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.

  1. I noticed today that I have a very active attraction core of Betrayal in me.
    It works in me like a big fat magnet
    Teal is part of this magnetism.
    very interesting to see this.

  2. GA,
    I often feel we have synchronicity and yesterday I was using a mythologic way that I interact with myself, talking to BETRAYAL. Betrayal is a biggie.

    I used something my "adopted sister" who is following Buddhism shared. is adapted from the ideas of Tsultrim Allione.

    http://www.amazon.com/Feeding-Your-Demons-Resolving-Conflict/dp/0316013137

    Basically it is just allowing "whatever comes up" to appear as one's "demon" (IMO at that moment and not permanent) and then talk to it and then "feed it". It is based an idea IMO that we ourselves refuse ourselves. If we feed an aspect of self, it then changes and is an ally.

    Yesterday I was feeling into BETRAYAL. I am studying Joe Dispenza and the idea that I am fearful of vaccinations and angry, REALLY ANGRY, that healthcare workers are forced to be vaccinated. IMO it would really be great if i was not triggered by being FORCED. That means I am less free than if I was unconcerned.

    The betrayal came up as all the times I have experienced terrible treatment from sources I trusted. The UNloving actions came when i had my guard down OR from those are "supposed to be trustworthy like "the medical system". This demon looked like a slimy faux friendly creature with a knife held behind its back. It was smiling and if I had just believed its smile, I'd get close enough and then be stabbed.

    The whole point is that we have observed this "visage" imaginally...imagination is mythic....

    Then I fed this demon what it wanted...my trust....feeling it was a part of me I rejected as "I am MYSELF bad for me" and it changed to an Ally.

    I talked to the Ally, who said it could help me know that I am safe with myself. I can always know that nothing outside will "hurt me" when i am safe for myself. I felt really such goodness there in that Ally for me and my well being.

    IMO when anything comes up, we can work on that through information (communication) and love (acknowledgement and energy feeding) and we do not have to dredge anything up. If betrayal is a magnet for me at the moment, i can make friends by incorporating it's energy.

    These things come up so fast now. I am sure we are all facing the "unloved" aspects that reflect as experiences to then embrace. No need for me to go to TEAL and figure her out, to see if she is reliable or not. It is a "who cares" when my own own inner being-ness knows everything that is right on now for me.....

  3. Noncast: Inner Children and Candy Bars pt 1

    The problem with these tea things is that every thirty minutes opens up at least ninety minutes of analysis. Deconstructing her arguments is an exercise in futility because a good deal of it makes no sense at all. The misuse of language alone could keep you busy for days. "How do you eat an elephant?" says my husband, paraphrasing Creighton Abrams. "One bite at a time."

    This week continues along the 180 degree different path that teal has admittedly undertaken. It's back to childhood we go to heal everything in our lives -- even cancer, btw.

    If I understand this properly, what teal is claiming is that all of our problems originate in the first 8 years of life. Everything that interferes with our ability to stay "positive" is found in "trauma" in that time period. Every problem is a reflection of that original trauma. So if you're raped when you're twenty-two, it's really because of some "trauma" that occurred in childhood which made you magnetize that rape. If you want to heal anything in your life, you have to go back to the ages 0-8 and find out what your parents or the hospital maternity ward did to screw you up for life. Trauma can be pretty much anything and ALL parenting styles result in trauma. The world according to teal.

    She cites no sources for any of this verkakte theory, just claims it all as fact.

    One of the biggest problems here is that she doesn't seem to know the difference between stress -- even very mild stress -- and trauma. Every minor challenge in those early years results in suppression of emotion -- because all parents suppress their children's emotions (???) -- and causes "fracturing." Result: Everyone, absolutely EVERYONE is traumatized, fractured, fucked up, and needs teal's method to help them. How do you know you're fucked up? You can't "positively focus" sometimes. So, yeah, that would be pretty much everybody.

    Within the first few minutes of this thing she glides seamlessly from the "trauma" of being denied a candy bar in the supermarket to what she calls "overabuse" which is what most of would call "actual abuse."

    When Sarbdeep tries to steer the conversation back towards sanity by pointing out that there's a difference between trauma and minor challenge, she bashes him for thinking like an adult and insists that the child's perspective is quite different. Apparently, all children know that being denied a candy bar in the store is traumatic. We just minimize how damaged we were by ever hearing the word "no" because our parents didn't validate our emotional upset and forced us to repress it.

    It's really insulting to people who were actually abused or experienced other trauma to say that it's only marginally worse than being denied a candy bar.

    This is particularly painful to listen to because Sarbdeep has experienced genuine abuse and trauma -- things like fending off his drunken, knife wielding father. He describes a scene that sounds like something out of The Shining, with the father slashing through the cracks in a door that he, his brother, and his mother were struggling to hold closed against him.

  4. Noncast: Inner Children and Candy Bars pt 2

    What Sarbdeep is asking teal for is an explanation of how this process of fracturing would occur in a case like that. Her explanation is needlessly convoluted but that's not even the crazy part. What's really crazy is that she bizarrely concludes that because 5 year old Sarbdeep was helping his mother keep the door closed, he had already been programmed to protect his mother. This makes absolutely no sense because they were all actively engaged in defending themselves and each other against his abusive, alcoholic father. It's not like the mother had gone all fetal in the corner while her small children were doing all the heavy lifting. But as per teal, the fact that Sarbdeep had to act at all in that moment means he was being forced to repress his emotional reaction and implies that it was the mother's fault. Because, you know, everything is our parents' fault, whether or they're given to "overabuse" or not. The problem, as per teal, is that because he was taking action at that point, rather than stopping and feeling everything, this is what causes this fracturing.

    Of course the fact that shock allows us to disconnect from some of our emotions in crisis and take the necessary steps to ensure survival, is why our bodies have evolved with these mechanisms. One assumes that those who didn't dissociate from the emotions, and even physical pain, so they could take life-saving action were genetic dead-ends. Many people who've been through life-threatening experiences describe a kind of hyper-alert, surreality, in which they act without even thinking. Something else takes over. These survival instincts serve us. It can become a problem if we don't put the pieces back together after the threat has passed. And people who grow up in patterns of abuse can become overly reliant on defensive patterns and have difficulty shedding them when they no longer serve. But the body's wisdom in shutting down unnecessary processes -- physical and emotional -- when we're in survival-type situations is pretty solid.

    She also interrupts him in the middle of this tragic story to say that we "have the capability" of remembering everything, back to the womb. (Source? Reference? Relevance?) The reason we don't remember our childhoods in full technicolor all the time is that we "suppress" it, according to teal. There are two problems with this bold assertion. The first is that up to the age of 3 or 4, we are preverbal, and experience what's called "infantile amnesia." Those memories are cognized differently. The second is that throughout our lives we remember selectively so that we don't go mad from overwhelm. Our brains filter constantly and by necessity. Otherwise it would be a little like trying to write an email or read an article on your computer with all the windows open and every process running. People with eidetic memory complain of being overwhelmed and remembering things they'd rather forget. I had one friend who used to say that she wished she could hit the delete button and clear some space on her internal hard drive. But teal seems to have an eidetic memory for every perceived slight she's ever experienced -- facts, sources, the meaning of words, other people's needs and feelings, not so much.

  5. Noncast: Inner Children and Candy Bars pt 3

    Where this really gets strange is when she starts referring to inner child work as time travel. Because there's no such thing as time, bear with me, if we go back in time, we can cure cancer. But the problem, bear with me, that people have had with time travel "in the past" is that they think they need to go back and fix things. That's a judgment. We just need to go back and love them and then they're healed and every bad thing that grew from that bad thing -- say, being denied a candy bar -- will just disappear.

    Silly me. I thought the problem people in the past had with time travel was that we still hadn't invented time travel -- and still haven't -- and that it was entirely theoretical.

    At one point she just glibly announces that "scientists in the future" will do something or other. So, apparently, teal has mastered time travel? Where's her Nobel? Of course she does haven an IQ of 170. Fuck Stephen Hawking, man.

    A little reminder from my husband: This is the woman who a week before was deriding people for living in the fantasy world of role-playing games.

    I'm not discounting the potential for cracking the mystery of time travel. Nor am I disagreeing that time, space, and location are an illusory construct. But dealing with our memories and bringing our attention to past events is not time travel!!!

    Here is my recommendation. If you want to learn about inner child work there are many good sources, but you might want to go back to the fountainhead: John Bradshaw. He has his critics for sure. There are things to fairly criticize, but his work is cogent and informed by a coherent process. It is also, in my experience, quite effective.

    If you want to learn about soul retrieval, look to core shamanism. A very user friendly process was distilled and codified by Michael Harner, an anthropologist who did field work with a number of indigenous cultures. Read Sandra Ingerman's Soul Retrieval and/or listen to any of Christina Pratt's shows on the topic. They can all be found on iTunes. They include a number of interviews with Sandra Ingerman.

    Soul retrieval and inner child work are not, despite assertions in this teacast, the same thing. I repeat: They are not the same thing. Soul loss can occur at any time, whether or not there is soul loss in childhood. Soul parts can also be recovered from past lives. But since teal doesn't believe past life work has any relevance, she won't address that either. The injured inner child that is demanding your attention is, by definition, not a lost part. (It's inner.) It may be missing some parts that should be found in soul retrieval to help that healing process.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Noncast: Inner Children and Candy Bars pt 4

    Shamanic soul retrieval does not assume that every incident of stress or even every incident of trauma results in soul loss. Soul retrieval involves going into the spirit world, with spirit guidance, and finding the soul parts that need to be reintegrated, then letting the soul parts tell you why they left and what they need to stay and reintegrate. I personally have undertaken journeys just to see if there were lost parts that needed to be found from specific incidents in my life and learned that there were none. I've also journeyed and found parts in places and related to incidents and times that never would have occurred to me -- things that were long forgotten and that I'd considered healed and done with. I've also found parts that were deliberately stolen, quietly and with no noticeable stress.

    It's amazing what can happen when you trust in spirit as opposed to human ego -- your own or someone else's. What teal is suggesting seems to me to be completely backwards. It's a rogue cart running away with the horse.

    Neither soul retrieval nor inner child work, requires any understanding -- or misunderstanding -- of quantum mechanics. People have been doing and teaching these things for quite some time without any irrelevant, discursive forays into theoretical physics.

    Neither does repetition compulsion, require convoluted, esoteric explanations. It's a staple of psychotherapy going back to Freud. We repeat things that caused us injury. They become patterns. We are trying to resolve something. See? Simple.

    Have you noticed that Sarbdeep keeps asking questions about relationships in these tea things? Think he might be trying to process something -- like maybe why a child of an abusive, alcoholic father would be married to someone with a pattern of berating and humiliating people. (See: Fallon, Cameron, anyone who's ever asked an uncomfortable question on her Facebook page)

    Anyway, if you really want to understand repetition compulsion within relationships, read Harville Hendrix. Imago therapy. Quite brilliant, I think. And not absurdly convoluted.

    Meanwhile, their relationship dynamics were on full display in this one. It was subtle. There was no real overt conflict here -- mostly because he doesn't really challenge her anymore -- but there were some really telling moments.

    At around the 13:00 minute mark Sarbdeep gives her unabashed adulation for helping him understand what was "missing" from the Oracle of Delphi's maxim. Apparently "Know thyself," requires a lot gobbledygook about quantum physics and a passel of lost, imprinted, inner children... or something... to understand. (I understood it better before.) This reinforcement makes teal just giddy with delight. Then she sticks her fingers in that tea she hates and starts sucking on them provocatively. Get it? Praise teal and you will be rewarded.

    Ewwwwww.....

    Fast forward to around the 19:00 minute market wherein Sarbdeep explains how teal got whacked out on Novocaine and started "channeling" his higher self. This is funny because in the Nova Zem interview posted above she explains that she doesn't channel like mere mortals do. She actually is a higher consciousness being so it's different. But here she's channeling Sarbdeep's higher self because I guess he can't do that himself. And via teal Sarbdeep's higher self explains that his childhood was just fine because it brought him back to "me" which I think means his higher self, not teal, but I'm really not sure.

    So far, so good, until Sarbdeep says starts talking about teal and how she wouldn't be as good at her job without the challenges of her childhood. Watch the body language. Her hands snap to her hips, her jaw becomes tense. She's pissed. And he knows she's pissed but he can't seem to figure out what he's done wrong. And then she changes the subject.

    These were two very uncomfortable moments for us watching this and for very different reasons. Man does she have him trained.

    "
    Reading people you don't know can be pretty challenging, too -- especially if what you're reading is a projected image. The other thing I've noticed where teal is concerned is that a lot of people in this field want to be on her bandwagon because they think it's going somewhere. Yes, psychics are susceptible to hype just like anybody else."

    Yup Bandwagon sounds right to me lol


    Ah ok thanks for the time stamp tip. Here you go, you just have to scroll down to see her comments and then blake's.But if you read some comments before she commented some people were agreeing with him. I like the comment from a girl Dana Dana.

  14. Love the review, I saw the tea cast and i was like again with the inner child stuff ?? I kinda tuned her out lol

    But i am also wondering how Sarbdeep was attracted to someone like Teal he mostly talks about the father but not the mother so much i think? I cant remember if he has mentioned her. Maybe he doesnt talk about her because she might of had those traits that you mentioned above and everyone would know how he got into teals claws. I dont know just speculating lol not talking bad about anyone's mother just trying to see the patterns :D

    I didnt catch the finger sucking but just thinking about it i get the same feeling "Eeewwwww"

    I thought it was ridiculous she supposedly channeled his higher self but he cant do it right? Just her lol

    "Because it lead you back to me" hmmm couldnt tell either if she was trying to imply her under the disguise of his higher self.

    And yes if you saw 2.0 everyone in the world has PTSD because of their childhood so everyone is Fucked lol

    I am interested in soul retrieval, thanks for the suggestions. Do i need a shaman with me?? Or can i do this alone?

  15. Anna, let go of the idea that men marry their mothers and women marry their fathers. It's not that simple.

    "Dr. Hendrix says your 'Imago' is a picture you form in your mind that consolidates all the traits of your primary childhood caretakers, both positive and negative. Your 'Imago' becomes the template by which you select your partner, or 'Imago match,' as an adult for an intimate partnership, he says."

  18. Anna, Harville Hendrix is great. I read him years ago after a break-up. A friend recommended his work to me and I was astounded. It really helped me put things into perspective.

    On soul retrieval, I recommend you read Ingerman. That's a great starting point and can help you decide if it's right for you. You can do soul retrieval for yourself but I recommend going to a shaman, especially if you're not experienced with shamanic journeying. Even when you get comfortable with journeying, it's harder to journey for yourself and soul retrieval takes some skill.

  20. me2yesu: just saw your post.
    thanks for all the links and suggestions.
    to be honest - right now I am pretty lazy.
    I enjoyed the fact that Betrayal is like a red ribbon connecting certain people i am around, certain shows I am watching, certain behavoir I developed from - Betrayal is the core.
    That is enough for me right now. I have no plans to look at it closely or to figure it out or to talk to my 100 betrayed children inside a la Teal.

    I am just fascinated how this was totally undedected by me since my man mentioned it to me and my jaw was dropping. I love to surround myself with people who betray me, I love to watch shows where people get betrayed (survivor etc) I chose a bit more hermit style because of mass betrayals in the past.

    But in this regard i need to acknowledge Teal's statement, that I am the first person who ever betrayed (over stept my own boundaries) myself by not listening to my inner voice and the fear of consequences by refusing to follow directions by parents and other people who are opposed the direction of the inner voice. WHAT A BIG MASSIVE CONFLICT. Still unsolved.

    I am on holidays right now.

I had a healer telling me that my soul is spreaded all over the place and galaxies and that everytime I was freaking out as a child, a young woman or right now, bits fly off and that I should try and remember those moments of shock and tell her so that she can gather me again and stuff the holes (well she chose better words to express this).

    At that specific time I had no interest in going back into all my shocks and losses of brothers, rape and stuff like this and didn't understand why the hell i should open pandora's box and pretty much refused to go diving. And I do not undestand how "the soul" could be ripped into bits in the past and at the same time I am standing here on a cliff and feeling happy and full and untouchable touched.

    It is still mystical to me but I guess it is the same as opening a kindergarden for all the children inside of me as Teal's approach suggests. It might sound stupid but I am here right now. How on earth can I have lost parts of me. I am here! Is this just a mind activity to kill some unhealthy thoughts? Apologies for offending sb with this statement.

  26. GA,
    You are such a magnificent being. I feel honored even though it is from this distance to witness some of your life story and your poem is giving me chills. May you feel the peace of heart's unity.

    I also listened to Liam Scheff. He kind of validated that my issue with vaccines is righteous.

    To do my business of offering comfort and non-medical care and have general liability insurance (which I desire), may need to reinstate my RN license and that takes a "refresher course" that has all kinds of hoops.

    OK, so I will do that hoop jumping if it suits my purpose. BUT IF I need to reinstate my RN license to do what I'd like to do, I am still PISSED about the vaccinations. I have contacted a vaccine lawyer who will help with a letter that has good legalese to try to avoid the vaccines.

    Cannot make peace with BAD vaccines at the moment.

    Actually writing this made me decide to stop thinking about vaccines and deny that there is an issue (hehe). Maybe this is denial is GOOD if it blocks worry so my heart rate gets slow again.

    Ah Teal, may you be blessed.

    Teal: Hi guys.... The site was hacked by someone who REALLY wants me to not be sharing the info I share with the world and they essentially stripped two months worth of content. The hate was directed at me. We figured out with the help of an awesome computer programmer how to use a different host etc. so this doesn't ever happen again. some people love my material, some people really hate it. I'm sorry if any of you ever suffer because of this hatred directed at me.
    love you
    Love

  29. GA, love your dream and thanks again all who post here too.

    At this LV sponsored head space of immoderate sanity. "the space between" extremes (GA said denial and recognition?) is a "good red road". I like reading here and I am curious about the Teal Tribe" drama. The hackers aiming at Teal symbolically struck the "tribe". That is kind of like what many cults imply...everyone is at risk because of the BAD people out to get the GOOD people. More cultish thinking and more and more absurd.

    Teal is so important in her job to "be sharing the info I share with the world", that people are out to get her? People "who love her" may suffer because of hatred directed at her? That from Teal is PARANOIA.

    I happened to read the "denial" blog comments where some responses were questioning her critique of Abraham. IMO the material from Abraham, Bashar and Seth are aligned and valuable for me.Someone named Kiara nailed the issue IMO about how they have a "nonphysical collapse of dual perspectives"

    "As for Abraham promoting ‘denial’ I feel its a very misguided point of view as their teachings are taken out of context without understanding the basic premise of it. Abraham always talk about ‘transcending’ situations not spiralling down into an apparent whirlpool. To seek the next better feeling thought and the next all the time being ok with where we are. To give momentum and to put up a tent and inhabit a negative emotion is also unhealthy as what we are essentially doing is looking at the situation with the same fixed defintion not seeking the value of a vantage point to allow us a new perspective. No matter what situation we ‘create’ for ourselves we can always ask why did I create it? Thats the key to understanding. Personally Abraham has not invalidated any state , they remind us ‘We create our own reality’ so its upto us, we are free to enjoy any version of reality. They simply say they do not want to ‘join’ in on those low vibration trips as negative emotions is simply a seperation from who we truly are, and are a result of us defining a moment that is contridictory to our core. "

    Teal seems to really love having enemies. She needs problems and she needs to be the solution. All massive sickly ego parading around in saris.

  30. Maggie, I can't agree on Abraham. I find him/her divisive, dualistic, and egomaniacal. That they encourage denial is one of the gentler criticisms in my opinion. At the risk of repeating myself, I wrote some of this out here.

    ‘We create our own reality’ so its upto us, we are free to enjoy any version of reality. They simply say they do not want to ‘join’ in on those low vibration trips as negative emotions is simply a seperation from who we truly are, and are a result of us defining a moment that is contridictory to our core."

    Here's the problem: Separation is an illusion. No one is separate from you, nor is any "vibrational" state. They ARE you. Telling people to ask why they created their reality is raising the wrong question. If you can see it, if it's your client or student standing in front of you, it's time for you ask yourself what their situation reflects in you. But Abraham/Hicks would have separate yourself from it as if it's not your problem. If you can see it, it's your problem. I have been doing readings and healing work for years. I have never had a client whose situation wasn't a lesson for me, wasn't some little piece of myself that I needed to learn something from. Sometimes the reflections are astounding in their clarity. Sometimes they are things I really don't want to see and they really push my buttons. But if I'm not asking spirit what they are reflecting to me, I'm not good to my clients and I'm no good to myself. That's what healing is: wholeness. They are part of the great oneness that we share. The last thing I want to do is put them over there or put myself above them. It's cruel to them -- especially if they're suffering or ill -- and it would be lying to myself. Because they are me and I am them.

    "Teal seems to really love having enemies. She needs problems and she needs to be the solution."

  34. Hi LV,
    I read your post you inked. I am interested in understanding your POV.
    You said:
    " I find him/her divisive, dualistic, and egomaniacal. That they encourage denial is one of the gentler criticisms in my opinion."

    I did read your post. My understanding of Abraham is that the idea is we are PRIMARILY vibrational beings. Then we translate the vibrations as physical type experiences.

    The energetic precedes the experience and I see how that works personally.

    So yesterday, I encountered an irritable man at the community garden. he was complaining about how some allotements were all weedy and that people had "gardens" where they planted all "wrong".

    I just went to a place where I was sure he could not change my own mood. My responses came deliberately from offering my own confidence that I am "OK" with him ranting and he was not a mean terrible person I had to "make realize" anything. I was deliberately feeling kind towards him. It settled him out quick.

    Did I not change my reality? I created a different atmosphere than if i had chosen a different vibration.

    You said:

    ‘"We create our own reality’ so its up to us, we are free to enjoy any version of reality. They simply say they do not want to ‘join’ in on those low vibration trips as negative emotions is simply a seperation from who we truly are, and are a result of us defining a moment that is contridictory to our core."

    YES, why NOT? I choose to live in a kind world so I will choose to feel kind. That is my ability as a person who is not victimized by my reality IMO.

    You said:
    "Here's the problem: Separation is an illusion. No one is separate from you, nor is any "vibrational" state. They ARE you."

    I have the capacity to be snarky critical and realizing that capacity, I did see that man as my own self. But I don't have to act any particular way. That is because I am independent in consciousness and can choose the energy I focus on.

    You said:
    "Telling people to ask why they created their reality is raising the wrong question. If you can see it, if it's your client or student standing in front of you, it's time for you ask yourself what their situation reflects in you."

    Again, I don't have to tell the man anything, just be different. If he had continued his rant, I would just listen and love myself as him. It would not be loving to get into an argument or criticize him in my mind IMO?

    You said:
    "But Abraham/Hicks would have separate yourself from it as if it's not your problem. If you can see it, it's your problem."

    I do not personally agree that Abraham is emphasizing that but I could be mistaken. At any rate, I do know that I have been snarky critical and so have to forgive me and him for that capacity. IMO, that is consciousness and all have the capacity to "go there".

    You said:
    "I have been doing readings and healing work for years. I have never had a client whose situation wasn't a lesson for me, wasn't some little piece of myself that I needed to learn something from. Sometimes the reflections are astounding in their clarity."

    YES, I agree that this whole world will reflect what level of consciousness I have. The good news IMO is that often it could be to show what we value NOW. Then we can act on that value?

    You said:
    "Sometimes they are things I really don't want to see and they really push my buttons. But if I'm not asking spirit what they are reflecting to me, I'm not good to my clients and I'm no good to myself. That's what healing is: wholeness. They are part of the great oneness that we share."

    EXACTLY!

    The FALSE teachers do that and look at how terrible the results are when They hurt others!!

    OK, so if i understand you, when I encounter someone with a problem, it says something to me? I agree but would make the point that what it says about US" is not determined. You and I are the same: powerful!

    The crotchety man I met is me having a bad day. It was my HONOR to feel kindness with him! If i had been as crotchety, we'd increase the level of that energy.

    I believe each of us is here on earth for "master class". We all can thrive by connecting to the "nonphysical" perspective that offers a whole lot more than the old paradigm" IMO.

    I think we are all equally capable of making choices. Change is constant and I do not see us as determined by choice. I see our choices as evidence of our consciousness.

    Maybe in LOA there is a match-up? I am certainly in favor of calling out all leadership offering stupid ideas. It was STUPID and wrong that James Ray offered the dehydration and the death and injury. I dislike that anyone was confused and went to harm.

    But I would go for the "healing" of choosing to follow the stupid leader as the cure. People choosing to pay 10,000 (whatever amount, even a bad penny) to hurt oneself means the people choosing it were dis-empowered by their own lack of self love and regard. To be in such a state of inner disconnection form one's own Divine intelligence is the problem where people follow the leader.

    We are NOT our beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, temporary condition of body, finances, our relationships, our activities etc. We are disconnected by ignorance, believing that the external manifestation is the cause IMO. We can choose to change how we feel and feeling is vibrational energy we emit IMO.

    If I am with you, I can honor that you are in confusion, in pain and in suffering but i can hold a different note. I can choose to see that you are not the state you are acting out on.

    I might feel afraid too of the state and separate from you and say "That is just your problem"? If I have faith that these states are just temporary ones and that everyone is powerful and capable, why would I do that?

    The whole thing is quite subtle and I actually don't understand what is the issue of teachers speaking to this capacity for us to choose differently and not be caught up in appearances? People think that suffering is beneficial and gets them goodies. I say that I disagree that there are worthwhile secondary gains there. I choose that I am powerful and loving and I have not forgotten but want to be conscious of how bad it felt and how i was unable to help from being impoverished.

    That is what I glean from Abraham....



    Here is part of a quote from the blog you referenced....

    "There are people complaining or hurting, whether it's emotionally or physically, if you're not giving them sympathy, which means if you're not giving your undivided attention to their discomfort, then they don't believe that you're there for them. And you've gotta understand, whether you can make them understand or not, that you can't be there for their for their problem and there for their solution at the same time. You've gotta make a choice. You can't be there for their sickness and there for their wellness at the same time. A healer must be there for the wellness."

    So what I believe is WE can be there for the other selves. By showing a different feeling capacity, by seeing one another's beauty, majesty, impermanent states and loving "us" when One meets, that is IMO a cure.

    I may be mistaken? I love you LV! Maggie

  37. Solar activity!!! That explains so much. You know the other day I got a tap from spirit telling me to check the space weather site and I saw that there was an ejection... and then promptly forgot about it. I just looked again and see that there's been a lot more activity of the X-class variety. Thank-you for that little reminder. The energy is keeeraaazy!

  38. Maggie, it's going to take me a little while to hack through some of this and see where the disconnect is. I think we hear the Abraham teachings very differently. I'm no expert. It's just that every time I read something or listen to something of his/hers, it's like what I excerpted on the blog post, and I adamantly disagree with that approach.

    What I hear you saying is something different. I agree that when we encounter someone in a bad mood, we don't need to match their energy. That's just not what I hear Abraham saying. All that vortex shit is just so overwrought. And I don't know how to make myself plainer. When someone says, I'm going to hold this picture of health for you until you embody and stop being sick is cruel... and ineffective. I don't believe in imposing my vision or will on anyone else, or to make what they're experiencing wrong. To me the only wrong thing is forcing your will on somebody else. When we get into this whole high/low vibe shit, that's a value judgment and it's buying into an artificial, dichotometric view, which takes us right out of the awareness of oneness.

    See, right here: "you can't be there for their for their problem and there for their solution at the same time..."

    Yeah, actually you can, by not investing in either -- by simply being there for them -- all of them -- and holding them in love/wholeness. Whether someone continues in their problem or their solution isn't up to me. I can give my opinion, my insight, my presence, and then I have to let it go. It's up to them and unless I let go of my expectations of what they "should" be, I'm positioning myself as the source of their reality and taking their power away. You can ask any of my clients. I never tell them what to do and I never judge them because they don't do what I suggest. Unless someone really poses a threat to someone else, it's not my business.

    I'm just not about judging someone's illness. People are where they need to be for their learning and growth. Their illness or wellness is between them and God as they define God. All I can do is act as a facilitator of energy, make myself an electrical ground until what is disconnected, reconnects and reestablishes its own flow. I can help them connect the dots. And I can't do that if I'm making where they are in the moment wrong. And I can't do it if I'm standing in some imagined future wellness picture. How can I possibly do that and be present? And all healing occurs in the present moment. I need to be right here, right now, fully present for my clients or I have no business being in this field.

    I think there's more to it than that. I think we're actually hardwired to play follow the leader. It's how we evolved: tribal cohesion and following a strong leader mean survival. What Milgram showed, what Zimbardo showed, we all have a tendency to defer to authority. It's something we have to be aware of and make conscious choices about.

    People like James Ray are skilled at finding the weaknesses in powerful people and exploiting them. I listened to all four months of this trial. I listened to the people who survived this incident and long-time students of his. I fell madly in love with them. They are a wonderful and very diverse bunch of people who aspired to growth and healing. He exploited every vulnerability he could suss out -- very deliberately. And then his lawyers did the same. Sickening.

  40. I think I do see where we disconnect.
    Maybe you perceive the Abraham perspective invalidating the present moment or individuals living a life in moments? IMO, to me it lends support FOR power in the present moment. It makes sense to me that we are the "leading edge" in physical of our larger source of consciousness. It seems borne out that as I connect with my inner being consciousness, I am enriched.

    What I have observed is that when people are disconnected from the power of this understanding they focus on materiality of the world as the cause of the situations. We are the cause by our focus and that is shown everyday. To be obsessed with the past causing the problem and other issues is like determinism IMO.

    We are all multidimensional IMO. That means where we focus an application of our energy must be influenced by a perspective...so I don't see Abraham being disrespectful of states but suggesting how to change the perspective to then create a new state.

    IMO, The point of power is in knowing Self as "just having a day". The day will change and in this temporality, may I create the best day possible with what I encounter? That is IMO NOT selfish. It calls for tools. The same tools like "good will" and "forgiveness" when really FELT are happy feelings of peace and soft joy at a moment. We radiate how we really are IMO. What makes my day happy in its peace IMO will be good for others. This may be enlightened self care?

    It isn't that I avoid feeling any particular way, but that I stop being certain this appearance is "my truth". I am not certain that what you feel any moment is your truth? Why should I support what is a transient state when WE will change and are powerful?

    So if I see YOU, I see that you have that power of being "greater than appearance" because when I see "ME" I choose to see myself as able to choose.

    What I am appreciating works for me and with what I encounter. That I are in life is just a part of a role, that is how life gives feedback. IMO it is important that when we have anything "happen", it brings something useful and does not exclude feeling raunchy BUT NOT PERMANENT.

    The only value of suffering IMO is suggesting change out of the state I am now having. Plenty of evidence is available for the "good". IMO, if anyone can change anything, we all may do it. So I look to those who have demonstrated "feeling GOOD" being not only possible but probable as more wise than those stuck in misery. Abraham does help me that way.

    NUFF said from me. You can respond if you wnat? Doesn't matter thoughas I respect your position as equally valid. I respect that this is all is borne out by its workings for us....

    "for entering none of you is whole"...the rest is from remedy as depicted by his philosphical school.

    LV suggested " I think we're actually hardwired to play follow the leader. It's how we evolved: tribal cohesion and following a strong leader mean survival."

    My thought is that we may be hard wired for habit. Socializing habituates the heierarchy and duality and "suffering". We come in with qualities as we know because children have "personality" from the first moment. It has been suggested that the natal chart suggests this template? Some have said the natal astrology depicts "where one left off" a different life experience or sets off in this one? Perhaps.... but where we end up is not determined except maybe by the intention of "greater being" which has a teleology?

    Perhaps we are not whole and perhaps we have a "natal" character? But I have taken on the idea that in the 21st century, we are PERHAPS seeking consciousness?

    Maybe our new paradigm is to become a whole by taking in a larger dimensional perspective which means in a body we access our totality of "will"? This totality cannot be the various aspects or states because these are never whole? Who is whole in us?

    That we can change even seemingly unchangeable aspects by ourselves (like incurable disease) is evidenced by science on the cutting edge like Joe Dispenza. Demonstrating creating a new body experience is through overturning the habit of mind. One needs to have a faith in it to start.

    One cannot do this 'within" the old mind pattern so there must be some way to step "outside" IMO?

    "Since we are wired to create habits, why not make true greatness, compassion, genius, ingenuity, empowerment, love, awareness, generosity, healing, quantum manifestation, or divinity our new habits? To remove the layers of personal emotions we decided to memorize as our identity; to shed our selfish limitations that we have given such power to; to abandon false beliefs and perceptions about the nature of reality and self; to overcome our neural habituations of destructive traits that repeatedly undermine our evolution; and to relinquish the attitudes that have kept us from knowing who we really are . . . are all part of finding the true self.

    There is an aspect of the self that is a benevolent being who waits behind all of those veils. This is who we are when we are not feeling threatened; fearing loss; trying to please everyone; racing to succeed and scrambling to get to the top at any cost; regretting the past; or feeling inferior, hopeless, desperate, or greedy, just to name a few. When we overcome, and remove whatever stands in the way of our infinite power and self, we are demonstrating a noble deed, not only for ourselves but for all of humanity.

    So the greatest habit you will ever break is the habit of being yourself, and the greatest habit you will ever create is the habit of expressing the divine through you. That is when you inhabit your true nature and identity. It is to inhabit self."

  44. I was just quoting Joe Dispenza form here http://www.healyourlife.com/how-to-find-your-true-self

    My expectation is that IF one develops the intention to see oneself as source sees itself, one will honor the flexibility and malleability and the sovereign state of individual withing whole.

    Dr. Joe says in the same article

    "So where and how do we find our true self? Do we create a persona that is shaped by associations with the outer environment, which perpetrates the lie? Or do we identify with something within us that is as real as everything outside us, and create a unique identity, which has awareness and a mind that we can emulate?

    That’s right—it is that infinite resource of information and intelligence, personal and universal, that is intrinsic to all human beings. It is an energetic consciousness that is filled with such coherence that when it moves through us, we can only call it love. When the door opens, its frequency carries such vital information that it changes who we are from within."

    So to love oneself so much that one will stop being driven by the herd looks selfish but is the point of individuation within wholeness. I think narcissm is the opposite of this internal quest and is a person completely separated from "the inner divine" so the person seeks perfect copies of reflections dimly viewed from a blind heart. The deep dark "emotions" are the driving points to regain wholeness. here is Dr. Joe again:

    "Hence, I want to emphasize that anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, guilt, pain, worry, and sadness—the emotions regularly expressed by billions of people—are why the masses live life knocked out of balance and altered from the true self. And maybe the supposed altered states of consciousness achieved in meditation during true mystical moments are actually “natural” human states of consciousness that we should strive to live by on a regular basis. I accept that contention as my truth.

    It’s time to wake up and to be the living example of the truth. It’s not enough to espouse these understandings; it’s time to live them, demonstrate them, and be “at cause” in all areas of our lives. When you and I “in-body” such ideals as truth, and make it a habit, then it innately becomes part of us."

  45. These are great words and such habits should be cultivated, but realistically, to achieve this on the global level and maintain such habits, considering the present state of affairs, would require lots of effort, work, education, self-discipline, etc etc....a whole new society. This will take time and it won't be easy. But what an accomplishment it can be!

  46. Here's the thing, though, Maggie. A lot of what you're describing, in terms of human potential, sounds a lot like what James Ray was saying. This is what I mean when I say they were pursuing lofty aspirations. Foolishly submitting to authority isn't something most of us set out to do and sometimes we do it under the guise of taking the road less traveled. This is why I think really looking at the sweat lodge debacle, and the Milgram experiment, and the Stanford Prison Experiment, and Jonestown, and so, and so on... this is why I think it's so important. This is something we need to know about ourselves so that we can guard against that basic tendency. There were subjects in the Milgram experiment who wrote thank-you letters years later because of what they learned about themselves and their vulnerability to authority in that experiment. We need to know, as humans we can be hypnotized by power and charisma, that a lab coat and clip board can turn us into nodding idiots, that we're vulnerable to handing our power over on a plate. It's when we're in denial about that that it gets relegated to the shadow and it can really do us in. We can even end up dead.

  47. People who trust themselves are not in the risk of being taken in.....Growing up as a child of a narcissist I did not have self trust. Perhaps others have had something similar? The problem is that a real human potential we “aspire to demonstrate” but do not feel we own is used by narcissists.

    "THE 3 TYPES OF POTENTIAL VICTIM

    1)     A potential. A potential is someone who the narcissist has attracted into their world, and must be assessed for exploitation and utility value. Narcissists view everyone only in terms of what value or use does that person have for them.
    People with a strong sense of self and boundaries are of limited use to the narcissist......In terms of viewing narcissists from the context of business organisations, and from spiritual and self help groups, ….... curious seekers of healing and spiritual insight often are the primary source of “potentials”.
    2)     A follower. A follower is someone who has been groomed, seduced or manipulated into the reality of the narcissist, and will be supportive but not slavish to the narcissist. Narcissists work on these persons as they cannot trust another’s independence and free will in areas of concern to them. This level is in an enmeshed or deceived state but as a person is still a separate functioning identity. The person still has a separate operative identity but the narcissist has already started gaining leverage by overturning held beliefs, values, attitudes, and sympathies which are of importance to the narcissist. They have been able to gain a degree of trust and acceptance, and a degree of rapport has been established. The narcissist from their side will have already have identified the strengths and weaknesses of this person, and have commenced the seduction of the person deeper into the reality of the narcissist. This may be a “loyal” co-worker and friend or boss in an organisation, or a regular, committed member of some spiritual or self development group.
    3)     “Sidekicks” or blindly loyal pawns. This inner most trusted group are co-dependently engaged with the narcissist, and are overly-loyal, compliant, passive, and unaware they are no longer operating from conscious free-will in areas of concern to the narcissist. They put up with whatever treatment is meted out and will collusively abuse with the narcissist out of acts of demonstrated “loyalty”. They are under some form of emotional and/or mind control by the narcissist. They act for the narcissist when summoned and are often used in organisational politics, rumour and disinformation campaigns, and in both groups and organisations to carry out acts on behalf of the narcissist that could see them come under legal or ethical sanction. The narcissist will establish a degree of separation from the “sidekick” such that if ever caught, the narcissist will disown them to their own fate. The person normally has low self esteem, has a history of putting themselves second to others needs, may be a “caretaker” personality, or only feels loved, understood, supported or important when in the company of the narcissist." http://www.energeticsinstitute.com.au/page/narcissistic_group_dynamics.html

  49. Anyone can be taken in. Anyone. It's not just about self trust. It's about trusting your instincts to the point that you're willing to fly in the face of all social convention. I think our submissiveness is nature and nurture but there's no getting around the fact that our entire social structure is set up to make us submissive to authority. Our educational system is entirely reliant on children being deferential and going against their instincts and intuition. And then our jobs take over.

    In Gift of Fear, Gavin de Becker explains that all these women who barely survived life-threatening assaults knew something wasn't right but second-guessed their instincts. Why? Because they didn't want to be rude. That's how we're acculturated, particularly women, from day one. We're taught not to think ill of people just because they make the hairs on the backs of our necks stand up. We're taught to be polite instead.

    It's not just abusive parents who do this. It's the very unusual parent who actually teaches their children to question authority and to trust their instincts when they don't like somebody, even a teacher. We're those parents. There've been many meetings with school staff as a result. And even though that's the case, even though we've raised our daughter that way, she's STILL way to intimidated by authority figures. It's what society expects of her and she knows it.

  51. Anyone has the potential to be taken in. Sure, but then one can learn to stop. I do not believe it is permanent because I believe I am no longer in that mode. And I was a nurse and I was a bookworm...the worst herding combination imaginable.

    "Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the bookworm. Hence, the book-learned class, who value books, as such; not as related to nature and the human constitution, but as making a sort of Third Estate with the world and the soul. Hence, the restorers of readings, the emendators, the bibliomaniacs of all degrees.

    Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul. This every man is entitled to; this every man contains within him, although, in almost all men, obstructed, and as yet unborn. The soul active sees absolute truth; and utters truth, or creates. In this action, it is genius; not the privilege of here and there a favorite, but the sound estate of every man. In its essence, it is progressive. The book, the college, the school of art, the institution of any kind, stop with some past utterance of genius. This is good, say they, — let us hold by this. They pin me down. They look backward and not forward. But genius looks forward: the eyes of man are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates. Whatever talents may be, if the man create not, the pure efflux of the Deity is not his; — cinders and smoke there may be, but not yet flame. There are creative manners, there are creative actions, and creative words; manners, actions, words, that is, indicative of no custom or authority, but springing spontaneous from the mind's own sense of good and fair.

    On the other part, instead of being its own seer, let it receive from another mind its truth, though it were in torrents of light, without periods of solitude, inquest, and self-recovery, and a fatal disservice is done. Genius is always sufficiently the enemy of genius by over influence. The literature of every nation bear me witness. The English dramatic poets have Shakspearized now for two hundred years.

  52. People who don't read, though, don't have much to hone their critical thinking skills. And critical thinking is one of the best defenses against fraud. Reading Emerson is one of your better intellectual armaments.

    " For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure. And therefore a man must know how to estimate a sour face. The by-standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend's parlour. If this aversation had its origin in contempt and resistance like his own, he might well go home with a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and a newspaper directs. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate and the college. It is easy enough for a firm man who knows the world to brook the rage of the cultivated classes. Their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid as being very vulnerable themselves. But when to their feminine rage the indignation of the people is added, when the ignorant and the poor are aroused, when the unintelligent brute force that lies at the bottom of society is made to growl and mow, it needs the habit of magnanimity and religion to treat it godlike as a trifle of no concernment."

    http://www.vcu.edu/engweb/eng372/selfrel.htm

    "Anyone has the potential to be taken in. Sure, but then one can learn to stop. I do not believe it is permanent because I believe I am no longer in that mode."

    Well, yeah. If there weren't I would have stopped talking about this issue ages ago. But where we fail is in thinking we're not vulnerable to cult leaders, toxic gurus, statist leaders, and con artists. It's the people who don't think they can be snowed, the smart people, who are the most vulnerable. The people who fair the best are those of us who've already been taken in once or twice and recognize the dangers when they come again.

    Here's a funny story: One time I ran into a drug store to pick up some necessary thing. I can't remember what. It was supposed to be a quick trip. I had my family waiting in the car. I get to the register and there's a line forming. The checkout girl is taking care of a customer, but when I say taking care of her, I mean she's answering this woman's every conceivable make-up question and taking out testers, and helping this woman sample different colors and counseling her on her skin tones... You get the idea. So this group of people is standing there just staring at this, fidgeting, sighing, and looking helpless. I said, to the checkout girl, "Perhaps it would be a good idea to ring the rest of us out. I'm sure this woman will wait." (I used to work retail. It was common sense.) The girl stared at me, blinked a few times, and said, um, sure.

    The other people in the line were just so relieved. Some of them looked at me and mouthed, "Thank you." And I'm thinking, everyone of them knew this was fucked up but none of them could bring themselves to say a word. Just too cowed, too afraid of appearing rude, too afraid of rocking the boat. Fuck that.

  53. My whole experience with Teal doesn't hurt me anymore.
    it feels like there is no pain and no remedy left.
    it also feels like that the job is done and the hobby is fullfilled.
    I also notice that there is no drive to demystify nor clarify anymore.
    I don't need to proof to me anymore that Teal is something...
    I don't need to name her anymore nor to call her out
    I don't feel the need to be at service to expose.

    It feels like that the idea of Teal is like a neutral brick in my house, not part the altar or cellar walls anymore, no extreme perception in any way.

    I guess I stept by accident on a hidden reset button.

  59. Wait, what? Lady Gaga is a tool of Satan or something... I... uh... what? Katy Perry is an indigo and a lightworker but Lady Gaga, well... whatever...

    So that doesn't answer it for me. She says she spent two weeks in LA and hated it but we don't know when that was do we? Se likes the entire coastline other than LA. She still wants to live in Santa Barbara I think. I just don't think she does well with big cities, which LA is. It's sprawling and doesn't feel like a city in some ways but it's definitely a city and you see some ugly shit. I've never been to Santa Barbara but I hear it's lovely. I know she was quite taken with Carlsbad when she went to her meeting at Hay House. Carlsbad is adorable.

  61. Well i know it is not clear but if you look at the recording date of interview and compare with her "we lost the house" post, it is very likely that she had a change of heart.

    anyway for now I take this as a leading thought for the mysterious not-move

  62. "People who don't read, though, don't have much to hone their critical thinking skills."

    So true, but I can see how reading can be dangerous too. Guess it depends on what you read and HOW you read. Reading without thinking about what you are reading, without reflection, discernment, analyzing the ideas presented is not only useless, it can be harmful, I think.
    But it is so enriching for me personally. When I am totally immersed in a book, it's like I get to live in those circumstances, or in those times...but most importantly it helps me to understand other people better, because I feel like I'm walking in those shoes. Really broadens my own perspective. And my knowledge too, on various things. And I just love to taste and savor the beauty of some writings, to pause and contemplate...It becomes like spiritual practice, with a meditative approach.
    And if I read something which deeply affects me, which feels so beautiful and true, it increases the desire too seek a realm where all that is lovely and unspoilt may be found. It can activate my soul, it inspires me to act with more awareness, to resolve to govern my actions in the light of new understanding.

    If anything, being a bookworm has prevented me from herding on many occasions. As for nursing, when I was getting my RN degree here in Toronto some years ago, there was quite an emphasis on honing our critical thinking skills, independent problem solving, making accurate assessments, questioning medical diagnosis, investigating the correct use of treatment modalities. Of course, it was all well in theory and once in the hospital, overworked, understaffed, it was harder to put it nicely in practice at all times. That's why I went into community health.

  64. My memory of the failed move was that it all happened over the course of a week. She was all about the move. The next week I expected the teacast to be from somewhere else and but it wasn't and there was the crazy story about driving there, losing the house they were going to rent and then driving all the way back. And I know Sarbs said something at some point about intending to move there. The house in Utah was up for sale but it was taken off the market.

  66. It definitely depends on what you read, Elena. But I really believe that reading is fun for mentals... or fundamental... or something. What I learned from my years in publishing is that people don't read Well, Americans don't read. The book market is very small and localized around major cities.

    Our educational system really suffers in terms of critical thinking. Mostly, it teaches obedience. I was raised by critical thinkers and then I studied communciations and rhetoric in college and that forced me to think much more critically. But, in general, it's a dying art in this country. We're a nation of sheep.

    And I'm with you on reading. I'm very picky about what books I'll invest my time in but a good book is like nothing else in the world. I'm reading the Song of Ice and Fire right now (Game of Thrones) and man are these books hard to put down. There's nothing like that tension between not wanting to put a book down but not wanting to be finish it either. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself until the sixth book comes out.

Anyway, a few minutes in, and she is having a good time fucking with his brain. So this time teal implies, that for those advanced aliens we, humans, are no more significant than, say, parasitic one-celled protozoa . Yet, I've heard her say so many times, that humans are such incredible, fascinating species to watch...and us being such powerful creators (or destroyers), capable of great potential, rich with emotions, etc., yet not realized fully, and how so many higher consciousness entities are curious about our progress, and how important it is for us to shift and evolve, for all the Universe's sake...But, at the same time, we are just like ants from the vintage point of Teal in this podcast ( very disfunctional ants I might add)...Ok, enough watching for now.

  82. fucking with his brain hahahah
    yes sarbdeep was all over the place, giggling a lot, loosing his focus.
    still - i think this was the most relaxed video, i mean, nobody threatened to end the relationship, nobody need to hold tight onto the chair, nobody was accused of having a stick up the ass for being so private, nobody looked too serious.

    For that reasons I really enjoyed it. Yes Prince Sarbdeep, I do love his energy. There is something very honest about him and sweet which I adore in every person when I can spot it. And i love people who share MY taste hahahahah of clothing. Sorry I am so ignorant.That's all.

  100. Or...closer to home, a classic Celtic Triple deity Brighid (exalted one) from Irish mythology. Brighid is considered the patroness of poetry, smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other livestock, sacred wells, serpents (in Scotland) and the arrival of early spring.
    She is the goddess of all things perceived to be of relatively high dimensions such as high-rising flames, highlands, hill-forts and upland areas; and of activities and states conceived as psychologically lofty and elevated, such as wisdom, excellence, perfection, high intelligence, poetic eloquence, craftsmanship (especially blacksmithing), healing ability, druidic knowledge and skill in warfare.

  103. "I would posit, though, that the symbolism is far broader than our fear of ourselves and our loved ones being consigned to living death, reduced to our motor impulses. It's a reminder that we already are in a kind of living death, consuming endlessly, numbly wandering shopping malls, dying from the moment of birth. Gilgamesh, for instance, begins as a bored monarch, engaged in mindless, purposeless violence. So the gods give him a companion and together they begin their quest to find meaning in a nonsensical existence. Taken in that light, the zombie archetype is a wake-up call, challenging us to undertake the hero's journey and courageously look death in the eye." LaVaughn

  107. Mystique Wizards, and ZOMBIES, and STINKY VIBRATIONS... oh my... Does anyone else here think that Mystique Wizard's profile pic looks like it could be a cross between Eddie Munster, Sarbdeep's dad, and Count Dracula??? I'm just saying... He appears to bear a likeness to all things hellish.... Kinda makes sense that he would also be a defender of TEAL, QUEEN of psychic vampires and LEADER of the new age zombies.... huh

  108. I tried to watch the Tea cast. I read the comments.

    I could not stand it... she is soo boring to me now. Someone asked if Teal is pregnant?

    AWESOME quote LV:

    "I would posit, though, that the symbolism is far broader than our fear of ourselves and our loved ones being consigned to living death, reduced to our motor impulses. It's a reminder that we already are in a kind of living death, consuming endlessly, numbly wandering shopping malls, dying from the moment of birth. Gilgamesh, for instance, begins as a bored monarch, engaged in mindless, purposeless violence. So the gods give him a companion and together they begin their quest to find meaning in a nonsensical existence. Taken in that light, the zombie archetype is a wake-up call, challenging us to undertake the hero's journey and courageously look death in the eye." LaVaughn

    I will share my true story of my own secret name that I have had since 1978. When someone else became "Golden Angel Eagle Wind Sun". I became and still am "Miss Earthworm Bee". All of us different beings do have a place in the whole. By the way, there is a hole where there used to be an electric outlet and I forgot to cover the it. So now bumble bees live there. I have a wicker settee that is on that wall. Last night when I sat on the porch and had my secret ritual for my Earthworms Beeingness...(smoke my hand rolled organic American spirit tobacco and drink tea...a lovely ritual all seasons, even when raining, snowing etc...), the bumble bees were cooing in their house. They have sweet sounds that seem very much like purring frogs?? I was watching the fire flies that are everywhere, feeling the mist that may be the veil and I was so happy i could have died then.

    The bumble bees said "Forget about everything outside. We are HOME." I agree. I send the love from the underground here at Firefly farm.

  109. LaVaughn I've thoroughly enjoyed your posts on Teal so far. I've also really enjoyed reading through the majority of these thought provoking comments. You don't have the whole picture yet in my opinion about why exactly TEAL gives you extremely dark vibes... BUT that's okay... The important thing for me is that you listened to your instincts and had the courage to speak up when you knew something smelled rotten in Denmark. Everything comes to light in due time. It's amazing to me how few people are able to even do what you did in recognizing how dark TEAL actually is... TEAL is NOT an Arcturian. At least not anymore. I believe her body is being prostituted out by the dark forces. Listen to how Teal described Lady Gaga. It was very telling if you know what to look for. TEAL is just the Lady Gaga of the Spiritual movement. She is just another Mk Ultra mind controlled pawn hiding in plain sight, being used by the Illuminati to promote destructive ideologies in order to create confusion in the masses of the NEW AGE movement during this critical time of ascension. Her teachings seek to keep people engaging in the 3rd dimensional reality of polarity. Teal has been chosen to move into the main stream as a branded new age icon which was signified by her being assigned her new handler SARBDEEP... He was MADONNA's handler for years while she was the Illuminati's high priestess in the pop culture media.... Sarbdeep was in politics first where he was groomed to be a handler... People don't understand how the Illuminati system works yet... The majority of people still think it's only conspiracy theory nonsense. They don't yet understand how widespread it is...It is everywhere. Corporations, Government, Media. It is hiding in plain site. TRUST that anything sanctioned, published, and mainstream in the media and/or pop culture is no accident... Nor is it the result of talent, or accurate information... It is part of a sinister agenda to promote disinformation and keep people confused, distracted, and in the dark from waking up to their true nature. Hence, we have someone like TEAL busting out onto the scene with her spiritual disinformation and power/fame mongering propaganda. IMO, Teal is not just repulsed by Lady Gaga, she appears to be Jealous of her.

  110. Neutrality Ascends what?
    Sarbdeep a dark handler... i cant pick that up.
    The honest vibe i get from him - I am so sure about it or is it my typical ability to pick up both sides of the stick and my blissful denial rejects the focus on the dark part?!
    is it the job of a handler to "ground" Teal's teachings to make them more appealing to a larger audience? what exactly is the job of the so called "handler"?

    "TEAL is just the Lady Gaga of the Spiritual movement." very interesting thought.

    After writing my diploma on teal in my last class (mentioned above) I come to the conclusion that Teal is a summery of vibes and intentions which are very oppose to each other. That is my only logical explanation of me picking up the brightest of bright and the darkest of dark from her, depending what has the forehand right now. I literally felt schizophrenic because of the many Teals I see but your theory supports that perception. I feel deep love for her (parts of her) and then she also freaks me out with her unbelievable horror of intentions and dominatrix approaches. If you can put on vibe-googles she would like constantly change her colors and summitry of frequencies and would cover the full spectrum of intentions on this planet from + to -

    I watched the last shadow house episode and was impressed by the presence of intelligence, the art with words and clarifying thought processes. However, as said before, going into the shadows need to be buffered by rescue thought concepts. By practicing "Spriituality 2.0" carelessly , it will create a lot of zombies, literally,

    As observed, it is her current self therapy approach and it works for her. but the whole bang boom bang around it is out of tune, highly overrated and highly underestimated with potential consequences for the mass audience of all kinds of current levels (ops onion layers of course)

    Sarbdeep looked like a cranky little bored boy. interesting to see. no prince in the room that night.
    handler?!
    gosh - how

    I meet with two or three friends every week to talk about our lives. We have been doing this for three years now. We have passed through various phases. My phase of being consumed by the Archons, the MK Ultra, the Illuminati mind plan etc. came and went.

    The three of us are now all understanding something for ourselves that indicates that there is a huge realm of the collective mind (let us call it 4th dimension" where thoughts are all hanging out as elementals). The "thing" about being caught in that realm is that the whole collective mind is fracturing more and more and may well be "controlled". There is the extreme polarizing, the fraught battles for and against, the fearful ideation that causes us to cringe.

    In a "place" of change, one can begin to recognize one's own responsibility to choose to think for oneself. But what to base that on? One can notice how what one dwells on proliferates (see Robert Anton Wilson's "Cosmic Trigger" about his experiences).

    One can appreciate the fact that for every mental concept, there will be equal support that seems to have evidence "against" that concept.

    All this "Thought in the field of the collective" is like a band of miasm now...pollution galore. The complexity is growing all the time as we add more and more "perspectives" based on revealed "concepts".

    It may be the extreme of the modern dependence on this approach to information needing conscious observation?? At the same time we can't readily see what is true when "researching" based on others' conclusions.

    Some are becoming overwhelmed in sorting out complicated splintering ideas...others are becoming more dogmatic as fundamentalsits who would even kill in the name of an idea.

    When one moves to the heart mind, one can develop a clair-cognicence. This is very local and NOW and individual. Yesterday my friends and I shared what is happening lately for us.

    We are saying to ourselves more and more "I don't know" and feeling comfortable feeling into how we respond physically. Does something feel good or cause tightening and cringing?

    It is like the more and more we don't try to figure things out but deal with things moment by moment, strangely satisfying inspiration appears in a series of "movement" that leads to magical. One friend had property that she was inspired to seek help selling, by asking a local business leader "What are people interested in?" and HE just bought it yesterday.

    I have been feeling caught about wanting to start a business and it has hit a wall because "I don't know" what to do about a seeming path that involves being vaccinated to then reinstate my RN license to then get insurance to then do the business....All that FEELS bad.

    BUT I am also realizing I love Joe Dispenza's work, that it is right up my "faith" ally so will go to his workshop in Colarado in two weeks. Also, I look back and see where the latest source of my "Current see" arrived when I relaxed BEFORE. I felt good then thinking about the business plan and the other OK, I could DO nursing.

    That relaxation is allowing my energy bubble to be more expansive. I know there is something to this "RELAX" . continued....

    ReplyDelete
  112. continued....

    I sincerely believe consciousness is growing within us for a practical purpose that takes us beyond dual mental wrestling. We can ignore sorting for "meaning" in an objective sense and go for personal meaningfulness. It is a MYthic state of relating to a "world" of appearance.

    If an "idea" arrives with a feeling of "this is GOOD", I can feel my heart opening. If I push ideas that FEEL awful, I am cutting off the "heart" energy and it is physically THERE as a contraction.

    Teal has felt bad to me based on my own experiences. I found my self commenting here as I was looking for what was "feeling wrong there". I think I agree with your take on a source using "her" and she cooperates as she has her own agenda.

    However my point is that if this "collective mind" has no good will for me, I can completely circumvent its hold when I am in touch with my own guidance system. I see it working out for me.

    I became very angry not so long ago and felt in a void. But I NOW see the feeling comfortable in my own "I do not know" is that recent. Now, I think I can listen and respond moment by moment to what "ideas" feel good as a next focus.

    I am seeing that IF we only register information "later" as shown scientifically by experimentation, the "mental" piecing together happens AFTEr the fact. Who is instigating the "what i recognize later". LV referenced instinct. I think this "instinct" IS from the larger context and is felt in the heart as opening and in the body as relaxing. Following that immunizes, straightens our path of joy (soft and yummy in the body) and will keep us from being the pawn in these mental realm games.

    Maybe there is no ascension but INCENSION into our own self knowing (a relationship with a real consciousness sentience FOR us) that we can use in daily life that comes way before any translated thoughts we must defend against like Illuminati mind control? Go to ground of being. I am certain so far so good here....

  113. you know LV... I will give you credit with one thing: The Universe loves us all, but that doesn`t give you right to stir up tons of offenses, because that shows you are NOT a loving individual. Just like the rest of your "sheeple" who followed your style of answer here. According to all the comments. YOU all are right, accurate and you hold all the answers. I do not pretend to be savvy, or all-knowing- like you do...Yeah, the world is free to think, but your thoughts and desires do not have to invade my own or my beliefs...I can see why this great bunch that follows you (most of you Americans-Go figure! The eternal Superiority complex of your kind)...You do not promote love. you destroy, criticize with ill intent anyone who dares disagree with you and yuor own self-created world of wisdom...You say you have gifts, why not put them to good use? Who are you to pass judgment on others?? I admit my failing, I am still learning...I am not bragging all over the web through blogs saying how perfect, powerful and loving I am...THink about that...And yes... feed on my answer, because that`s what you do... Humility and kindness will never be part of your dictionary...NEVER!!! You`re too busy feeding your ego and so are your followers......Now be my guest...GO ahead and throw the boomerang my way, just make sure you steel yourself when it returns back to you...Because , you my dear...Lack compassion...

  114. Mystique Wizzard do you have compassion for LV and us "sheeple"?

    ReplyDelete
  115. Mystique Wizzard, that's a whole lotta straw men for one little paragraph. I have never claimed to be all-knowing. None of the commenters here have conferred that onto me. In fact, we have discussed many topics on this blog that have given rise minor and major disagreement over viewpoint. So either you're not reading carefully or you're projecting a whole lot... or both. I'm just stating my opinion and giving people room to agree or disagree, including yourself.

    And you know I have not even once claimed that I'm a "new thought leader" -- or any kind of leader -- and I haven't once claimed to explain the meaning of life fifteen minutes, or even to know with any kind of certainty what the meaning of life is. That would be that other person. I also haven't called anyone a tool of Satan as, ahem, someone recently did of Lady Gaga. I've never dragged people into the spotlight to berate and humiliate them and sat idly by while my "fans" continued to humiliate and berate them. I just haven't and wouldn't. So you might want to sit with some of these criticisms you're making of me and give those ideas a little more care and attention to detail.

  116. NEUTRALITY ASCENDS... This is just a friendly reminder to you that 1-I did not refer to you 2-I did not offend you 3- I did not nor I care how you look like. Your pathetic American sarcasm, in my community is an offense. I suppose if we were face to face you wouldn`t say that to me. NOt out of fear, but out of shame. Because we are digressing here about points of view regarding spirituality, and according to all I have read Not one of you has been loving when commenting. All your comments have been destructive and detrimental..So that`s how loving you all are?? Who are you to pass judgment on my person? I couldn`t care less about how you look like whether you`re female or male...But I would never take your appearance a reason for mockery or offence...Anyway... By reading all your comments, I can be certain of something: From LV down to the last follower or sympathizer...You do not promote love, you do not act lovingly and despite of all the "superLightworkers" you all feel you are, your attitudes say otherwise. Just think about it. from a detached viewpoint... Thanks anyway for so much insult and mockery and proving to me, once more the reason why MOST of the world, despises America...Because Humility was not present when you were created... Oh I have plenty of True Spiritualist Friends that are American..and they have proved me again and again, they are sincere, honest, humble and compassionate..And many of them do not even swallow Teal...But they do not condemn me for agreeing with some of her teachings...So much for your namesake: "Neutrality Ascends" You are anything but neutral...Take care, much love and light to all...

    But on one interview she did talk about how the cult she was in used trigger words to make people come back to the cult or something like that. And i couldnt help but wonder if she uses something like that now in her Ask-Teals and Tea casts.

  125. I just made some cookies out of oats and bananas.

    That is all just two ingredients but by reading the comments on the site where the idea was posted, I found even better recipes. To this basic I added cocoa,dry tart cherries, coconut oil, some salt, some walnuts, some baking soda. used my food processor and I can't tell you proportions as I just added until it was looking right.

    If I want to get all metaphoric, its like when LV (oats) posted about Teal (banana) and everyone showed up. Salt alone or baking soda is Meh. But when added in, makes something.

    These are the most awesome tasting wonderful moist, chewy cookies. I wish I could give you all some. But you can go here and make some.

  143. I listened to a little of that Shadow House thing. You're right, GA, Sarbdeep looks bored and fidgety. He also looks angry, as he does in the teacast but I'll get to that.

    Meanwhile, astonishing how much resistance she's getting to her 2.0 thing. Or not. Crazy what happens when you tell a lot of LOA people that they might need to get in a room with their darker emotions and be a little uncomfortable. What do you mean I can't be in denial? I like denial. Sleep is where I'm a Viking!

    She's right. That Abraham/Hicks thing is ridiculous. I don't know where they get the idea that kids are so damaged by attention to their trauma. Did they just sleep through the entire priestly sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church? Ask the members of SNAP, ask the survivors, how helpful it is when trauma is minimized or ignored. Ask the people who are pleading for their Church and their communities to acknowledge their pain. The ones who haven't killed themselves or drunk themselves to death, I mean.

    ReplyDelete
  144. I also have to say that they just completely blew past something very important that that psychologist said, that people who have past trauma that they don't remember clearly feel like something is off. He's so right. It's true of people who remember their trauma but haven't addressed it. And it's true of people who experienced trauma in the preverbal stage. They don't have memory memory, but they have emotional memory, and it dogs them. You don't have to drudge everything up but you do have to come present with the emotions that are dogging you and you can't do that if you keep changing the channel.

  145. Ireland is deeply damaged by all the sex abuse in the Catholic Church, the mountains of files is overwhelming, still nobody is talking about it or offering any kind of therapy except horendous drugs and pup alcohol. deeply damaged generation. It was heartbreaking when I was talking to men of all ages and profession, to see them change into a little hurt boy without any answers and loads of confusion and shame and guilt.

    Priest who were accused of and proofen guilty STILL get send to another location instead of charged for.

    Yes LV they brought up a lot of good points and Justin was on fire ( : nice to see. I recommend everybody watching it.

    Hey Kermita I rest my case, miss Piggy is in town and she is beautifully pink as you. I figured we are doing a bit of shadow work and save the marriage. :D

    Yes Mr. Rock rocks, very interesting energy, the female and male so beautifully balanced and present. He even earned an answer by Teal. ( : Don't forget Michael, he still wants to marry you ( ;

  146. ... and in case somebody bothered watching the interview with Lilou and Tom Lescher - I thought that his description of male and female was so clearifying to me.

  147. After watching Lilou an Tom with his female, male approach I was listening to an interview with Daniel Vitalis: "Sacred Sexuality - what's wrong with being open sexuality" with extremhealthradio.

  153. Elena, thanks for posting that video with Fallon's email. I know he's said similar things to other people as well. He seems quite clear at this point that there's a cultish aspect to teal's organization. He was part of a classic cult purge, as was Cameron, and I guess this Victoria person whom I think others have mentioned but I don't know much about. Heck, in the comment he posted here he compared the whole experience to The Master, which is a great movie, if you haven't seen it. The late and lamented Phillip Seymour Hoffman absolutely nails that character that is most definitely not L. Ron Hubbard. (ahem)

    And we all know what Cameron thinks because she's posted her comments here as well. The way these people were treated is beyond shabby. Which is one reason I just can't take all these attacks on me for being so very, very mean seriously at all. Sometimes it feels a little like I'm going after Scientology. Boy do they get aggressive about negative press... and suppressive persons.

  156. Just watching "The Master". LV, Elena sounds similar like GA and H is damn close to the A on the keyboard. My intention was to show an artistically example of denial in action. :D

    I actually did like the video of today a lot after switching off the screen because i got dizzy from the freaking background and teal starring into the camera without a blink for minutes (are all arcturians capable of this - arcturians staaarrrrr) . and pandora's box came up too often now in this one and in shadow house. Seems pandora's box week or they were inspired by my unable to return process.

    LV actually Sarbdeep didn't look kranky but exhausted and I noticed now twice that she subtile turns him into a little boy infront of the pondcast and shadowhouse camera. Did anybody see that or is it my phantasy? Subtile emasculation 1.95

    ReplyDelete
  157. Elena, I, personally, find something very odd about the way teal expresses herself on her abuse. Firstly, I find the entire scenario hard to believe because there is, as of this writing, no evidence of Satanic Ritual Abuse. Ritual abuse, yes. Satanic Ritual Abuse, no. There were many reports, people even went to jail, but many were also exonerated later and therapists were consequenced for creating false memory. A therapist named Barbara Snow, who as near as I can tell is the fountainhead of the whole Mormon Satanist axis thing, took a plea deal of temporary suspension of her license to avoid worse charges. The police caught her out by giving her false information which somehow her clients "remembered" in their therapy. I posted the links in one of these blog posts.

    I know an awful lot of sex abuse survivors. Suppressing it is not conducive to their healing, and many families of abuse survivors, both by family members and not, have tried to bury it. It happened a great deal with the Catholic Church as parents became complicit in protecting the Church at all costs. That's one example. But you know what you don't see with these survivors? They don't revel in recounting the details of their abuse. They may do that in therapy, or in a courtroom, but it's not easy for them. And once they've gotten it out, and they've been heard, they don't want to talk about the details anymore. Reliving it over and over is not comfortable. PTS causes people to relive but it's excruciating. That's what you're trying to heal from. Like most things, we heal from telling our story, being heard, so that we can then move forward. The moving forward for a sex abuse survivor is very difficult in many cases, but this constant retelling is not the norm. I've read that it is more common with false memory syndrome. I think it's in The Myth of Repressed Memory, that it's the only time you see people revel the details and tell them over and over. I know there's some controversy around that book and I don't think she completely proved her case that there's no such thing as repressed memory, but she makes a strong case for the creative function of memory and that a lot of the repressed memory theory doesn't hold water. Why on earth would buried memories be any clearer than things we haven't buried? And no one's memory is perfect on the things they remember, but that's what Bass and Davis claim.

    So what I find odd about teal is that she keeps giving these graphic recountings and without much emotion. That's not what you see with sex abuse survivors recounting real things that have occurred, not in my experience. It's still very difficult to talk about the details even when they have a lot healing around it. And when they're really at peace, they don't want to talk about the details at all. They're done.

  158. I don't think you're imagining it, GA. I think she infantalizes Sarbdeep and I will have more to say on that subject. But what did Fallon say in that email? That she likes men she can control. He would know now wouldn't he.

    Which video are you talking about, the staring thing, I mean. I watched a little of that Shadow House -- as much as I could stand -- but I'm quite sure I didn't like it as much as you did. I think most of it and most of her 2.0 thing are codswallop. And her promises on 3.0 are outrageous. But on that one discrete point we agree. Suppressing uncomfortable emotion is foolish, even dangerous. Teaching willful denial as spiritual practice is a bad idea.

  161. I deleted my last comment because I noticed that it was repeating already old stories and I moved on from my tealish research.

    And interestingly enough I just got hit by a gorgeous missing puzzle piece of my previous opening of pandora's box. If the GDR is not a great example for mass betrayal of hardcore manipulated people and the shock of realizing it... no wonder I have betrayal manifesting all along my childhood. I mean, in which country are you forced to paint soldiers in the kindergarden and get steroids in preswimming school and "We are the people!"-russian-communism-mindfuck, including concepts that all people who believe in gods are idiots and being motivated by the teachers in preschool to shame and mob the few christian people around.

    I know this info will not change anybody of you guys, nor will it inspire. BUT it is a great example if you give yourself permission to dig in your own cellar, driven by the intention to find the roots of a huge fat horrible thought tree which gives you regulary pain. I do agree with the part of Teal's concept that opening up to cause of a common negative emotion in your life and to go look for it in your childhood years. The only problem with it: how does this knowledge now change anything in the now except having a name for one of many roots? !

  164. oh and the betrayal by the GDR sucessfully deletes any kind of self trust because you are still so gobsmacked how they could play you so hard without you realizing it. I guess that's why I liked the latest Teal video because it focused on one of my puzzle pieces.

  165. Thank YOU LaVaughn and co!!! I have seriously enjoyed reading the commentary here. I can't wait to read your next non-cast. I honestly haven't even been able to bring myself to watch TEAL in all but the first two of her "non- cast tea thingys" but I do enjoy your hilarious and insightful take on her absurdity each week!! I have much respect for you being able to stomach even that much of her material. I feel like I get to see it without having to watch her manipulative reptilian antics on screen.... Teal now makes my skin crawl. Aside from the fact that she seems completely disingenuous as a person and in-congruent in her teachings, I am convinced that she has some serious dark Leviathan energy residing in her. Whatever entity is projecting into her body is HIDEOUS, and I get the strong sense that whatever it is... isn't feminine... Let's just say that David Icke would have a field day with her ass. It honestly became too hard to stomach watching her revel in her power and witnessing her ridiculously, convoluted mind fucks for any length of time.
    I also think it's disgusting to watch how she soul sucks the men in her life.... First Blake her con-artist front man by day, and unrequited lover by night .... Not only is he pathetically co-dependent, but he appears so frail and dead energetically. Who knows how lifeless her poor ex-husband Mark ended up. At least he had sense enough to stay out of the public eye while she no doubt humiliated and emasculated him during and after their marriage.
    Then there was the way she handled Fallon or Jared... Now, he may very well have had a screw or two loose to begin with as GA and the kid in the Youtube video mentioned above, but seeing him go all "one flew over the cuckoos nest" after wrangling with her.... GEEESH I do happen to believe he acted very brainwashed when it came to her... It seemed like she was programming him to protect her...
    Now we have Sarbdeep cow towing to her each week as she increasingly infantilizes and emasculates him while he sits like a good lil well dressed manservant. I imagine he prefers that newlywed bedroom domesticity to honest discourse for now. Either that, or he is actually her handler who keeps her in check while appearing meek and mild mannered thus letting her believe she is in control.... Its definitely difficult to watch though...

    I do think that starting up a Facebook page, a Youtube channel, or even a blog titled something like gvtooker's acronym "TEAL= Totally Evil Alien Lifeform" where people who can still stomach watching her videos could debunk and honestly comment on her videos to help get the word out on this potentially dangerous agent of the DARK LORD.... LOL It would most likely be a full time job just to keep up with all the garbage she churns out weekly though....

    I was born in USSR. I used to adore Lenin! :-D And hated all things German with a passion when growing up.

    Fast forward 20 years and the only two men who have managed to capture my heart are from Germany lol.

    Yeah, if i start to dig and analize all my losses and what not, it can be directly or indirectly linked to my birthplace and that country which is no more, but also so many other things were involved. Everything is so interconnected, if I really go back to the root cause of all my misfortunes, I would have to blame the Big Bang. Booooooo!!!!

    I think pretty much anywhere in the world people can feel betrayed by their governments...The choice is yours: to view yourself as a victim of that for the rest of your life or deal with the effects therapeutically, not supressing them and hopefully move forward. I don't think watching too much youtube is really therapeutic. ;-)

    Do you want to be a socialite? Why force it on yourself? You can still enjoy your own company but have a few people whom you connect with in real life instead of developing one sided "relationships" with internet "teachers". And really appreciate what you have now (your man, your mom, your lovely granny). Some people don't have that. If anything that my travel experiences taught me it's that it could've been much much worse. Try Cambodia during The Khmer Rouge ...

  169. IF something is true, I keep "thinking" that it cannot be contained in a "particular" perception of it (like the proverbial elephant). So, I am in concept able to appreciate that i don't "know the truth", when I look at things. I have pockets where I still absolutely believe that what i see is true. But I also have to say "I don't know anything".

    I appreciate what you are "moving through" GA as you see the story of your life. I appreciate what Elena just said...

    "really appreciate what you have now (your man, your mom, your lovely granny). Some people don't have that. If anything that my travel experiences taught me it's that it could've been much much worse. "

    the very fact that we are able to be "here" writing implies a computer hook up, verbal skills, the freedom to use the former and that we are asking deep questions is IMO the same kind of luxury that is implied when Buddhists say we have a gift in this life time to experience the dharma.



    Verily, that which is Dharma is truth.

    Therefore they say of a man who speaks truth, "He speaks the Dharma,"
    or of a man who speaks the Dharma, "He speaks the Truth."
    Verily, both these things are the same.
    —Brh. Upanishad, 1.4.14[11]

  170. (continued)

    So, in my own life, I keep peeling back layers of my story. I wonder "Do I NEED travel all the way back to the Big Bang to find the source of all missed fortune (given and received)?"

    Yesterday a major "Icon" in my recent life called me. I met him a few years ago and there is some sort of deep bond because I never forget him . In fact the "can't forget" includes s*&t that seems really unfortunate. He triggers in me the kind of crazy insanity that can feel like major psyche meltdown when we hang out even on the phone.

    His representation for me is of someone who is either a saint or a sociopath. YESTERDAY, when he called it was just after I came in touch with a string of emotion... and thoughts that included my history with him. I am still certain I desire to be the creator of a new mind and thus new experience. Yes, I want magic and miracle and the collapse of polarity and the knowing of how to dissolve obstacles to full tilt LIFE.

    That he called when I was in a deep willingness to let go of grief and disappointment supports that we do have psyche connections with people. I see him as a trigger of my attachment to grief and disappointment as in "this relationship makes me SERIOUSLY Raging unhappy" (notice I am talking I am at effect there).

    We have points where we jive...he like I am into making "potions" like DIY laundry detergents and cooking, love systems like aquaponics and permaculture. We have had many episodes that were great. Both of us have been a fan of communal living to make life easier. He is a musician and he is very good with animals and I used to be in lust with him.

    He introduced me to Abraham. He stood to me for a long time as an epitome of successful manifestor. I wanted to have his skill. Example: one day he was sitting at a bus stop talking to me and predicted that within 5 minutes, someone would bring him something. In 3 minutes, a stranger came along and and gave him a bag of new shirts in his size.

    He has many other similar practical applications of the mystical in his life I have seen myself.

    After two years of not talking, he is calling to say he loves me and misses me and wants to be close. My suspicions immediately came in, my history with him, my cold hard protective shell arose. We talked until 5 AM.

    He pointed out something that is so revolutionary that no one in my inner realm has grokked it. Every moment we are planting seeds. I plant seeds with him of "past belief". It is almost impossible at this time to even imagine that this is not necessary. It is hypothetical that I could have a new dream about what he is to me. But I am always "certain" that he is a real character and I am stuck with a need to "deal with his "character".

    He said "You see me through an illusion that you made up and hold onto. You could change that". He said he wants me to know HIM. He said he wants to know ME, not an illusion we made up as us projected back and forth.

    It struck me that I believe he came in last night to speak to this question for my edification..."What "part" of everything that I believe I see as real IS REAL?" The reason I bring this up is that I have poor memory for my life and I saw how my MOM made wholesale stories very different from my truth.

    If we do "see through illusion we create" and it can include all sorts of story about the world...what is REAL?

    This man said "I know love is real and I want to know love when I meet you". Very poetic. I am kind of awed. I recognized that in my story about him, there is no love...just a bunch of reason NOT to feel love. At the same time, it looks so real that he has the qualities and brings out qualities that in retrospect, I want no part of touching again.

    Is this a generalizable recognition? Can I change my mind about this relationship. Can I see past all story to LOVE?

    The thing that always bothers me about these teacasts is that they are never a conversation between equals. Here you have a discussion between a husband and wife about a topic and it's really always about the wife's viewpoint. The husband acts as interviewer, student, fan, foil, and project. I find that disturbing for a host of reasons but not least because, of the two of them, he's the one I can relate to. I may not always agree with him but I find him accessible, open, and interesting. I like that he shares his process of discovery. He talks about his life and how it's informed his spiritual quest. He talks about what he's learned and how he's learned it.

    In one of these things teal talked about how a teacher is a lifelong student and I agree. We shouldn't stop learning 'til we're dead. Probably not even then. But she never comes across as a student. She never talks about her own teachers or process of learning. She's ever the cosmic answer lady. And how she knows these things to be true, we don't know, except that she's an Arcturian Eucharist, whatever the hell that means.

    On the plus side, she actually let him speak this week. For the past couple of these he looked like he'd been reduced to the role of a remora, suctioned onto her shark-like self. But when he does speak in this teacast, she is, once again, a constant source of distraction. In the first couple of minutes, as he tries to set up the topic she cheats to the camera, she giggles, she pokes his widdle cheek, she drinks her tea in that affected, two-fisted manner of hers. (Drives my husband crazy the way she drinks her tea. "How heavy is that cup?" he asks, week after week.) She trivializes everything he says as if wrestling with that fundamental question of the meaning of life is just silly. My husband characterized her attitude thusly: "No, no. You go ahead. You're so adorable in your cute little ethnic dress."

    But when it becomes clear that he is going to get serious despite all that and focus on the topic, she begins to look bored. She heaves a heavy sigh... and then another. At two minutes thirty, she yawns.

    He's also hard to hear over some racket off camera. Is there a pony back there?! I asked. We think it was the dog drinking out of the water bowl, but what I can't figure out is why it was mic'd. Of course they quieted that down once the tealsplaining got underway.

    After all that derision of his question, she becomes the most condescending of Socratic teachers. She asks a series of questions but it's like she's talking to a child. By minute four, frankly, he looks like he's pissed. They both look like they're having a kind of controlled, veiled fight. Maybe it's because when she talks about how humans look like amoebas to some alien species, it's very possible that she means herself -- what with her actually being Arcturian and all. This is the woman who sometimes slips and describes humans as "you" instead of "we."

    Sarbdeep would like teal to address the issue for humans since it's humans who watch these things and, presumably, try to learn something from them. By minute seven he's gone from a tensely held calming mudra to a jiu-jitsu frame. He's cheating up the arm a bit but, man does he have a grip on that arm. Says teal, "And do what, you want me to indulge everyone on the purpose of life."

    So apparently anyone who wrestles with this eternal question is like a child in need of coddling. But she'll "indulge" it for a few minutes, you know for all the silly human amoebas who aren't in touch with their soul's knowing of this obvious thing.

    I can't really imagine anything much more sickening than a self-proclaimed "new thought leader" being posed a question as vast and baffling as the meaning of life and proclaiming that she can sum it up in about ten minutes. But that's exactly what she says. Less than fifteen minutes in, Sarbdeep gets that she thinks she's done but says it's too early to wrap. She's like, See? Easy-peasy. Next time ask me something hard. Now we need to come up with another fifteen minutes of filler.

    Of course she hasn't really answered it. All she's done is torture some well-worn cosmological mythos. Sarbdeep finds her explanation mindblowing but we think they're both confusing cognitive dissonance with expansion. This is what she calls stretching the synapses, but seeing as how synapses don't stretch, we disagree.

    So what is this meaning of life that is so obvious? It's a lot of stuff about how the universe is split. Really everything is split and keeps splitting so that the universe can learn about itself and love itself which it really doesn't yet because how can it? It's not done with all the splitting and coming back around. It has no idea when it will be done. And everything is splitting, universes, many universes that are still inside the universe somehow, laws, principles... How do laws and principles split, we wondered, but then we remembered that time the law of gravity split and half of us floated off into space.

    What she appears to be driving at -- and I really have to be careful here because my husband has pointed out to me that I tend to rescript her babble into ideas with which I'm familiar. Much of what she says sounds like things that come from spiritual teachings with which I'm fairly well versed, so that's what I hear. But my husband has caught me more than once being far too generous because what she's saying, well, isn't that. Much of the time, it's pure nonsense that sounds a little like something somebody else said much better.

    In this case, it sounded to my husband like Alan Watts explaining "God" to a child as put forth in The Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are.

    "Myth, then, is the form in which I try to answer when children ask me those fundamental metaphysical questions which come so readily to their minds: 'Where did the world come from?' 'Why did God make the world?' 'Where was I before I was born?' 'Where do people go when they die?' Again and again I have found that they seem to be satisfied with a simple and very ancient story, which goes something like this:

    'There was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins. Look at my watch, which tells the time; it goes round, and so the world repeats itself again and again. But just as the hour-hand of the watch goes up to twelve and down to six, so, too, there is day and night, waking and sleeping, living and dying, summer and winter. You can't have any one of these without the other, because you wouldn't be able to know what black is unless you had seen it side-by-side with white, or white unless side-by-side with black.

    'In the same way, there are times when the world is, and times when it isn't, for if the world went on and on without rest for ever and ever, it would get horribly tired of itself. It comes and it goes. Now you see it; now you don't. So because it doesn't get tired of itself, it always comes back again after it disappears. It's like your breath: it goes in and out, in and out, and if you try to hold it in all the time you feel terrible. It's also like the game of hide-and-seek, because it's always fun to find new ways of hiding, and to seek for someone who doesn't always hide in the same place.

  173. Noncast: Meaning of Life pt 3

    'God also likes to play hide-and-seek, but because there is nothing outside God, he has no one but himself to play with. But he gets over this difficulty by pretending that he is not himself. This is his way of hiding from himself. He pretends that he is you and I and all the people in the world, all the animals, all the plants, all the rocks, and all the stars. In this way he has strange and wonderful adventures, some of which are terrible and frightening. But these are just like bad dreams, for when he wakes up they will disappear.

    Now when God plays hide and pretends that he is you and I, he does it so well that it takes him a long time to remember where and how he hid himself. But that's the whole fun of it—just what he wanted to do. He doesn't want to find himself too quickly, for that would spoil the game. That is why it is so difficult for you and me to find out that we are God in disguise, pretending not to be himself. But when the game has gone on long enough, all of us will wake up, stop pretending, and remember that we are all one single Self—the God who is all that there is and who lives for ever and ever.

    'Of course, you must remember that God isn't shaped like a person. People have skins and there is always something outside our skins. If there weren't, we wouldn't know the difference between what is inside and outside our bodies. But God has no skin and no shape because there isn't any outside to him. [With a sufficiently intelligent child, I illustrate this with a Möbius strip—a ring of paper tape twisted once in such a way that it has only one side and one edge.] The inside and the outside of God are the same. And though I have been talking about God as 'he' and not 'she,' God isn't a man or a woman. I didn't say 'it' because we usually say 'it' for things that aren't alive.

    'God is the Self of the world, but you can't see God for the same reason that, without a mirror, you can't see your own eyes, and you certainly can't bite your own teeth or look inside your head. Your self is that cleverly hidden because it is God hiding.'"

    That seems to be the gist of what teal is saying. It's a very convoluted rehashing of the idea that we are the universe talking to itself, or as Hegel put it, “Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of God and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for Spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself.”

    In terms of all the "splitting," perhaps she's alluding to the idea that division is the precursor to form. Until the oneness divides into twoness, we have no manifestation, only potential. But that is better described through sacred geometry.

    Again, I am perhaps being generous, but that seems to be what she was on about.

    When Sarbdeep mentions that his friend Stewart Pearce said the meaning of life was "joy," suddenly that's teal's idea, too. Joy is the meaning life. So that's the universe subdivided so it can discover itself by expanding its perspective... aaaaaand joy. Joy is kind of a vehicle to expansion... I think...

    "Thought can only progress as far as you reach what you desire. So let's say I want money. Let's just take the standard, stereotypical least spiritual thing you can think of right? [Sarbdeep does not like this idea. His face goes very rigid.] That's its own conversation. The person is I want money. They're gonna continue either fighting against the want that they want or else going in the direction of what they want until they get that. And only once they get that are they going to broadcast forth a new desire."

    So, as per teal, you can only desire one thing at a time and you can't think past what's in your grasp. This of course would bring both faith and any kind of theoretical science crashing to a halt. Anything that involves an elusive goal or understanding would have no meaning. It also kind of turns that whole "do what you love and the money will follow" idea right on its head. If you're teal, you love money until you have it, then you love something else, and eventually you come around to loving the present moment.

    Somewhere in the midst of this tortured explanation she blithely announces that the entire universe is now "tipping" more towards "aaahhh." Stillness, I guess? Presence? So how on earth does she know how the universe is tipping? Well, the man is the microcosm. Check. But not all people are in a place of stillness, presence, and wanting what you have. The hostility she's gotten to her Spirituality 2.0 should tell her that. But she is now teaching those principles. That's where she's at for today, so she naturally assumes that the entire universe is tipping in that direction. Again, completely solipsistic. The fact that she knows full well that there are many people who aren't in same place that she is and are still stuck where she was last week doesn't matter at all in the universal scheme of things, apparently. And, you know, she speaks for universe. The rest of us not so much... even though we're all expressions of the universe talking to itself.

    Anyway, once reminded that Stewart Pearce thinks the meaning of life is joy, she remembers that she's all about joy. She has it tatooed on her arm: "Follow your joy." She quotes herself even on her own body. Except that that isn't really a teal quote. It's a slightly altered quote from Joseph Campbell, whom they both seem to be trying very hard not to quote directly. They say, follow your joy or your happiness, but they never say "follow your bliss." If they did that, she might actually have to credit Joseph Campbell. Of course teal doesn't plagiarize other people's ideas. She paraphrases them and then they're hers. All hers. And she can quote herself badly paraphrasing other people endlessly. She doesn't seem to understand that stealing intellectual property without quoting it word for word is still theft.

    Perhaps this is why the topic of tea is the "purpose" rather than the more standard "meaning" of life. Gotta be original. Of course, the scope of those words is quite different and they seem to be using the words interchangeably. (My secondary theory on this is that it was Sarbdeep who chose the word "purpose" because he seems to be having some sort of existential crisis. What he really seems to be saying here is, "What is the bloody point of all this?" And he's horribly frustrated that he's being lectured on blades of grass and amoebas when he's trying to figure out why people get out of bed in the morning. My husband thinks Sarbdeep, like himself, is utilitarian by nature and may be realizing that teal isn't providing anything constructive.)

    I'm of two minds on her paraphrasing of Campbell. Either she knows that she's stealing a Joseph Campbell idea and is carefully avoiding an exact quote. Or she heard the phrase bouncing around the new age arena, as it most definitely does, and didn't even bother to research and trace it back to Campbell. She just coined her version of the phrase, once again, carefully avoiding the exact phrasing so it would sound like she made it up. Neither my husband nor myself can decide which possibility is more disturbing.

    This is one of the major differences I have with teal. If I come across an idea that piques my interest, I will try to gather more information. If the source isn't clear, I will look for the source and the context. Now, in the age of the internet, this is easier than ever. I have a hard time understanding why anyone would ignore that we have a library at our fingertips and do at least a little cursory research. Again, a Wikipedia page would settle her misunderstanding on a host of issues, but she can't even take ten minutes to do that.

    My husband calls it mendicant learning, a beggar's knowledge. She's picking up bits and bobs of other people's ideas. She sticks them in her wobbly shopping cart and wheels them onto the stage and pronounces these scraps and broken pieces of things as the world according to teal.

    Again, teal has no spiritual teachers or traditions. There's no process of discovery. She never talks about what it was like learning any of this. She just knows it. Boom! Every so often she'll give other spiritual teachers a pat on the head for getting it right where they have, in her opinion: Abraham/Hicks, the Buddha (except for where he's horribly "flawed" because she's completely misunderstood the use of a word), the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, ... pat, pat, pat.

    I bet if you pointed out to her that Joseph Campbell coined the phrase "follow your bliss," she'd say something like, I'd never heard of him until a few months ago when one of my many fans mentioned him. Yeah, he's on it.

    Well, I'd rather learn from Joseph Campbell. He was a far more interesting thinker and he always cited his sources. His work sets you on a journey of discovery. He didn't just tell you the answers. And brilliant as he was, he never claimed that great cosmological questions were easy. So I got curious about what Campbell had to say about the meaning of life. And then I got curious about what other real thinkers had to say about the meaning of life. I put together a little compendium of some of those that really spoke to me. You'll note that there's a real range of perspectives and that nobody else seems to think it's so terribly obvious that it can be definitively answered in ten minutes.

    “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” ~ Joseph Campbell

    “Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” ~ Joseph Campbell

    “I go to seek a Great Perhaps.” ~ François Rabelais

    “In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in his cosmic loneliness.

    And God said, 'Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done.' And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close to mud as man sat, looked around, and spoke. 'What is the purpose of all this? he asked politely.

    'Everything must have a purpose?' asked God.

    'Certainly,' said man.

    'Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this,' said God.

    And He went away.”
    ~ Kurt Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle

    “Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.” ~ Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

    “There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.” ~ Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

    “Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.” ~ Henry Miller

  177. Noncast: Meaning of Life pt 7

    “I believe that I am not responsible for the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of life, but that I am responsible for what I do with the life I've got.” ~ Hermann Hesse, Verliebt in die verrückte Welt: Betrachtungen, Gedichte, Erzählungen, Briefe

    “We modern human beings are looking at life, trying to make some sense of it; observing a 'reality' that often seems to be unfolding in a foreign tongue -- only we've all been issued the wrong librettos. For a text, we're given the Bible. Or the Talmud or the Koran. We're given Time magazine, and Reader's Digest, daily papers, and the six o'clock news; we're given schoolbooks, sitcoms, and revisionist histories; we're given psychological counseling, cults, workshops, advertisements, sales pitches, and authoritative pronouncements by pundits, sold-out scientists, political activists, and heads of state. Unfortunately, none of these translations bears more than a faint resemblance to what is transpiring in the true theater of existence, and most of them are dangerously misleading. We're attempting to comprehend the spiraling intricacies of a magnificently complex tragicomedy with librettos that describe the barrom melodramas or kindergarten skits. And when's the last time you heard anybody bitch about it to the management?” ~ Tom Robbins, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

    “If the immediate and direct purpose of our life is not suffering then our existence is the most Ill-adapted to its purpose in the world: for it is absurd to suppose that the endless affliction of which the world is everywhere full, and which arises out of the need and distress pertaining essentially to life, should be purposeless and purely accidental. Each individual misfortune, to be sure, seems an exceptional occurrence; but misfortune in general is the rule.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

    “The chances of finding out what’s really going on in the universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied.” ~ Douglas Adams

  178. Wow
    You know when the meal is really good, everyone would stop talking and just chew on it.
    This will take some time to digest.

  181. Well, now I feel kind of bad. Apparently that dog that I thought sounded like a pony died. In fairness, he looks like he was about as big as pony. Beautiful dog. Always sad to lose a pet.

  182. After having a very honest conversation with Jared for a full day I can finally rest my case and got the antidot against the Teal Spell, which is a massive phenomena - considering the amount of followers, fast increasing - although I got a taste of it from LaVaughn's dedicated work. The dose did it for me. <3

    Teal is sick, very smart and has a lot of phantasy and charisma and plays very successfully a role for millions of people who put her there in the first place - me included.

    LaVaughn, the work you are doing here is crutial and very important to reintegrate people who lost touch and had a nice juicy dream. It is useless for people who chose to participate in the offerings of a fantastic and mystical dream. They shouldn't be disturbed until their own longing and guts will make them find you. Your approach is spot on. Don't get distracted with illuminati and dark lord shit ( i know you didn't so far)- this is just another dream. Keep it real with profiling. you are so good at it.

    I feel light, clarified, my guts were spot on and I can finally understand the opposing vibes I was always receiving which simply drove me nuts. It all makes sense now.

    I enjoyed the period spending in this creative and magnificent dream, the peace which comes with it, the end of many questions which use to torture me, the belonging to "a group" of same minded and the overflow of love and compassion and intelligence of a selfless alien being who has all the answers of the universe. I felt like Gollum and Teal the all knowing sexy queen was "my precious" and it lasted for a summer and an autumn. Then winter hit me hard and spring brought you on my radar. Now I am in a very different summer but it feels great and is surely tailored to my own needs and desires.

    It was a great dream until the cracks showed up and then turned into a nightmare of doubt, insecurity, confusion and disorientation. Till few days ago i was still restless, trying to find answers for all the new questions, the opposing teachings, the obvious sex manipulation, the suggestions to dive deep into the nightmares of a soul without any guidance etc...After my conversation with Jared "the precious" is gone and with it all the spells and power. The conversation was too raw and felt too authentic and loads of puzzle pieces came together.

    Be aware of your desire for the magical dream and your deepest desires for a savior outside of you. This role will be filled by smart people who recognize this desire of the people and have a painful own desire to be the star of the universe ( : ha literally - a la intro podcast
    That is all I will say.

    I will not publish all the emails with Jared because I totally respect his wish and it is his choice what he does and doesn't do with this information. IT was purely a conversation between him and me, driven by my own desire to find an end. He sounds much better to me and he has his own conclusions and new desires from this experience.

    My last word goes to Sarbdeep - in case you read this - good luck. I think your authentic thrive for answers brought you there, your deep desire to protect a scared woman and your own love for fantastic stories, self significance and automatic responds to a female manipulation game. I don't see any handler stuff. You picked the savior ship. Have a good trip and know when to jump or stick with it but don't get tangled in the many ropes.

    Teal I wish you all the best, healing, love and honesty. I do deeply love you and I feel your pain but I just had wished that you would have been honest to me in the first place - but I understand that you can't offer this so someone if you don't offer it to yourself in the first place. I felt that I had learnt so much - now I feel emptied all over again. Zero zone and i have no desire for any questions...

  183. ...Life is there to be filled with a dream and then emptied and filled and emptied and you decide how this may look like.

    Oh I loooooove google - you too?
    I think google is the universe and the akashic records :D
    …but you will need a keyboard. xx

    May everybody involved wake up at the right time and enjoy the dream as long as it lasts.
    Much Love
    GA - the creature with endless questions which brings her often into troubled waters because she believes in saviors outside of her. :D ;)

  188. So I took those 10 mins to read some wiki on Campbell:

    "One of Campbell's most identifiable, most quoted and arguably most misunderstood sayings was his admonition to "follow your bliss." He derived this idea from the Upanishads."
    During his later years, when some students took him to be encouraging hedonism, Campbell is reported to have grumbled, "I should have said, 'Follow your blisters."

    Lol, LaVaughn, is Teal one of your blisters then? :-D

    GA, <3<3<3

  189. GA... Thanks for sharing what you did with us. I am glad that Jared/Fallon is doing better in your opinion. I did see him as completely brainwashed and very naive in a lot of ways... One personal question I might ask that doesn't seem quite like you have the clarity on... Do you still actually love Teal deeply and feel her pain?? OR do you love the IDEA of Teal you have created and identify with and have compassion for the IDEA of her pain??... Just a thought ;) It seems that an awful lot of people are in love with the IDEA of TEAL they hold regardless of what actually is. Even when faced with the facts that the stories behind her pain just DO NOT add up.... I don't know anything though. Sometimes I think that the only thing that is REAL in this UNREALITY that we live in is our perspective...

  190. LaVaughn, thank you again for that non-cast. I agree with Elena Zh that one is soo loaded with awesomeness that it is going to take some time to digest it all!!

  191. LaVaughn, personally I understand why you won't touch the ideas of the Illuminati and handlers and satanic abuse. It is not your style. You need hard facts and things that are tangible and provable by our current limited understanding of the way the world works. That is what lends to your credibility in these blog posts. This is also what makes you so dangerous for people like TEAL in the mainstream with these types of expose blog posts. You are clearly gifted with insight, intelligence, and have a way with words. I enjoy your style immensely. The knowledge of the dark agenda will come to light for the masses in due time... Our obvious governmental blunders and false flags are becoming increasingly desparate as is evident by the increasing regularity things like 9/11 and SANDY HOOK. It's ok that some people aren't ready to have their entire belief systems about the way this matrix works shaken to the core. I personally am happy that you all allow a place where people with all perspectives and belief systems can honestly share their thoughts and perspectives with whomever cares enough to take the time to read them. Some are ready to hear this stuff, and some aren't. Thanks to everyone for providing a place to share whatever perspectives we may hold at this time :)

  192. OT, forgive for not even trying to write out your whole nick. I just can't. Thanks again for your feedback. I do try to keep these posts really factual and grounded. And it's not because I can't get really airy-fairy, new agey, because I definitely can and do, but on something like this, I've really tried to stick to the facts and respond to her public record. I don't want to speculate about a lot of things I can't prove. I know that material is out there. I appreciate that she sets off alarm bells for a lot of people on that level as well. But I don't know any of that with any kind of certainty so I won't speak to it. That she says and does a lot of contradictory and disturbing things in the name of being a spiritual teacher I can document. And have.

  193. You know, Elena, I thought about getting into why that bastardization of the Campbell quote was so much worse than plagiarism, but I only have so many hours in the day. Bliss, as per Campbell, is not about ephemeral states. It's not about mood. And it's not about doing whatever you want. It's about getting to your authentic self, your passions. It's about dialing into your soul's purpose. That's my understanding of it anyway.

    But, meh. People misunderstand Campbell, too, and take it to mean doing whatever feels good. That's why context is everything, I guess.
