All I was going was posting a few links, not vandalizing the place or whatever. And still Teal has not replied to my private message...

To whom it may concern: I was spamming the Instagram accounts of Teal and Blake with links to the critical website, but I got blocked from doing so there too. That was quick. She must be logged in almost constantly.

IMO, there is a good chance that Teal is a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). She would have the right background and it is not unknown for people with DID to believe alters are outside spiritual entities and set up as psychics. It can explain how and why her story shifts. Madame Blavatskay was like this too. Some persons with DID have very sociopathic alters. Some of them are q

Watch this, beginning at 1:05:22 (for context). Teal is making predicting her own assassination, and is showing Messianic delusions, referring to Jesus a couple of times. At 1:07:00 she starts talking about getting killed, and how this would be of her own choice. She is comparing herself to Jesus in an oblique way. This does not bode well. You're not Jesus, Teal.

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

I also don't think she's all that beautiful really. I mean, she's cute, but I bet she looks like the Bride of Frankenstein when she first wakes up in the morning, with no makeup on or anything. Just sayin'.

ConcernedAboutTeal: I just thought of something. Say that she looked like George Costanza from "Seinfeld" and come along with the exact same shtick. She'd get kicked out of town. If it were not for the fact that this person is so pretty, nobody's listen to her or take her seriously in the least, much less pay to go to her workshops and all that crap. Her whole routine is

Look at all these Teal Swan memes. Bizarre.

You may be inclined to call a hotline or bring yourself to the hospital (and that's OK), but before you do please check out my books and videos, and call on myself or one of my specially-trained facilitators. We're here for you. This is outrageous.

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 o

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

Hello, Teal Swan. We are Anonymous. Over the months and years, we have been watching you.

Of course she probably will not write me back. I am not naive. ;-)
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I also sent Teal herself a private message. In it, I was very polite and professional. I asked if I could ask her a few questions. I doubt if she will reply. But it's worth a shot.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I was probing them, to test their "cultiness." Of course I knew I'd probably get banned for questioning Teal's authority. That's part of what cults do: shut out dissension and demonize those who question or criticize the leader. Name-calling is very common too. I am not naive with respect to these matters. And I was right. I got banned. They called me a troll. Nah

I've been lurking Teal Swan's personal Facebook page and found this meme. Now, that's certainly optimistic and encouraging. Just what a suicidal person ought to be focused on. See for yourself: This woman is actively encouraging desperate people to kill themselves. This is outrageous. Something must be done.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

You are welcome. All I was doing was posting links, and asking intelligent questions. I know better than to make very many statements; I just asked a bunch of questions. It took me less than half an hour to be banned there. Nah, there's nothing cult-like about that.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Well, that did not take long. They banned me. ;-)

I'm already getting lots of responses and they have not banned me yet. This is fun.

That's not accurate, Rick. Steve Bryant (Sulocana) was not a "former member." He was full-fledged (albeit renegade) Hare Krsna when he was killed. The Amish call their practice "shunning." In the Watchtower, it's called "disfellowshipping." In $cientology, it's called "disconnection." What does ISKCON call their policy of cutting off
