The Love Has Won cult attracted national attention a few months ago when leader, Amy Carlson, 45, was found dead at their headquarters in a mobile home southwest of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Her body might have been moved from Oregon (one of their bases) to Colorado headquarters for worship purposes. The cause of death is unclear. She might have had cancer. After she died, her body was mummified in a sleeping bag. Her glittered body had no eyes (unclear about whether they were closed, plucked out, cut out????) and was wrapped in Christmas lights, propped up in a bedroom like a make-shift shrine. She was dead for weeks before the police got involved. Members refused to accept her death.
Two children were found at the Colorado headquarters, and one of them was placed into child protective services. Seven cult members were arrested for child abuse and tampering with a dead body.
Amy Carlson grew up in Dallas and was a straight "A" student. The Love Has Won cult began in 2006 with her chosen as its leader. She left her job at McDonald's, her third husband, and her children to lead the organization full time. The group existed before her as the Galactic Federation of Light.
One of Amy's talents was communicating with angels. These angels offered spiritual intuitive ascension sessions. She claimed to be 500 billion years old and reincarnated over 500 times. Some of the people she used to be were Cleopatra, Jesus, Joan of Arc, and Marilyn Monroe. Amy believed she would ascend in a starship or disappear through a portal in the ocean. Amy claimed she could heal illnesses and lead 144,000 people into the 5th Dimension. She also claimed to be the Queen of Lemuria (think Plato and Atlantis). According to her, Donald Trump was her father in another life, and she communicated with Robin Williams who is now an archangel. Other beliefs within the cult centered around reptillian conspiracy theories and links to QAnon.
Amy Carlson's followers believed she was the planet Earth who was put inside of a woman's body. Her title was Mother God. She had many romantic links who were given the title as Father God. Together, they were thought to have formed the universe. Apparently, there was some alcohol abuse going on. Mother God drank around ten shots of vodka every night. She also consumed silver. Full time cult members who lived with her were considered to be homeless potheads.
