The most strident teal defender in this thread, it would appear, is no exception. "<br /><br />Oh yeah, I noticed that too. Her teachings that can help people, I won't dispute that, I feel are like breadcrumbs to people who are starving. They then fall in love with her and it is this adoration on a mass scale that gives her the 'elixir of power' which tastes a lot better than those breadcrumbs I bet. However, nobody is allowed to touch her elixir of course. Tealers are so naive to think that these breadcrumbs are Teal's love for them, but it's really a manipulation tool of her to get them to worship and adore her on a large scale. And tealers have all sorts of excuses to justify their love for her and the obvious power imbalance that defines their relationship with her. They start to feel dependant of her teachings and get hooked in by her charm and lose all critical thinking and as long as they don't get to taste 'the elixir', they'll never know the difference anyways.<br /><br />laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389661230719510136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766906560812521746.post-76180897921388925622016-06-02T13:51:11.471-04:002016-06-02T13:51:11.471-04:00"As ever, many of teal's fans don't c..."As ever, many of teal's fans don't care if she's lying or not. "<br /><br />OMG, that immediately reminded me of a comment on youtube I saw (another one that you linked to btw) where one of her fans claimed that 'even if Sarbdeep was speaking the truth she'd still love Teal'. So basically when you can even get them this far as to consider the possibility that what her victims say about her is true, as you say, they still wouldn't care! What do you call this: cognitive dissonance?<br />laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389661230719510136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766906560812521746.post-57727259267995326542015-12-01T22:38:32.297-05:002015-12-01T22:38:32.297-05:00Caught one of her first videos back in late 2011 a...Caught one of her first videos back in late 2011 and knew she was a hack.

I've been following you on YouTube and just came across this blog post. I was a friend of Teals for a short time when she was married to my friend Mark back in the day, before she really blew up and before all your drama with her.<br /><br />And hi LaVaughn!! :) It's been a while. If you don't recall, I was the commenter on your first series of blog posts regarding Teal, with the info regarding Blake = Jason Freedman. Good times. Good to see that you all are still at it, and I really think your work is starting to get through to those vulnerable people out there that are susceptible to Teal's stuff.<br /><br />Over the years that I've been keeping my ears to this saga, I've slowly seen a rising number of critics unafraid to come forward and openly doubt the stories and nonsense. Keep up the good work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212281309489155213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766906560812521746.post-29924865958647995482015-10-01T19:26:45.383-04:002015-10-01T19:26:45.383-04:00- cont -

For this he received some sharp and <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvctealersdontread_zpsarskn2jz.png" rel="nofollow">well-deserved criticism</a>. He <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvccamanditalked_zpsdaogtqed.png" rel="nofollow">explained</a> that he's had something of a dialogue with Cameron. When pressed to finish what he'd started, he said he was just <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvccouldhavereaditbyno_zpssb24ls7x.png" rel="nofollow">too busy</a>.<br /><br />One of the themes I've noticed after hearing from many tealers and recovering tealers is that they find teal when they're at very low, vulnerable times in their lives. The most strident teal defender in this thread, it would appear, is no <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvctealsaves_zpsvbz4nlrx.png" rel="nofollow">exception</a>. <br /><br />To my eye, this was a <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcgabepostsshit_zpsnpeo9sd2.png" rel="nofollow">fruitful dialogue</a>, with many <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcduelingintuition_zpslzui7cnv.png" rel="nofollow">divergent views</a>, and a nice <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvccrystalsleftthepage_zpsc0nlosp9.png" rel="nofollow">back and forth</a>.<br /><br />Gabriel, it seems, <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcgonnadeleteit_zpsebeznbki.png" rel="nofollow">took a different view</a>. Despite what was mostly a very civil discussion, he did, as anticipated, pull the thread.<br /><br />I think this is unfortunate for many reasons. Conflict is an essential part of growth of learning. If you can't deal with contradictory views, you never have the opportunity to challenge your own thinking. This becomes even more critical when you're in a potential cult-type situation, which I think teal's followers are. The increasing levels of group think caused by an unwillingness to hear what critics are saying and labeling them "anti-teal" is downright creepy. I also find it ironic that the followers of a self-proclaimed "shadow worker" are this averse to hearing anything "negative." One of the dangers of that kind of high mindedness and total avoidance of conflict is that you can be blindsided by your own shadow. And, it may play out in attraction to someone who is really frigging dark. Perhaps learning that you're really part of a <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcintergalacticgreenpeace_zps9c5kdhkp.png" rel="nofollow">Galactic Greenpeace</a> makes it all worth it.

And, who cares? They're sort of adorable when they make shit up.<br /><br />Some were directly critical of Gabriel for writing something so <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcprotealbias_zpslpme3hob.png" rel="nofollow">obviously biased</a> and <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvctealplagiarizes_zpsmrep9h5d.png" rel="nofollow">factually incorrect</a>.<br /><br />I thought it was kind of interesting that in deflecting some of that criticism, Gabriel made a pretty <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcnotatealer_zps4kdkjxqx.png" rel="nofollow">damning statement</a> about tealers. He's not a tealer because he follows his own truth and listens to many other teachers. That would imply that tealers are clueless sheep who have given their power over to teal completely. And, teal sure does love her sheeple, I mean <a href="http://celestial-reflections.blogspot.com/2014/02/breaking-teal-spell.html" rel="nofollow">tealers</a>.<br /><br />One person raised alarms about teal's <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvctransientcaregivers_zpspjmicb4h.png" rel="nofollow">living situation</a> and how it could impact her child. Gabriel <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvctakesavillage_zps9ivys8ec.png" rel="nofollow">bristled</a> at the suggestion that anyone dare criticize her right to exercise her prerogative. I guess he's missed teal's many lectures to the world about how children should be raised and how she hopes to completely re-engineer the process of parenting. He also must have missed her <a href="http://celestial-reflections.blogspot.com/2014/02/breaking-teal-spell.html?commentPage=6" rel="nofollow">excoriation</a> of Elliott Rodger's mother for her use of "transient caregivers." Yeah, the mother who quit her job as a nurse to stay home with her two kids must surely have caused her son to become a mass murderer with her employment of the occasional au pair. Whereas teal's rotating cast of husbands, boyfriends, and live-in tealers who care for the son she can't be alone with lest she has a seizure, couldn't possibly be considered the dreaded "transient caregivers" could they?<br /><br />Gabriel has been fairly clear that he would not be cool with teal if it turns out she's a lying liar, and in his post went way out on a limb by claiming he would purge his sites of teal if that turned out to be the case. But since <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvccantknow_zpsj2g9ni9m.png" rel="nofollow">no proof</a> will ever be good enough <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcslyingortruth_zpsoakcv2dv.png" rel="nofollow">to convince him</a>, it probably will never come to that.<br /><br />As ever, <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcsantaclaus_zpsxwyoztfo.png" rel="nofollow">many</a> of teal's fans <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcwhocaresabtfraud_zpsnwvbimxy.png" rel="nofollow">don't care</a> if she's <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcdelusionsandlies_zpszptdk4gz.png" rel="nofollow">lying or not</a>. <br /><br />- to be cont -LaVaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147322061125012346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766906560812521746.post-85073274789240789942015-10-01T19:25:05.832-04:002015-10-01T19:25:05.832-04:00I knew early on that Gabriel would delete the Face...I knew early on that Gabriel would delete the Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gabriel.kundalini/posts/990012261050830" rel="nofollow">thread</a> on his page, announcing his blog post. I knew it because he was getting far too much negative feedback. I don't know what he was expecting, but I suspect it wasn't a lesson in how much opposition teal has and how far it extends beyond Cameron. In anticipation of the inevitable deletion, I started taking screenshots early on. It was a very long thread, ultimately including over a hundred comments and at least double that with replies to those comments. I can't hope to do the thread justice, but I didn't want to let it all go down the memory hole. I've posted some of the more interesting bits to my <a href="http://s239.photobucket.com/user/LaHuesera/library/Gabe%20v%20Cameron" rel="nofollow">photobucket</a>. If there's something you remember and don't see there, let me know and I'll dig through it all again to see if I can find it.<br /><br />Gabriel didn't just get pushback from those evil anti-teal minions, but from some tealers as well. The gist was that Gabriel was <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcgabestrolling_zpsqpsvrsv4.png" rel="nofollow">exploiting this drama</a> to boost his own traffic and profile. It's my understanding that he got some of the same kind of feedback on Teal Tribe. To address <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvcfairesandwizards_zpsqoyncqku.png" rel="nofollow">this kind of criticism</a>, Gabriel <a href="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff248/LaHuesera/Gabe%20v%20Cameron/gvccarryingtealswater_zpsbmkn13cp.png" rel="nofollow">explained</a> that he was just carrying teal's water and that he even got mad props from Blake. <br /><br />Gabriel's post was open to the public. I have no idea how many of the people who posted were his friends and how many were teal critics who wandered by, but a lot of the comments were the kind that teal would no doubt call "anti-teal" material from her "hate groups."

But I've said my piece and don't care to continue revisiting the topic over and over again, picking apart the story and one person when I don't think there will ever be any hard evidence to prove decisively who is correct.

I just want to emphasize this whole debate is extremely important for the sake of people who live, have lived and are going to live with her. But we should be very careful not to make a martyr out of her :/<br />When it comes to this story what is most important is that the people who live with her should read up on psychopaths. I have been friends with one for over a decade, and only when the lies got out of hand and people's lives were at stake did I have the guts to walk away. <br />It is incredibly difficult to cut a psychopath out of your life and no matter who ir what tells you something's off you're not gonna take that step as long as you hate yourself enough that you succumb to flattery and your life becomes a living hell of listening to their crap, defending them and covering for them whenever they do something insanely stupid because you're afraid they might leave you. Yes, you become dependent on them (or they just manipulate you into feeling that way) and they make you believe they are dependant on YOU. 'You're my only friend. You have to keep this secret for me, you're the only one I trust. Can you please help me get my hands on those pills, I can't sleep and I know you can help me. You are so special, and I have no idea what I'd do without you, you help me so much, I'd be lost without you'. SOunds familiar? Yeah, my psychopath would try to kill herself periodically whenever she did something stupid. Instant pity. Take a look at the person next to you and google the traits of a psychopath and WALK AWAY.
