22. A Look at Teal Swan, New Age Cults and Satanic Panic w/Lauren of The Zen Blonde

We're doing a deep dive into The Deep End, the Teal Swan documentary about her new age cult and what this represents about the new age movement as a whole. We look at the way Teal uses manipulation tactics and preys on people at their weakest points - and how this is pervasive throughout the spiritual world.

We discuss:

-How and why Teal Swan allegedly plants false memories in people

-What is the "satanic panic" and how the psychologist who pioneered this movement treated Teal as a child

-Our own experiences with extreme spiritual practise and the parallels to Teal's world

Then we get into WTF the actor on the loose Ezra Miller has been up to lately.
