Teal Swan and her teachings remind me of this old song called "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine":

"She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf
Behind volumes of literature based on herself
And runs across the pages like some tiny elf
Knowing that it's hard to find
Stuff way back in her mind
Winds up spending all of her time
Trying to memorize every line
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
Sweet lady of death wants me to die
So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh
And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes
Then softly she will explain
Just exactly who was to blame
For causing me to go insane
And finally blow out my brain
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
You were raised up in the city
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways
Ah 'bout country ways.
The joy of life she dresses in black
With celestial secrets engraved in her back
And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack
But you know when you look into her eyes
All she's learned she's had to memorize
And the only way you'll ever get her high
Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things
And reads us stories out of the I Ching
Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings
That when you put on your hand
Makes you one of the Angel Band
And gives you the power to be a man
But what it does for her you never quite understand
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
You were raised up in the city
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways
Oh 'bout country ways, oh 'bout country ways
Yeah about country ways, oh country ways..."

It ought to be your theme song, Teal. It's so fitting.

"The lyrical content is strange and unique contrasting the ‘hip’ counter culture elements of drugs, peace and free love with the dramas of dark magic, dysfunction and an undertow of sinister intentions by the songs subject. The verses encapsulate the yin/yang of the developing hippy generation by expressing the light and shade of not only the youth of the time, but of the differing off shoots making up the counterculture. The ‘Femme Fatale’ character could have its characterization based in on a real person, as the description is of a practicing witch if you would. The woman is studied in folk medicines learned from discussion and practice on unassuming ‘hippy’ youth looking for directive and quite possibly to Lorraine for the ‘answer’.

Lorraine uses her knowledge and know how to increase her own self worth as the narrator of the song can never really tell what her true intentions are. ‘The only way you'll ever get her high, is to let her do her thing and then watch you die’. Lorraine casts her spell over her naïve subjects using her books, spells, jewelry and special tinctures. In return she receives self confirmation and an invisible power her niceties allow her to achieve. Heavy. The portrayal of these aforementioned bizarre relationship dynamics are what make the song worthy of inspection."

I can't seem to face up to the facts/I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax.
