"Mother God" Amy Carlson: Dr. Phil's Investigation & Death

03 May, 2025

How does a person transition from managing a fast-food restaurant to claiming divinity and leading a new religious movement? The story of Amy Carlson, the self-proclaimed "Mother God" and leader of the "Love Has Won" cult, is a chilling journey of delusion, exploitation, and a tragic end that continues to fascinate and horrify in equal measure.

The tale begins in Kansas, where Amy Carlson was born on November 30, 1975. As a child, according to her sister, she showed no unusual traits. Yet, the path she would take would lead her far from the ordinary. This transformation culminated in her emergence as the leader of "Love Has Won," a group that would become notorious for its bizarre beliefs and controversial practices. The group was also known as the "Galactic Federation of Light."

Carlson's rise to notoriety gained significant traction after her appearances on the popular daytime talk show, "Dr. Phil." These appearances, particularly the episode that aired on September 14, 2020, during the 19th season, served as a crucial platform for exposing the inner workings of "Love Has Won" and the claims of its leader.

The "Dr. Phil" episodes served as a crucial platform for showcasing Carlson's claims and confronting her family's concerns. The show's format, which often involves in-depth interviews and confrontations, provided a stark look into the dynamics of the cult and the impact it had on its members and their families. This appearance was not her first. The prior year, the "Dr. Phil" show also featured Carlson's cult, highlighting how she told followers she could repair people's brains and perform spiritual healings.

The core tenets of "Love Has Won" revolved around Carlson's self-proclaimed divinity. She claimed to be "Mother God," a 19-billion-year-old being, a reincarnation of Jesus, and the creator of the universe. She also asserted she could heal people of illnesses, including cancer, "with the power of love." This was the kind of promises she gave to her followers.

The reality, however, was far more tragic. In April, Colorado sheriff's deputies made a grim discovery: Carlson's mummified body was found in a home in Saguache County, wrapped in Christmas lights. The saguache county coroner's report revealed the cause of death as alcohol abuse, anorexia, and the chronic ingestion of colloidal silver.

Andrew Profaci, a former member of the group, stated that he wasn't surprised by her passing. He noted that she was in declining health. In her final days, Carlsons health was deteriorating visibly. Her appearance on the "Dr. Phil" show, where she remotely appeared from Kauai, highlighted the extreme nature of her claims and the concerns of her family. This appearance only intensified scrutiny.

The show also delved into the accusations of abuse and the inner workings of the cult. After Kramer and Raymond were released from jail, they spoke with CBS4's Rick Sallinger. They spoke about the possibility of Carlson's reincarnation. The discovery of her mummified body and the subsequent revelations exposed the group's internal dynamics, leading to a deeper understanding of the tragic circumstances surrounding her death.

This case also raises the question of how an individual can ascend from seemingly ordinary beginnings to claim such extraordinary status. In the case of Amy Carlson, the transition appears to have been gradual. Starting as a McDonald's manager, she gradually moved into a position of influence through the use of online platforms and exploiting the vulnerabilities of her followers. The cult's emphasis on spiritual remedies, including colloidal silver, also stands out. The group was taking "spiritual remedies" instead of the traditional methods of treatment.

The media's portrayal of "Mother God" has contributed to her notoriety. The repeated appearances on "Dr. Phil" brought her story to a wide audience. Her family reached out to "Dr. Phil" as a "last resort," seeking a platform to expose the cult's practices and the impact on their loved ones. However, it is important to note that the case's details have sparked significant debate among those who watched the iconic talk show.

Shasta is a known location for new age activity and attracts individuals from around the globe who seek spiritual enlightenment, which is probably why the Love Has Won group also settled there.

The "Love Has Won" headquarters became a focal point of scrutiny, with police investigations uncovering further details about the group's activities and the circumstances surrounding Carlson's death. The case has exposed the dangers of cults and the potential for charismatic leaders to exploit followers' vulnerabilities for their own gain.

This is a story of delusion, manipulation, and a disturbing end. Amy Carlson's journey from a McDonald's manager to the "Mother God" of a controversial cult offers a sobering look at the human desire for belonging, purpose, and the susceptibility to charismatic figures who promise easy answers.
