Over the years it has been determined that the key to freedom is letting go and that there is no better way to let go than to forgive. There is no better example of this axiom than the one present in the story of Teal Scott. Teal Scott is a woman she wasn’t supposed to be. However, she is here to show others the way. She is here to show others the way out of powerlessness and the way out of pain. She made that trip herself, it was a trip where revenge and anger were road signs but not answers. Now, after years of torture inflicted on her by a mad man and the cults she belonged to, she has no desire to see her abusers prosecuted or for the iron hammer of justice to fall on her. heads of her To her, they are just victims of loveless situations, broken families, and a cycle of separation that exists far beyond the limits of this story she is now reading. When I first saw her around the corner that day, I was instantly struck by the fact that this woman was beautiful enough to be a super model. She moved gracefully with a trusted heir looming and ethereal across the room. She exchanged a smile and an unusually firm handshake with me and then proceeded with unwavering eye contact to wait for her to start asking questions.
Teal was born in 1984 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In the early years of her life, it was immediately apparent that Ella Teal had been born with unusual talents that set her apart from other children. These talents were not the ones Teal’s parents understood. But over the next few years, they would discover that Teal was demonstrating abilities such as clairvoyance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, the ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields, and the ability to communicate with thought forms. As she grew older, unlike many children born with extrasensory talents, her gifts did not disappear.
When Teal was still a toddler, her parents (both wild forest rangers) took a job in Utah’s Wasatch-Cache National Forest, unaware at the time about the intensely religious climate of the place. It was a sparsely populated area that at the time was over 95% Mormon. Because of this, news of her unusual abilities spread very quickly and she was not only frowned upon, but she was also feared by many in the community. Like many children who grew up as a religious minority, Teal was ostracized as a child and the degree of difficulty in her life could have stopped at that, except it was due to Teal’s misunderstood extrasensory talents that she captured the undivided attention of many. a loose acquaintance of the family. This man, whom Teal calls “Mr. X” for reasons of anonymity, was a sociopath who also had dissociative identity disorder. Mr. X had many personalities, one of whom belonged to a local Christian cult and another who attended satanic rituals.
Mr. X managed to infiltrate Teal’s family and position himself between Teal and his parents as his mentor. He managed to convince Teal that, among other things, he was in fact his real father. He became such a mentor to her that her family relied on him for weekend trips, after-school activities, and to guide her horseback riding. He was the one they turned to about what to do with her abilities, and later…in her teens, they trusted him to take her in when she became so mentally unstable (due to abuse) that the family didn’t know what to do with her. never more. The entire time they did not realize that he was creating the very condition that he claimed to be helping. He would get her out of bed at night until he finally trained her to come of her own free will and managed to get her out of school on many occasions as well. It was because of this man that Teal was inducted as a child (unbeknownst to his parents) into these local cults by Mr. X. For thirteen years, Teal was routinely tortured and ritually programmed by this man and members of the cults to which he belonged. to.
Over the course of those thirteen years, she was physically and sexually tortured in religious rituals, forced to participate in sacrifices, repeatedly raped, and starved to death. She was forced to undergo 3 abortions (all fathered by Mr. X himself, who was in his sixties at the time) he performed them himself because her job allowed not only the scant instruments to do so, but also the knowledge. She was photographed for sadomasochistic pornography, sold for money to men for sex outside motels and outdoor gas station toilets, kept tied up in bases, and kept in a hole in the ground in Mr. X’s backyard. She was exposed repeatedly subjected to electroshock programs, forced to undergo torture solitary confinement, and tied up overnight in lava caves in southern Idaho. Teal was also forced to engage in bestiality and necrophilia and was drugged by Mr. X with ketamine, Dormator, xylazine, opiates, and speed (all of which he had unlimited access to due to his career). Mr. X repeatedly chased her through the desert by “playing” tracking games in which he would hunt her down and subject her to any of a list of gruesome punishments if she was caught and also used her as a decoy for other children who ended up getting hurt as well. .
Teal was able to escape Mr. X and the cults he belonged to when he was 19 years old. But the real heart of this story lies in the fact that Teal has become healthy and found joy to such an extent that he has completely forgiven his abusers.
Since his escape, he has assumed the title of “The Spiritual Catalyst” and has embarked on a mission as a contemporary spirit guide to remind people of the united and energetic nature of this universe and teach them how to find happiness in it even in the midst of it. the most extreme circumstances.
During my interview with Teal, we briefly talked about the fact that happiness seems to be a very elusive quality and that those who achieve it are seen as unintelligent or, on the contrary, enlightened. I asked him if he feels that he has reached a place where he has achieved unshakable happiness and therefore a state of enlightenment. She gave a slight smile at this, tilted her head, and said, “No. One thing that makes people unable to find happiness is that they think it’s a permanent state that you have to achieve or some place that you have to get to.” when the The truth is that happiness, like enlightenment, is or is not in the moment.It is a constant process in each moment to focus your thoughts and subsequent actions towards happiness, just as it is a process in each moment to focus your thoughts and subsequent actions actions to be in line with enlightenment I have my days where I’m not very good at this, and my days where I am.” In his long way of speaking, he went on to say, “No one is meant to come here into this life and be in perfection, or live up to something that judges us. We are meant to come here into life to find happiness. The evolution is an inevitable by-product of following the path to happiness. Not a single person here, however much you may expect of them, is in perfection. Perfection is an illusion. Expecting perfection from yourself or others is be resistant to where you are or where someone else is and as long as you resist what is, you cannot move from what is.
For most people, the first reaction to hearing this story is utter shock, and then a sudden need for justice. The question of how we can reduce the ever-increasing levels of crime and violence is one that plagues our society today. The usual answer to this question from politicians and the media is that we need to be even tougher on crime. It’s a response that stems from a deeply held belief that fighting crime harder will eventually put this country right. But Teal strongly disagrees. She has held the position that no one needs to be brought to justice after what was done to them.
However, Teal’s abuse became a matter of state. Due to a confidentiality clause that was overridden by certain details of Teal’s abuse, her psychologist at the time presented her with the option of either her voluntarily telling authorities what happened or she would have to contact them with or without Teal’s consent with the details of the abuse. Then, in 2005, she told local authorities the horrifying story of her past. It became an investigation, which went cold after quite some time when the district attorney decided that the state could not provide enough substantial physical evidence to win a case. When I asked Teal about her take on this, she said, “Most women who run away from situations like mine never tell. I did say it, but even the physical evidence I had wasn’t enough given the years that had passed since the last incident that happened. And I’m glad for that in hindsight.” I, like most people, was surprised by this response and asked her why she was glad that a man like Mr. X could still be out in public and not in jail. She inched forward and said, “There is a negative vehicle of need and there is a positive vehicle of need. It is our choice which vehicle to enter and lead our own lives. You could say… I don’t want torture.” and abusers in this world… so we must punish all who torture, and torture the torturer so to speak. they want compassion… and to show those same perpetrators of violence a compassion they may never have been given before. Happy people who feel loved don’t hurt other people.”
It is Teal’s belief that the dehumanizing environment of jails and prisons does not rehabilitate criminals, it creates even worse criminals. She says it’s impossible to punish someone to make them feel good, that punishment for crime is like fighting fire with fire, so it’s time for the justice system and prison environment to change. She believes that the way to eliminate abuse and criminal behavior is to upend society and change the way we treat those who commit acts of violence. Teal went on to say, “We as a society strongly believe in victimhood and therefore try to control others by making laws. And we enforce those laws with severe punishments for all those who disobey them. Laws don’t they are control; they are merely the physical illusion of control. They do not work the way they are meant to work, and go against the universal truth of freedom. They will fail and fail. Your crime rates will continue to rise if crime is addressed as it is dealt with today”.
As our meeting came to a close, I was in awe of this woman who stands today in a light of forgiveness and mercy after having lived a life of torture and pain. She demonstrates an attitude that many who have been abused have been unable to achieve. She comes from a past that gives her the credibility to say that a person can achieve happiness, health and success no matter what she has done in her life and no matter what has been done to her. This revolutionary space is where we find Teal Scott. And if she’s serious about his message, this revolutionary space is where any of us can find ourselves.
