Love Has Won

Love Has Won (LHW), also known as the Galactic Federation of Light, is an American new religious movement that was led by Amy Carlson until her death in 2021. Carlson was referred to within the group as "Mother God", who described herself as, among other things, the creator of the universe, with the movement combining New Age spirituality, ideas from Abrahamic religions, conspiracy theories, and popular culture more broadly. The group has been described as a cult by many, including ex-members and media outlets. The group had between twelve and twenty full-time members who lived with Carlson at the time of her death. Following Carlson's death, the group split into several successor groups, including 5D Full Disclosure and Joy Rains. In late 2007, Carlson left her third husband, her children, and her job as a manager at McDonald's, and ceased contact with most members of her family, joining up with Amerith WhiteEagle (Robert Saltsgaver) in Colorado. The group was originally known under the name "Galactic Federation of Light". The group posted their first videos to YouTube in 2009. The group proclaimed that Carlson was a divine, 19-billion-year-old being who had birthed all creation. Carlson claimed she had been reincarnated 534 times, including the use of her previous identities as Jesus, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Marilyn Monroe.
