling over." This is also a major focus of Drunvalo's work. I've posted a lot on this and I go round and round on how I feel about it. I'd like to think Dru is right and it's tied to a leap in consciousness.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Yeah, I think it's all connected to the state of humanity and consciousness shift and evolution. And I believe, like Maggie mentioned, if we focus internally and connect with Gaia, the more of us the better, we might make it smoother. Everything is so intertwined and we have some real power to make it worse or less painful transition. But I think it's too late to avoid some painful stage altogether...

    Btw, that "magical manifestation of everything phase"...wasn't of everything of course, and sometimes it felt like "black magic" too for me, hehe. You gotta be careful what you wish for - the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, often you get what you want...but there is a twist, a surprise at some point, you simply can't think of everything, can't cover all the areas, all the points while "placing your order to the Universe". And finally, at least in this reality, there comes a time when you have to pay back...for all the things you've so shamelessly enjoyed. Life is so amazing, so many-sided, diverse and unpredictable both for the whole nations, and for each of us individually. Its events, hidden and evident, are transient and impressive. The invisible trace they leave in people’s memory is mysterious. They don’t only leave but unnoticeable change the future destiny... both of a person and of nations, depending on our own choices and actions.
    I am wondering about this belief of attraction (like attracts the like)...and that if you are in a high vibration nothing bad can happen to you...Doesn't always work this way. Actually, isn't it also true that OPPOSITES attract??? They say in this New Age community if you are positive you will bring more positivity, but...in some other laws that's the other way around- Opposites attract. And likes repel. Take charge interactions: "These two types of electrical charges - positive and negative - are said to be opposite types of charge. And consistent with our fundamental principle of charge interaction, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object. Oppositely charged objects will exert an attractive influence upon each other. In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart. Similarly, a negatively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second negatively charged object. Objects with like charge repel each other." So...yeah...that's how Nature works and that's why science brings us our modern commodities.
    Sometimes I'm in a super good mood, flying oh so high!...and then all of a sudden...bum!! Shit happens. And other days I come out of my apartment in a rotten mood, thinking this day is gonna be dreadful...and something amazing happens to me...even life changing! I have a few very real examples.
    So guys, if we are creating our own reality, who is responsible for these earthquakes now? I have created that? Should I just pretend nothing is happening and create some happy bubble and simply go "lalalala"?Avoid being in a "fear mode" with all means possible. Is by reading more on the subject and educating myself I am bringing this even more into my reality or is it possible that it helps to do some adjustments and take some precautions? Without panicking of course. For example, take some ship which is drowning...let's say like Titanic...some people are asleep blissfully, completely oblivious, until it's too late....and some are informed before hand and aware of the situation as it really is might come up with a plan how to save themselves and others more efficiently...

  164. "Archontic Lierarchies." I like that, me2yesu. I need to talk about the reptile thing, though. I think reptiles get a bad rap in the woo world and unfairly and I've been thinking more and more about why that is.

    I posted this a while ago which addresses the mixed messages in the Bible re: serpents. Also some of the confusion in the woo about archons, who may or may not be reptilian, and reptile/serpent mythos more broadly.

    What I'm realizing more and more, though, is that this anti-reptilian obsession is, at bottom, a form of sexism. In the most ancient myths, the mother goddess is a great serpent. This has been largely stripped from later iterations, but Gaia/Sophia is a dragon.

    Native peoples built serpent mounds for a reason. (Bonus! Link contains bitchin' Dead Can Dance track.) This is some of our most ancient mythology and it keeps getting conflated with the archontic consciousness by Icke and the many people his work has influenced.

    I think it's entirely possible that it's part of a larger disinfo campaign to keep us powerless and to keep the divine feminine suppressed.

  165. Elena, see, this is why I think most of this LOA stuff is bullshit. It's made up of so many ludicrous premises that are stated as if they are facts. Wasn't it Proctor who said in The Secret that positive will attract positive and negative will attract negative, "just like a magnet." Except that this is the exact opposite of how magnets work. But this is the genius who blithely announces that "no one knows" how electricity works. This shit hurts my brain.

    I don't care how happy you are on any given day, you're still going to source your shadow reflections. Get used to it. It's all going to be reflected to you. And the more you deny and suppress the bits you don't like, and force them into unconsciousness (shadow) the more inevitable that they will blindside you. I don't care how many trinkets you have in your "treasure crevice" -- you can thank my husband for that one, too -- you sill have to face your shadow. How you "feel" about it is irrelevant. And you're right. We all know this because we've all had the experience of having the exact opposite of how we're feeling or intending occur. And then wondered why all our creative visualizations aren't working so well. Because it's a faulty premise. That's why.

  171. Thanks GA. I also have a facebook thread going on this topic and someone else suggested the migration for food thing. I think it's a very good explanation and this may have just been a youtube and woo fueled panic. It really hit critical mass yesterday. After those first reports I saw yesterday, it just snowballed throughout the day and started moving into the mainstream media. I wouldn't be as inclined toward concern if there weren't so many big earthquakes right now. And if I weren't so dizzy.

    Since the Chilean thing, my dizziness has been gradually subsiding so I'm hoping that was the primary trigger. It would help if I really understand why I get tones, dizziness, and other physical symptoms associated with earth changes. There's little predictive value beyond, something is coming somewhere on earth, which is why I don't talk about it much publicly. The day of the Chile quake, after days of increasing dizziness, I was completely incapable of doing much of anything that required standing or walking, I was so dizzy. Then it gradually subsided after the main quake. I think the fact that it's continuing at all may have more to do with the ongoing aftershocks, some of which have been huge.

    So, for now, I'm taking myself off code red, and I'm going to assume that this was just a panic, probably fueled in part by the fact that the collective is feeling some very real agita about earth changes more broadly right now.

  172. "Yes, I’m admitting it here… every once in a while, Teal has a complete breakdown."

    Does she think no one has ever read her blog before? When isn't she having a meltdown, or "seizure," or whatever? Is a breakdown worse than a trauma induced seizure? How are we defining these terms? Can someone help me out here? I think we need a chart or something.

  173. Elena, who says I'm sane? I'm with Philip K. Dick on that one. Years of research, yes, in the broadest sense of the word. Not scholarly research. Just a lot of meditating, journeying, and dreaming, and following the breadcrumb trail through the myths to explain what I'm seeing and feeling. It's a very inside out process.

  175. Do you Believe in fairies? I do. Hypothetically I believe in everything in the interdimensionals, the ultra dimensionals, the underworld, the middle kingdom and the worlds "above" all of these worlds just here.

    Realistically I have seen lights and flashes often but that is all.... except when using entheogens when I actually saw amazing visions eyes open.

    I already thought I cannot see most of the activity because I deny what cannot be in my "view". That makes sense to me.

    People have accepted boundaries and IMO that is why we do keep blocking the stage for same and liking our repeating patterns.

    So in that video on manifestation, I liked what was said there about what I call "denial-ability" as a fundamental manager of perception.

    I think Teal does draw on ideas that are true but can look ridiculously stupid without the full picture.IMO, she did not look as well adjusted to "this new state of magic" as her new tea podner McKenzie (sp). The other person looked so at ease even in this new environment. She seems to have incorporated the principles well.

  177. Sorry if i am commenting too much but when i went and read Teal's blog,it just solidified my conviction that she is totally dissociated from her own teachings.

    In the 1970's NYC was described as dirty and dnagerous. I went with a BF who's ousin and wife had a flower shop in the east village. At the time there were ondemned apartment buildings people squatted in (hired a super for the boilers and just took the space without permission).

    I took their kids to school and met so many wonderful caring people on the streets. It was beautifully chaotic and full of surprises. All together i have spent a few months in NYC and it has treasures of nature in the craks and crannies plus the wondr that comes when so many people gather.

    Teal is a walking example of leaky field who depends on her environment to regulate her experience. She is a hypocrite and I feel sorry for her but she is no more able to advise how to manage reality than my cat can drive a car.

  178. I do believe in fairies! I do believe in fairies!

    I love fairies and elves and all things devic. Whether or not they can be seen or photographed in this dimension, I can't say. Graham Hancock makes a strong case in Supernatural for a correlation between UFO abduction, fairy lore, and shamanic experiences. I posted his lecture on the topic here.

    Here's the thing. Fairy myth and serpent myth are intertwined. That link is also largely forgotten. but Melusine, for instance is described as a kind of dragon, fairy, mermaid creature. I stumbled on this piece years ago and marked it because I found it fascinating.

    I think you're right that we need to entrain our vision to see beyond cultural limitations. One thing I've always recommended is to pay attention to your peripheral vision. Very often we'll see things in the periphery and when we turn to look at them head on, they're not there. My theory is that our peripheral vision isn't as fully entrained to culturally imposed expectations so the perceptual aperture is wider.

I am the one which is left over and I am trying to figure out where it all went. I still see the black whole in front of me. It doesn't want anything from me and don't want anything from it.

    I am just looking and feeling without any inner dialog.
    mhhhh... what just happened?

  184. I like the reset button GA, have you an extra one? I waffle between my contradictions but yesterday I wrote a poem to myself about all is well in heaven and hell because neither is a Place but my own inner dwell....

    I will share being a kissy face in exchange ......

    (We are) Kissy Faces for Love

    Being full of kissing bliss
    A being glowed and sparkled, effervesced.
    Damn! She could not hold it, felt remiss.
    Sought to fix her knowing this.

    People have their daily trials of love
    The wax and wane of feeling "up above"
    the hardship. Floating with a blessed dove
    of peace alighting briefly,on she moves.

    The love is always here.
    Life's perfect kisses come and go.

    Patience will us educate.
    A spot of nothing where all waits.
    In stillness, paradox negates
    that love's kisses ever heisitate.

    Lover lost her patience, tried to reinstate
    The feeling: how did her love's kiss translate?
    She sought a short cut found one cut rate,
    Could not restore her wholly happy state.

    Our love is always here.
    Have patience, kisses come and go

    Not to say we shouldn't seek and learn.
    We feel an urge to understand. We yearn
    to stop the tides, to soothe a burn,
    to keep the milk from being churned.

    The stream of life has tides and rhythm in.
    A loaf that seeks it's leavening,
    With punches the bread is heavening.
    Lighter loaf from seeming dampening.

    The love is always there.
    Life's imperfect kisses may feel blows.

    In the mirror, I end my preaching.
    Stop pretending what I am reaching
    is the hopeful of a perfect teaching.
    Nothing stalls but ego's over reaching.

    My world is perfectly imperfect and OK.
    I am feeling mighty, happy anyway.
    Happiness is more than any possible way,
    that pleasure from kisses came my way.

    The love is always there.
    Love's perfect kisses come and go.

    Suffering does not live in love's domain.
    It is our own realm where hurts explain
    themselves as we have felt a pain;
    Where we have contradictions to disdain.

    Maybe like rubber of a sling that stretches
    We pull taut and tight to feel like wretches?
    By letting go we see releasing fetches
    such a goodness! We and kissing meshes.

    Love is always here.
    Kissing Kissing Kissing as we go.

  185. Noncast: All About Manifesting pt 1

    Teal and Sarbdeep's most recent not-podcast has taken a while to process. It's long, unbelievably convoluted, and internally contradictory. My husband thought that as the discussion progressed they sounded increasingly like they were wasted.

    I had three major problems with this narrowcast. 1) I disagreed with much of what was said, on principle. 2) I thought teal demonstrated incredible rudeness by constantly stealing focus both from Sarbdeep, who barely got a word in, and their guest Mackenzie Scott. 3)The frog was just lost in this one. I need more frog. Oh, and more cowbell... So four, four major problems with this teacast.

    Mackenzie seems like a sweet and well-meaning person. And like many LOA people, I think many of the tools she describes can be used constructively. I just disagree with her interpretation, at least as it's framed here.

    I'm a big supporter of making lists. I think it's a great ritual. By the standard put forward here, I totally manifested my darling husband. Much like Mackenzie, I wrote a very specific list of the traits I wanted in a partner. My husband appeared in my life not long after I had completed it. I found that he met all but a couple of the more trivial criteria. But I am left with a question. Did I draw my husband into my life through my focused intentionality, or did I encounter those traits in others and compile that list because my husband and I were about to connect and I needed to know how to recognize him. In other words, was I sending or receiving that information? Or both?

    A lot of the things that were on my list were things I'd never thought of or sought previously in a mate but they were traits I was becoming aware of and found myself quite liking, much as Mackenzie described. Perhaps universe had been prepping me for a while so that I would be more receptive to being with a man like my husband.

    Oracle: Don't worry about the vase.
    Neo: What vase?
    Oracle: That vase.
    . . .
    Neo: How did you know?
    Oracle: Ooohhhh.... What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have broken it If I hadn't said anything.


    http://youtu.be/kqFPDrDWAHs

    I'm fond of Jungian synchronicities, too, but not because, like teal, I think they prove that the universe will hand me whatever I think up. More because they are reminders that we are not, in fact, separate from what we observe. I'm much more interested in consciously aligning with universe than in imposing my will on things. I think "manifestation" has more to do with honoring intuition, showing up, and listening rather than talking at spirit.

    Says teal, "This is literally your design and if you don't decide what you want the universe will decide for you."

    Well, we can't have that now can we. Because we all know that the universe is an idiot and will no doubt bring you a bunch of crap that you don't want.

    The universe is not your bitch. It's not, as Joe Vitale put it in The Secret, a giant catalog where you can just order up whatever you want. It's not, God help me, your genie.

    Teal talks a lot in this one about how we create our own reality, which is standard LOA ideology. It's also a truncated and narcissistic belief. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say we co-create reality with all the other sentient beings in the universe?

    If I believe, as Mackenzie seems to, that I can manifest, out of nothing but my imagination, a person waving a banana around, that would mean I am the source of that banana-waving lunatic's reality -- that he has no agency and exists only as my fantasy. This is metaphysical solipsism. Wouldn't it make more sense, and show a little more humility, to consider that the banana-waver and I just co-created that bizarre banana-waving moment? Isn't it also possible that banana-waving popped into Mackenzie's head as a precognition of something that was about to occur? It seems like a better demonstration of precognition and some kind of telepathy than wish fulfillment.

    One of the things that I did NOT hear in this discussion was the all important caveat: "This or something better, for the highest good of all."

    No one ever seems to mention this anymore when they're talking about conscious manifestation, but it's crucial. Why? Because including some version of that phrase acknowledges that the totality of the universe might just be a little smarter than our limited ego perspective. It allows for the workings of spirit. It acknowledges that when "the universe decides for you," it might actually know what it's doing, even if that means our best laid plans fall apart. How else to make way for something more wonderful than we ever could have imagined. And, most importantly, when we say that, we acknowledge that there are other people in the world and the totality of the universe might know a little better what they need.

    This is what Christina Pratt calls the big dream and it is vastly superior to selfish fantasy. http://celestial-reflections.blogspot.com/2011/06/oprah-james-ray-and-cult-of-victim.html

    I'm a mystical thinker, not a solipsist. Solipsism says you are my reflection. Mystical thought says, from my position in the universe, you are my reflection. But from your perspective in the universe, I am your reflection. And from within our ego, the part of us that has identity and has wants and needs, we are co-creating with all those other egos in the universe.

    Four minutes in, teal interrupts Sarbdeep in the midst of a very appropriate clarifying question.

    "Can I interject with this. You can think about that for sec and I'll sort of, um, explain."

    As if MacKenzie had not just been explaining. As if she needs an interpreter. To my ear she was being quite clear. But, no. Here she comes to save the day and tealsplain it to the pod.

    Teal seems incapable of engaging in dialogue. She lectures and she demands. So where Sarbdeep is engaging in good interview technique -- active listening, clarifying questions, evolving the idea through discourse -- teal just interrupts and takes over. She cheats to the camera when the others are talking and then turns straight into the camera and starts monologuing. And what she has to say pretty much negates any idea that we might be receiving rather than sending. Her relationship with universe seems to the same as her relationship to others: lectures and demands.

    At 13:44 she says "I'm like so dominating this conversation this is horrible," so maybe she has some self-awareness. Funnily, this is what the YouTube transcript says there: "I'm like saddam leave a card."

    My husband points out that teal and Sarbs were all matchy-matchy in their black clothes. But teal doesn't seem able to stand wearing modest attire. She pushes up her sleeves and exposes as much of her skin and her ink as possible. A conscious decision seems to have been made to highlight their guest by putting her in the middle and in a peacock-like blouse. But teal is just not having it. After all the distractions of having the dog on her lap, then brushing the dog hair off her lap, she folds her legs up on the chair and partially blocks Mackenzie with her knee.

    When Sarbdeep is speaking, teal's need to steal focus seems to escalate. She moves around in her chair. She plays with her hair. She clears her throat. When Mckenzie speaks, she seems to be trying harder to dial it back and just looks like she's quietly stewing.

    She also can't not make crude sexual references. Jason thinks that "tittie top" reference was like a tic she was trying to restrain but couldn't.

    Sarbdeep is once again doing a lot of that balancing mudra of bringing all five fingertips together. I expect he needs to. At one point, though, I noticed he was just bringing his index fingers together. As per Virginia Sandlin, this is the "held resentment" finger. I've found this to be an excellent technique and marvelous for self-care.

    Around the 45 minute mark Jason says Sarbdeep looks like he's consciously trying NOT to "frame," as per the previous noncast on his subtle use of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

    Sarbdeep has got to be a little frustrated because he keeps asking good clarifying questions and she keeps waving her arms around and going, because reasons! [I really do wish you could see my husband doing this particular impression of teal because hilarious!]

    "She muddies the waters to make them seem deep," says Jason, paraphrasing Nietzsche, regarding that muddlelogue about the tea cup. "I read the Tao of Physics, too. That doesn't make me a sage."

  188. Noncast: All About Manifesting pt 4

    Jason thinks this little exchange requires more analysis so I will endeavor to transcribe it:

    Teal: The energy in this universe does not become one thing or another. It is in a state of potential. That's scientific proof, now. So you've even got science backing that one up. Saying you're right. [Source? Reference? Relevance? Name one scientist or scientific theory that says that.] The entire universe is in a state of potential. And it is essentially wave function that collapses into what you see as TEAL, or as cup, or as floor.

    Sarbdeep: Yeah.

    . . .

    Mackenzie: I love what you're saying about though, about this infinite potential and then it condenses. And I actually told Blake a story the other day that I'd love to share with you.

    Teal:
    [The teal grimace here is priceless] Yeah I want you to but just a second. Blake, it is certain that this is a cup. Uncertainty is a good thing because the minute you decide that this is certainly a cup then it's a cup forever. You have no ability to manifest anything other than cup when you see this certainly as a cup. So to be in the energy of uncertainty is to be in the state of potential energy. [Who on earth says that just because a thing "certainly" exists, it will be that thing forever? Seriously. Who? No one. No one says that. Certainty and permanency are not the same thing. Not to anyone but teal.]

    Sarbdeep: But it is, I mean to me, that is a cup. You can, I can say, "Oh, you know what, wel..."

    Teal: Is it a cup?! What level do you wanna describe this at? Are these atoms?

    Sarbdeep: I would describe that...

    Teal: What makes these atoms different than the atoms in your body? Nothing.
    ["Uh, those atoms make up different elements than the ones that are in my body for starters." ~ Jason]

    Sarbdeep: Well, the fact that they rearrange in a different way makes that a cup.

    Teal: So you're talking potentials.
    [At about this point, Jason expresses joy that she's full of shit and that his coffee cup is a current, real-time cup rather than simply a potential cup because otherwise his hot coffee would be in his lap.]

    Mackenzie: Yes, rearranging, yes.

    Teal: You're talking potentials. This could potentially be a cup.
    [No, it was potentially a cup. Now it's a cup.]

    Sarbdeep: I'm talking reality. It's a cup. I see a cup in front of me.

    Teal: If I smashed it, it would no longer be a cup.

    Sarbdeep: It would be a broken cup.

    Teal: Which is not a cup.
    [So, what she's saying is, it's only potentially a cup because in the future it might be a broken cup??? Wouldn't the broken cup be the potential?]

    Sarbdeep: Well, it was a cup.

    Teal: And once it was a mineral in the earth.
    [You mean when it had, past tense, the potential to be a cup?]

    Sarbdeep: Yeah, and it was reconstituted and made into a cup.

    Teal: It wasn't a cup when it was a mineral.
    ["It wasn't a cup when it was a mineral. So therefore it can never be a cup? What?" ~ Jason]

    Sarbdeep: It had the potential of being a cup.

    Yay! Teal wins! And they all have a good laugh at Sarbdeep's expense, including Sarbdeep. Silly Sarbdeep. Except that it was actually teal who changed her position midway through that exchange and restated exactly what Sarbdeep had been saying. It's a kind of verbal judo wherein she co-opts the other person's opposing argument and then declares victory.

    Says Jason, she didn't just move the goal posts in that segment. She took a chessboard, spun it around and started playing with the other side's pieces which held positions that would have ultimately resulted in checkmate.

    It's also one of the worst cases of physics abuse I've ever seen.

    Oh, and, again, "Office: Submarine!"

    http://youtu.be/0al0xeCVCMk

    Af the very end of the podcast there's an outtake wherein Mckenzie notes that they're all connected through their knees, Jason recommends backing it up just to look at teal's expression and then backing up again to look at Sarbdeep. She looks very, um, tight. Sarbdeep is laughing and enjoying the moment but glancing at teal to check the limits or something. It's weird. Check it out.

    Lavaughn: I am so excited to read your new Noncast. Always a masterpiece.

  191. Love love love it.

    "In other words, was I sending or receiving that information?"

    YESYES such a crucial question. Like a medium who talks to the dead in front of the loved ones. Do they really communicate with the "dead" or do they simply pick up thoughts from the loved one in front of them? I do not see a difference between a medium or a "LAO creator self perception.

    -A manifesto is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government.[1][2][3][4] A manifesto usually accepts a previously published opinion or public consensus and/or promotes a new idea with prescriptive notions for carrying out changes the author believes should be made. It often is political or artistic in nature, but may present an individual's life stance. -
    I always noticed that as soon as I declare something to MYSELF (being VERY sure) it happens. Your questions are right. Did I declare what I just received and allowed to take on or did I plant a new thought dot and the flower grows around it. mhhhh

    "Well, we can't have that now can we. Because we all know that the universe is an idiot and will no doubt bring you a bunch of crap that you don't want. "
    hahahah rolling on the floor.

    "partially blocks Mackenzie with her knee. "
    yeah that was for blind people. MK reacted well by not moving :D Teal gets quickly insecure and then the domina comes out. And I also got annoyed when Teal was interrupting the great dialog between MK and S. MK had a great way of laying her thoughts on the table.

    "It's also one of the worst cases of physics abuse I've ever seen. "
    ????

    "She looks very, um, tight. Sarbdeep is laughing and enjoying the moment but glancing at teal to check the limits or something. It's weird. Check it out."
    I noticed that S CONSTANTLY checks and scans Teal. Like a seismograph to check out a potential earth quake. I think that is his way of helping to limit the stress for Teal. She might be a "bit" jealous in regards to the attention focus of him. He was very focused on Mk and right so - it was a beautiful conversation

    Loved your analysis and thoughts. Need to go and digest because I feel like jumping trains. I get what you say and it also sounds right what they said. I guess I need to find some ground to stand on.

  193. So I had some second thoughts on your quote "In other words, was I sending or receiving that information?"

    In other words: Are we all mediums who pick up vibes before they actually manifest into matter or we focus machines who shape the invisible into desireful matter?
    I do think that (by choice and with awareness) we very consciously we shape the invisible fabric into forms we can interact with. However we also deal with co creation by "others" to whic we relate and which we experience. I think it is impossible to distinguish if you your focus is influenced by medium qualities or conscious creator qualities. This would also explain why we deal with really strange things in life.

    Unfortunate or blessed events can becaused by co creators or very concious or unconcious focus points of yourself. Considering that we all work on very different building sites in each moment, some are higher vibrational, others are more tinted by a rejecting thought structure, some you are not even aware of...and same with every other's creation field... it is impossible to have full control about shaping or deleting matter (deep core desire of LAO approach) based on co creation.

    I had a girl friend. She told me that there is a kitten coming into her life. She was very unrelaxed. One day she drove home and thought "now". A kitten was crossing the road and she jumped on her breaks. This kitten is now a stunning cat and her favorite (her "soul" cat). Now: was she picking up the vibes of the little guy (she is also a medium) or did her desire for company and love for kittens created this whole situation? Both. The seed-thought which created living-matter and her medium skills worked like a navigation system to actually unit with her creation.

    mmmhh does it makes sense?

  194. LV. Actually I think Teal and Sarbdeep are talking past each other here somewhat. This often happens when people debate or argue, and they can even be arguing for the same proposition without realising it! In this case Teal is probably arguing that the 'cup' is actually a manifestation of Source, as are the so-called atoms in the cup and in anything (I think you would agree with her here but I admit she is not being very clear). I think Sarbdeep is arguing from a scientific stance. The funny thing is both points of view could be valid in that Source chooses to manifest cups though Big Bangs, clay deposits and human artisans (to cut a long story short :)). They are talking past each other because they are in a slightly confrontational mode rather than what philosophers try to develope which is called 'charity'. This is to try to see the best side and strongest side of the other persons argument. The reason we do this is that only then can we either really understand and accept that they have a good point or truly cut it to pieces :). In fact Teal is outdone here, not because she is confused or equivocating, but because she is not trying to 'win' an argument. She is talking about the consequeces of everything being One, and I think Sarbdeep is a bit quick to challenge her here, rather than fully understand what she is arguing, as are you of course. May I suggest to anyone who has a slightly open mind to rewatch from around the 42 minute mark and just imagine Teal is trying to explain that the cup is a manifestation of Source, and indeed of any of us that are perceiving it. Whether that is entirely correct I'm personally not sure, but at least please don't shout a good person down for being a little unclear. :) x

  195. Hi everyone!

    I think ive read about every comment that has been made on these 3 blog posts. And its so great to see that people are starting to realise because ive felt so alone with these thoughts for such a long time. I think its almost 2 years now since i got suspicious about Teal and started to investigate her. I had this feeling inside of me that something was wrong ever since i first saw her.

    I am what some people call an ''empath'' so i see very easily if people are not acting out the true feelings inside of them. A fake smile to me has always been easy to spot. But not with her. I just sense that something is terribly wrong but its so hard to put a finger on it. Its like she is emotionless, like a zombie or a robot. There is no emotion behind what she does or says at all. And i just dont understand it.

    Its so very weird to me that a woman who is so smart (which she is in many ways), has become so lost. There is something fishy about all of this, in so many ways that just doesnt add up.

    Teals background story doesnt add up, and her teachings is full of contradictions, and this is the easy part of the truth.

    But how did she get where she is today, how did all of this start, and how did she really gain all this knowledge and where did it start to go wrong?

  196. I would claim that what Teal teaches is 90% good and 10% bullshit. All of the spiritual things she is speaking about is old news, but again she is very good at explaining things with own words and making things simple to understand. What i dont understand is where all the mambojambo came from, why, and how it ended up like it did.

    For me there is something very weird going on in the entire ''spiritual movement''. Its like there is a thin red line going through the whole movement which isnt just about Teal.

    I belive there is a possibility there is something bigger behind this. And i belive it needs some attention, atleast more than it gets now.

    Before i go further i want to say that this may sound crazy but after studying Madame Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Crowley, Satanism and the new age movement i feel that there is a link between all of this.

    We live in a world where negativity is pushed upon us everywhere we go. The world is going more and more crazy for each day that passes. And now more and more people are starting to ''wake up'' to this and see the world for what it really is. People are starting to ask question and research subject that wouldnt even cross their minds ever in the past. A lot of things is happening in this world right now, that is beyond discussion.

    Anyhow, if spirituality is the only solution to our world problem, dont you think that someone would corrupt this to try and keep things as it is? Doesnt it atleast sound plausable?

    Madame Blavatsky was the first person in the world to talk about the Akashic records. She claimed that she learned about it from some ancient text she was shown in a trip to Asia but this has never been prooved, nor has there been any evidence for such text to exist. Ergo the Akashic records is a term ''invented'' by Madame Blavatsky.

    So why does most of the new age ''gurus'' like Teal Scott, Bashar and so on ALSO talk about the Akashic records? I mean if you have read Blavatsky background story, her books, teachings and so on, its kinda weird that with all the controversy around her that they pick up some of her teachings.

    They pick up teachings from someone many people claimed to be a satanist. A woman who gave out a newspaper called Lucifer. A woman that started Lucis Trust, which still exists today.

    It doesnt make sense.
