♪ ♪

- In 2012, I founded
a company called TLI.

TLI's job is
to carry out my vision.

But it's not just my vision.

It's a vision
that many on this Earth share.

You could fit
all of these things

which I see for this world
under one title:

positive world change.

My intention is
to build a company

that is so large
and so unstoppable

that nothing can
come up against it,

a company
whose intentions are so pure

that not even the people
who created the company--

not even the executives,
the CEOs, the directors--

can come up against it.

My joy on this planet is
carrying out that vision,

and so, I will.

Have a good week.

TEAL: I'm carrying
the responsibility

of so much of this mission,

but it's so dependent
upon the people around me.

The people who are
the most dedicated to this,

they know me on
a very close, personal level,

and it's like my inner circle.

Originally,
they started as volunteers,

people who wanted
to learn from me

in exchange
for working for me.

TRISTEN: Coming
from an Asian household,

I was pretty much told
that I was gonna be a doctor,

and I adopted that as mine.

And then,
I stumbled across Teal,

and I was just like,
"Okay, this feels real to me."

And that's when I decided
to drop out of college.

Is there anyone that would
want to film a testimonial

of your experience?

Go for it.

That was beautiful.

Perfect.
Absolutely perfect.

- I don't know
if you guys know this,

but Cyan wasn't the name I was
born with and legally have.

Do you know that?

[laughs]

My actual legal name
is Matthew.

Are you familiar
with Teal's work?

- No, I'm not.
CYAN: Both Teal and I,

at the same time, were like,
something feels so different

to where, like,
my name doesn't even feel

like it matches me anymore,

like that's
some other identity,

And then, we came up
with this name together.

[chuckles]

MATTHIAS:
Back home, in Germany,

I used to be a tennis coach.

Teal called me,
and she said,

"You know what,
I have the intuition

"that you've been managing

"and coaching tennis players.

What do you think
about managing me?"

And immediately,
I said yes.

[cheers and applause]

My number one goal right now

is to get her as big
as possible.

- When you first see her,
it just--

you know, your whole world
explodes, and it's like,

"Who is this creature?
Are you even human?"

You know?

How do you have this answer
that no one else has?

I eat, breathe,
sleep in this process.

I don't think
I've really left her side

for the last seven years.

[dog barks distantly]

TEAL: Everyone around me
has made the decision

to dedicate their life
to this mission.

We're ready
to sacrifice anything for it.

[tapping rhythmically]

Everyone has
to have that attitude.

That's what it takes to go
to the altitude I'm going to.

FOLLOWER: Good morning!
FOLLOWER: Good morning.

How are you?

[laughter]

- I--okay, so I made it--

this is why I am wanting
to have this conversation.

This community,
obviously based on the fact

that it's oriented
around this mission,

with me at the spearhead of it,

functions a lot differently

than most
intentional communities.

It's not
a real safe community...

both because
of the level of pressure

that we're under all the time
and the level of attacks

we get all the time.

So my only safety
is this community.

It's all the people around me.

I'm in the middle here,

and, like, my community forms
this little circle, like that.

And that is my everything.
JULIANA: Mm-hmm.

TEAL: And, like, Blake is
the person that I'm closest to.

He's my safe place, and,
like, I need him in my life.

The problem comes
whenever a girl that he's with

has a truth
that opposes mine in any way.

JULIANA: Mm-hmm.

- He acts like a little noodle,

and then,
it's about her versus me.

I don't want it
to be that same dynamic,

'cause, like, the reality
of Blake's life so far,

unless he changes his mind,
is this.

- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, yeah. Sure.

That's, like--I got--
I got to know him that way,

so I didn't expect
something different.

I really want to work

where I feel like
I have purpose

and can do something,

and having this community place
pretty much is what I want.

I would--it would be
the optimal thing to live in,

and I am, like, open
to experience it and find out.

TEAL: We're terrified.

- About?

TEAL: Getting attached
to a new person

and having it go south again.

And community with us
means a lot of--

a lot of intense things.

- We've had community members
turn/leave,

because people aren't expecting

Teal's persona
to be what it is.

TEAL: It's never like,
"Oh, let's chill."

There is no chill.

There is always weird, like,
interpersonal shit going on

and intentions.

Do you have any questions
for us about anything?

JULIANA:
I don't know right now.

TEAL: Your head's
still spinning.

- No, not really spinning.

It's just, I don't know,

maybe I have more questions
later on, I guess.

Mm-hmm.

[wind chime chimes]

- [sighs]

Hi.

JULIANA: Hi.

How do you feel?

- G-good.

I mean, that was--

I mean, it's kind of intense.

And how are you?

JULIANA: Same.

[laughter]

Before I came here,
it was like,

okay, this is not
a normal thing

where you have a partner.

I was aware that,
if that works,

I have a whole family
at the same time.

So if I don't get around
with one of them,

this won't work.

I feel society,
in general,

they have, like, a totally
different understanding

from what is a family.

People should go more into

with whom
do they feel comfortable

and where is, like,
my heart tribe, my soul tribe.

Where do you really
feel at home?

That's usually not the family.

Americans are
a little bit crazy.

- Yeah, we're a little bit.

- [chuckles]
Just a little.

- Well, you're a little crazy
too for coming out here.

- I am.

BLAKE: This bike path will take
us all the way to the Walmart.

[laughter]

JULIANA: Okay.

TEAL: Juliana does not
understand what we do.

She got interested,
and then came for a training,

but I don't feel like
she's gotten a real taste

of what she's signing up for
yet, which is scary.

SHAY: All right,
ladies and gentlemen.

We have a very
special guest: Teal Swan.

So for people
who don't know you,

how would you boil down
your philosophy

and what it is you do exactly?

- What I essentially
define myself as

is an expert
in human suffering.

I want to help people
get out of suffering.

SHAY: Why do people call you
a cult leader, though?

- Because they know
it's gonna scare people off me.

SHAY: That's--that's true.

That is a good--
that is a good way to do it.

- [sighs]

Yeah, I like
to think about cults

as--as really
having a foundation

and a system of control
of people.

SHAY: Mm-hmm.

Do you think that cult leaders
start out with ill intent,

or that a lot of times--
- No.

SHAY: Yeah. Yeah.
- I don't.

But I think most people

who evolve into cult leadership

aren't really looking
at their own shadows.

- Yeah.
Oh, for sure.

And then,
what are your thoughts

on everything
that the media has been saying

about what you do and--

- So, like, here's the thing:
I find--

I have been on the opposite end
of the scale,

where people saying whatever
they want to say about me

has done so much damage
to my career.

I think one of the biggest
mistakes I ever made

was to ignore it.

- Mm.

[unsettling music]

REPORTER: Over the last year,
I've been trying to figure out

who Teal really is
and understand her influence.

To her followers,
she's a savior, a healer.

To her critics,
she's a narcissist,

a dangerous cult leader.

Whatever you feel about her at
this point, she is a catalyst.

[phone buzzing]

- Hey, I'm gonna talk
to the cops now, okay?

POLICE OFFICER:
Hello. Is this Blake?

BLAKE:
Yeah, this is him.

POLICE OFFICER:
What you got going on?

- Well, we have a woman

that has sent us
about 100 threatening messages.

POLICER OFFICER:
Towards you guys?

- Yeah, like, "You need
to pay me back for my training,

"you fucking narcissist.

"Wait
till what's coming your way.

I'll expose
the shit you actually are."

POLICE OFFICER: Yeah.
Now, you said

there was something recently,
like this week.

- This is all this--
this is all two days ago.

POLICE OFFICER:
Okay. So all right.

We'll go check on her,
and thanks for calling.

- All right.
Appreciate you.

We get hate messages
and threats pretty often.

"No one hates themselves
but you,

"and you are
a gaslighting narcissist.

"The fact that you sit around
and tell the most beautiful,

"loving souls
that they hate themselves

"then they clearly don't,

you need
to be fucking executed."

Fuck.

TEAL: This issue
with my haters,

it's just like
this festering wound.

It is so overwhelming,

I don't even know
where to start, so...

- I feel like, especially
in the spiritual field,

people have more expectations
around everything.

TEAL: Mm-hmm.
You do.

Let's say
that you're a pop star,

and people are like, "
That fucking bitch."

Okay, you're just gonna
sell a lot more albums,

'cause people
don't fucking know about you,

and they don't really care
if you're a bitch

if you got good music.

That's not the case
for someone in my career.

If somebody says,
"This person's dangerous,"

and I'm in the business
of healing,

that's no different than
graffitiing "people die here"

on the outside of a hospital.

It prevents people
from coming through the door.

I want the process I take
people through around suicide

to be something that's adopted

in the mainstream
psychology fields,

but I didn't understand

that people thought
it would be possible

that entertaining
the concept of suicide

would cause people
to commit suicide.

JULIANA: Yes.

TEAL: My reputation has been
tarnished to such a degree

I can't seem to make money

in the way
that I need to make money

in order
to fucking fight this stuff.

So I am, like, literally
in a place where I'm like,

"Is the message
that I'm only safe

if I marry a multibillionaire?"

Is that my--this is my answer.

I don't know why you guys
are, like, so quiet.

Do you not feel as powerless
as I feel to this?

BLAKE: Absolutely.
That's why I'm so silent.

- There's a powerlessness,

but there's never a point
where I give up.

I always look for more options.

We hired
a private investigator

to help us
to clear up the facts.

I mean,
it's very clear.

You know, um,

people call her
"The Suicide Catalyst,"

which is absolutely not true.

There is no ground,

and it's the same
with the cult, you know?

People are very easily
talking about a cult,

and it's super damaging.

MOLLY: I'm going to record, if
you would give me permission.

- Okay.
Let me see how to do this.

MOLLY: And I'll
adjust my camera here.

MATTHIAS: So my main concern,
obviously, by hiring you,

is to find out the truth

and to see if there is
something I'm missing,

or you know, what a third party
actually can find out.

- My job is to dig
through the mud

and see if I can find
any nuggets of truth in there.

When someone would say,

"We heard these
horrible things about you,"

and then you can say,
"Well, here.

"Read this.
This is the truth.

"This is a third-party,
independent,

"unedited investigation

that we had no influence
over the content of."

That's basically what I do.

MATTHIAS: That would
definitely be helpful,

so I know at least
where we are, and you know.

MATTHIAS: You know? Yeah.

- I'll go have a--
I'll go have a look.

TEAL: As living beings,
we are hardwired for survival.

But as we all know, sometimes
the painful conditions of life

can overrule that hardwiring,

and instead, we become
motivated towards death.

I want you to know
that I'm going

to be talking to you today
not just from the standpoint

of a spiritual teacher

but also from the standpoint
of a survivor.

And here's the thing:

you've been loosely,
and mostly subconsciously,

toying
with the idea of suicide.

This time, what I'm going
to encourage you to do

is to consciously
imagine committing suicide.

MOLLY: I'm trying
to better understand

why professionals
are very concerned

that this video is not
appropriate for people at risk.

JONATHAN: So as president
of the American Association

of Suicidology,

I get a lot
of the complaints...

- Mm-hmm.
JONATHAN: Saying,

"Visualize your suicide,"
to a video,

not knowing
what the emotional state is

of the person on the other side
who's watching it.

That is problematic, because
there's no way of knowing

if that's actually
gonna work out.

There's
no quality control there,

and I don't think that it's
defensible in a public forum.

- Was there anything
about doing that video

that was scary
or risky-feeling to you?

Did you feel that that could
have actually encouraged you

to take your own life?

FOLLOWER: No.

She's just like, "Imagine that,
and really feel into that,"

so that--
why would that be scary?

I really find it important
to keep videos like that up.

FOLLOWER: You know,
I had psychiatrists tell me

that I was a doormat.

I wasn't getting
any kind of compassion...

- Whoa.
FOLLOWER: Or help.

At the time,
financially and with insurance,

I couldn't always stick
with the same one, you know,

so the healthcare thing
was kind of hit-and-miss.

- They're claiming
that Teal was responsible

for Leslie's demise, and--
FOLLOWER: I know.

[sighs]
Just complete nonsense.

There's nothing I wouldn't do

to help Teal
and to defend her--

how adamant I am about her,
you know, sincere.

JONATHAN: If you're saying
that three people

out of millions of people that
have interacted with Teal--

- That we know of.
JONATHAN: Yeah, that know of.

You would be
really hard-pressed to say,

"These people killed
themselves because of Teal."

- Are you aware
of some of the attacks

that have been made
against her?

FOLLOWER: I try not
to go down that rabbit hole,

because I believe she is
legitimately doing a good thing

and trying to help people.

MOLLY: I have little patience
for pejorative slingers,

but it just seems that,
if you are attractive, period,

it's one of the criterias
for being a target.

Do you feel that,
if you left,

that someone would publicly
shame you for leaving,

for any reason?

FOLLOWER: Are you asking
if we're a cult?

MOLLY:
It's pretty hard to see,

in many of these accusations,

being able to stick when you
start talking to these folks.

[applause]

When you have somebody
who has a lot of followers

and somebody wants
to pick a bone with them,

you just throw
the word "cult" at them,

how to play this game.

We're just gonna have
to roll with it.

All right.
Do I read it?

JULIANA: Mm-hmm.

- And you're putting the one
that you think I would choose?

- Mm-hmm.

BLAKE: I didn't know
if Juliana

would fit well
into the community.

FOLLOWER: You win the card.
FOLLOWER: You win. Yeah.

- "Alternative medicine
is now embracing

the curative powers of..."

"My balls on your face."

"Of looking in the mirror,
applying lipstick,

and whispering, "Tonight, you
will have sex with Tom Cruise."

That could be very healing.

[laughter]

To make this work,

you have to choose Teal's
mission to be your mission.

- Oh, probably this one.
That was pretty funny.

[laughter]

BLAKE:
She fits in with everyone.

I never could have imagined
what my life has become.

I just feel good
about everything in a way.

MOLLY: At what point
in Teal's career

did you enter the picture?

JARED:
I first met Teal in 2012.

I was already having
a hard time in life.

I had just gotten divorced

and went on this,
like, spiritual journey,

trying to find myself.

MOLLY: Uh-huh.

- She always came off as, like,

"There's so much
that you are going to learn.

"There's so much
that I have to teach you.

"Like,
don't throw spirituality away

"just because
you're leaving Mormonism.

There's so much more."

She's trying
to help make a better world.

I want
to make the better world,

and so, I told her,
"Hey, I want to do this.

Hell or high water, I'm gonna
make your vision a reality."

I helped her with the website,

I moved in with her.

MOLLY: Right. Okay,
so then you get involved.

What was she actually selling
at that point?

- Frequency paintings that
had the power to heal people.

MOLLY: Okay.

Did they?

- Well, I was staring

at several that I bought
in my room for several years,

and they did not work.

MOLLY: Okay.

Were you paid anything
for your services?

Were you...

- Um...
MOLLY: Salaried, or--

- I mean,
I was given room and board.

MOLLY: All right.
- Yeah.

MOLLY: Interesting.

Have you ever heard of anybody

choosing
to no longer participate

being ostracized in any way?

- I mean, like,
my exit wasn't very nice.

The moment
the TV camera would go off,

the moment she would go behind
closed door at a conference,

any of that,
it just unleashed.

The last thing--I think
the last thing she told me

as I'm, like, leaving,

and everyone's,
like, ganged up on me,

she said, "If I were you,
I would just go kill myself,

'cause
there's no hope for you."

- Well...

Whoo, that's a lot.

- Oh, it gets a lot
more interesting, Molly.

[laughs]

- [sighs]

JARED:
I wanted this so badly.

I was so washed.

And, like,
when I say I was washed,

she, like,
would constantly ask us,

like, "You're gonna leave me.
You're gonna leave me, Jared.

You're gonna give up
on all this."

And I'm like, "No, I'm not.
No, I won't. I'll do anything."

She's like, "What are you
willing to do for this cause?"

And I told her
I'd be willing to kill someone

and bury them in the backyard.

[sighs]

MOLLY:
It feels like a burden,

that I've found
some of this stuff out,

because now, I'm responsible
for including it

and being honest
about what I found.

It's the Pandora's box you wish
you'd left closed, you know,

but now that it's here,
it's here.

TEAL: Blake, I need to know

where you guys are
on everything.

I need to know
what you're thinking.

I don't feel like
we're on the same page.

Obviously, we haven't
spent enough time together.

- I know.
It's been weeks,

and she's only been here
for weeks.

[laughs]
It's one month yesterday.

I'm thinking of asking

for her to marry me
in two weeks.

- Okay.
Well, thank you for telling me.

What are you thinking?

- Well, I don't know.
I mean, just--

TEAL: Well, do you think
she's on the same page?

Have you guys
talked about this?

- A little bit. Yeah.
TEAL: Well, come on.

What have you guys said?
Like--

BLAKE: We've just been,
like, just planning stuff.

Yeah.

- Two-week proposal leaves you
zero room for rings, Blake.

What are you doing?

- Well, that's--
I'll get a wedding ring.

TEAL: Do you want help
with that?

BLAKE: Yeah.
- Okay.

[Blake chuckles]

How do you feel
about the ending of the saga

of the romantic feelings
towards me?

BLAKE: Ending of that saga?
TEAL: Mm-hmm.

- I mean, I still think
you're sexy as hell.

[Teal snorts]

BLAKE: You know.
- Thank you.

She doesn't react
when you touch me, so...

- Well, she doesn't.
TEAL: I've been watching her.

Has she said anything?

- Well, there has been
no conversation

about my romantic feelings
towards you.

- Good.
There shouldn't be.

She doesn't react.
I've been watching her.

BLAKE: Mm-hmm.
- It's a good thing.

- Yeah.
You know.

- I love this.
BLAKE: I know. Me too.

- She sounds
super compatible, Blake.

- Yeah.

Wow.

TEAL: Good, Blake.

OFFICIANT: Marriage requires
a lot of forgiveness.

It requires respecting
the other person,

even when you disagree
with them.

And it requires
the maturity

to put someone else
before yourself

but not so much that you forget
who you are as an individual.

From this moment on,
nothing in your life

is to take priority
over the comfort and well-being

of the person that you're
holding hands with right now.

- I was given
a list of the things

that people had to agree to to
be part of this inner circle.

- That most of it is illegal.

TEAL: A normal life
is not compatible

with the life
that we are leading.

FOLLOWER: I didn't come here
to keep learning,

and learning,
and learning, and...

TEAL:
You want to know the reality?

If people don't start
doing this kind of work

on themselves--
headed off a cliff.

- I don't feel like
we can force them.

- You literally
just crossed the line.

Now, we have problems.
