I shared the following comment for video, “You’re Not Meant To Be Alone – Teal Swan“:
I’m actually surprised that you’re continuing to teach this Teal, and it just happens to serve your own financial agendas, to include supporting the sales of your book about loneliness (which you conveniently refer to as an epidemic), as well as your YouTube and fb videos about how spending some alone time is all about the ego (though it isn’t).
Even another one of your followers shared a fb comment a while back that he usually resonates with your teachings, but that you WENT TOO FAR with a teaching that goes to one end of the extreme (which stems from narrow-minded thinking).
Some solitude time to deeply connect with your Sacred Self within is invaluable, though it’s meant to be balanced with social time as well.
We cannot unconditionally, fully, and generously give to another from an empty or barely-filled, inner cup.
So anyone who spends some alone time are supposed to feel ‘less than’ or bad about themselves because Teal Swan said so?
You saying this at one of your NYC events years ago is why one of the audience members didn’t return the next day. She had recently left two abusive relationships—her very controlling mother and emotionally abusive boyfriend—and was spending some alone time to go within, to be fully present with her true feelings (like you suggested in some of your earlier videos) and to heal, but yet, you said this and other BULL$h!+ that made her upset.
For years, I’ve been doing my best to deeply understand, embrace and integrate various aspects of you, but I’ve reached a point where I’m finally realizing that you’re that person that feels HEAVIER AND HEAVIER, and it’s best to just part ways for good.
For whatever reason, it seems that you’re changing in a darker, more fear-based way. I even took your advice in a recent video to put someone on mute to observe their non-verbal cues (like watching a silent movie), and sure enough, you’ve been appearing more unhappy, judgmental, sarcastic (with your ridicules of others), anxious and overall fear-based (unlike how you used to be years ago where you seemed much more unconditionally loving).
Did it ever occur to you that you’re the one who’s immensely afraid to ever be alone? Hence, you’re projecting your own fear, and even constantly have to be surrounded by your community, to include your closest member who has to turn on all the kitchen appliances for you, because you can’t do it yourself—due to your “super high vibrational frequency”—which sounds like a MEGA LOAD of doo doo?
Thank you for all your teachings, to include the non-beneficial CONTRASTS that further helped me to realize that it just FEELS lighter not to be exposed to your fear-instilling ways anymore, that I wouldn’t want my own adult children to listen to, though unfortunately, I had recommended them to you a while back because I chose to fully trust you.
Now I can clearly see why there are many who shared posts, articles, and videos (to include YouTube) that you’re not stable, you’re a false spiritual teacher, you’re an extreme narcissist, and very dangerous.
I didn’t want to believe them, but I see where they’re coming from now—it’s times where say some crazy@$$ things that can be much more harmful than beneficial, like when you also said at the NYC event that women who aren’t butt@$$ ugly or hot (like you), but in the middle—which most women are it seems—are the most dangerous.
You already experienced at least one of your followers commit suicide; do you really want to add others to the list because of an extremely one-sided teaching like this?
I was recently reminded from a wise one to watch for those who try to instill fear in others for their own gain, rather than encourage, uplift, empower, liberate, inspire and expand our individual and Collective Consciousness.
Teal, if your intentions are no longer heart-centered, I have no doubt that interconnected Life will mirror to you this truth.
Though you claim to be the Universal Mirror for humanity and beyond, you too, are being mirrored all that can highly benefit you. Take care Soul sister.
