Interesting podcast exposing Teal Swan.

Some websites put her net worth at between 1 and 5 million from her youtube and other earnings.

Thanks, chuck. That was an interesting podcast series. Jennings was more than fair to her, I thought, given the harshness of some of the criticisms that have been made - see the thread below.

Also, Tori McLellan comes up in one of the podcasts. Here's an article she (apparently) wrote which is worth reading.

I watched some videos of Teal Swan some years ago when I was researching during my post stroke spiritual phase. Some people I liked more than others, she was in the ‘no thanks’ group for me. 

I wonder how our brain allows individuals to get placed in ‘bins’ in our head? Some we eagerly listen to and some we don’t.

Do you reckon the brain is in charge of such things, rather than us choosing of our own free will?

I’ve no idea Typoz. For my own preferred theory to work, it ought to be our free will, but I’m not sure that it is totally free to make decisions. Our ego seems to be influenced by lots of things, so it’s never totally our own. Maybe we choose these challenges before coming here to see if we can make good choices in spite of our ego?

Well, in my own case, I'm only able to go as far as saying my aim is to make different choices than last time. I'm not able to claim that I make good choices. Certainly I'd like to, but I'm wondering whether it is important simply to come to see the world from different angles.

It's funny, in my schooldays there was an idea of 'keeping to the straight and narrow path', which was presented to us as meaning to follow the flavour of Christianity which we were taught. But I don't feel I've in any usual sense followed a straight path, I've wandered all over the place (not in physical travel, but in ways of approaching life). On the other hand, I've tended to be led by my conscience - when I listen to it. Sometimes I've ignored it. Perhaps the only 'straight' path is one where we follow our conscience, even if it might mean wandering.

Edit: Apologies to the OP for wandering off the topic of this thread.
