It has been determined over the years that the key to freedom is letting go and 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 who wasn’t supposed to be. However, she is here to show others the way. She is here to show others how to get out of helplessness and how to get 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 him by a madman and the cults to which he belonged, he does not want his abusers to be prosecuted or for the iron hammer of justice to fall on their heads. For her, they are just victims of loveless situations, broken families, and a cycle of separation that exists far beyond the limits of this story that you are reading now. That day when I first saw her around the corner, I was instantly struck by the fact that this woman was beautiful enough to be a super model. He moved gracefully with an ethereal and menacing trusty heir across the room. She exchanged a smile and an unusually firm handshake with me and then proceeded with unwavering eye contact to wait for me 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 Teal had been born with unusual talents that set her apart from other children. These talents weren’t the ones Teal’s parents understood. But in the years to come, they would discover that Teal was demonstrating abilities like clairvoyance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, the ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields, and the ability to communicate with thought forms. As he grew older, unlike many children born with extrasensory talents, his gifts did not disappear.
When Teal was still a young child, her parents (who were both rangers) took a job in Utah’s Wasatch-Cache National Forest, unaware at the time of the intensely religious climate there. It was a sparsely populated area that was more than 95% Mormon at the time. Because of this, news of their unusual abilities spread very quickly and they were not only frowned upon but also feared by many in the community. Like many children growing 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 caught the undivided attention of one. known little known. of the family. This man, whom Teal calls “Mr. X” because of his anonymity, was a sociopath who also had dissociative identity disorder. Mr. X had many personalities, one of which belonged to a local Christian cult and one of which attended Satanic rituals.
Mr. X managed to infiltrate Teal’s family and position himself between Teal and his parents as their mentor. He managed to convince Teal that, among other things, he was in fact her real father. He became her mentor to such an extent that his family entrusted him with weekend trips, after-school activities, and to guide her in horseback riding. He was the one they turned to for 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 it. They didn’t realize the whole time that he was creating the very condition that he claimed to be helping. He got her out of bed at night until he finally trained her to come of her own free will and he also managed to get her out of school on many occasions. It was because of this man that Teal was included as a child (unbeknownst to her parents) into these local cults by Mr. X. For thirteen years, Teal was routinely tortured and programmed by this man and the members of the cults to whom 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 sired by Mr. X himself, who was in his sixties at the time), he performed them himself because his job allowed him not only the few tools to do so, but also the knowledge . She was photographed for sadomasochistic pornography, sold for money to men for sex in motels and open-air gas station bathrooms, kept tied up in basements, and kept in a hole in the ground in Mr. X’s backyard. She was repeatedly exposed to electroshock programs, forced to undergo isolation torture and left overnight tied up in lava caves in southern Idaho. Teal was also forced to participate in bestiality and necrophilia and Mr. X drugged him with ketamine, dormator, xylazine, opiates, and speed (all of which he had unlimited access to due to his career). Mr. X would repeatedly chase her through the desert “playing” tracking games in which he would chase her and subject her to any of a list of horrific punishments if caught and also used as a decoy for other children who ended up being injured as well. .
Teal was able to escape from Mr. X and the cults he belonged to when he was 19 years old. But the true heart of this story lies in the fact that Teal has become healthy and found joy to such an extent that she has completely forgiven her abusers.
Since her escape, she has assumed the title of “The Spiritual Catalyst” and has embarked on a mission as a contemporary spiritual guide to remind people of the united and energetic nature of this universe and to teach people how to find bliss in it even. in the midst of the most extreme circumstances.
During my interview with Teal, we briefly discussed the fact that happiness seems to be a very elusive quality and that those who achieve it are viewed as unintelligent or, conversely, enlightened. I asked him if he feels that he has reached a place where he has reached unshakable happiness and therefore a state of enlightenment. She smiled slightly at this and bowed her head and said “No. One thing that makes people unable to find happiness is that they think that it is some permanent state that you have to reach or some place that you have to reach when 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 later 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 lengthy manner of speaking, he went on to say, “No one is destined to come here into this life and remain in perfection, or live up to something that judges us. We are destined to come here to life to find happiness. Evolution is an unavoidable by-product of following the path to happiness. No person here, no matter how much he may expect of them, is in perfection. Perfection is an illusion. To expect perfection from oneself or from others is to resist where you are or where someone else is and as long as you resist what is, you cannot advance from what is.
For most people, the first reaction to hearing this story is outright shock and then the sudden need for justice. The question of how we can reduce the increasing levels of crime and violence is one of the plagues of our society today. The usual answer to this question from politicians and the media is that we have to be even tougher on crime. It’s a response that stems from a deeply held belief that fighting crime harder will eventually set this country right. But Teal totally disagrees. She has maintained the position that no one needs to be brought to justice after what was done to her.
However, Teal’s abuse became a state affair. 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 that she would voluntarily tell authorities what happened or would have to contact them with or without Teal’s consent with the details of the situation. abuse. Then in 2005 he told local authorities the horrendous story of his past. It became an investigation, which cooled down 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 for her opinion on this, she said, “Most women who escape situations like the ones I never counted. I said so, but even the physical evidence I had was not enough given the years that had passed since then. the last incident that happened. And I’m glad about that in hindsight. ” I, like most people, was surprised by this answer and asked why he was glad that a man like Mr. X could still be in public and not in jail. She proceeded slowly and said, “There is a negative vehicle of desire and there is a positive vehicle of desire. 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. On the contrary, instead of saying … I don’t want torture … you could say … I want compassion … and they show those same actors of violence compassion that perhaps they have never been given before. Happy people who feel loved don’t hurt other people. “
Teal believes that the dehumanizing environment of jails and prisons does not rehabilitate criminals, but creates even worse criminals. She says that it is impossible to punish someone to make them feel good, that punishment for a crime is like putting out fire with fire, so it is time for the justice system and the prison environment to change. She believes that the way to eliminate abuse and criminal behavior is to change the roots of 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 victimization and therefore we try to control others by creating laws. And we enforce those laws with harsh punishment for all those who disobey them. The laws are not control; they are simply the physical illusion of control. They do not work the way they should, and they run counter to the universal truth of freedom. They will fail and fail. Their crime rates will continue to rise if crime is tackled the way it is tackled today “.
When our meeting came to an end, 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. It shows an attitude that many of those who have been abused have not been able 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 they have done in their life and no matter what they have done to them. This revolutionary space is where we find Teal Scott. And if you take your message seriously, this revolutionary space is where any of us can find ourselves.
