The idea of a cult’s leader being unable to get medical help because their followers wouldn’t allow it due to how they had been programmed is absolutely wild. It would make for a really fascinating story.

[@karawigley6231]

It would make for a really fascinating story? That’s exactly what happened irl, that’s the story. No need to make one when one could just tell this one.

[@JP-wx6uh]

Fascinating that mental illness can progress to the point of lethality in indirect and incredibly destructive ways for both the mentally ill individuals and those around them.

[@JP-wx6uh]

​@@karawigley6231The person is saying it would be a fascinating movie or book.

[@blakeveracruz122]

@@karawigley6231they’re just pointing out how it’s ironic the way she died, indirectly by her own hand. No need to be pedantic and act holier than thou.

Crestone resident here. You described it very eloquently but also a bit inaccurate. There are many religious and spiritual centers here but there are even more scary, questionable and downright crazy people. The area is tragically under the curse of drug abuse and unfortunately that is what you will notice most here. Amy and her group fit in well in that regard as she was a raging alcoholic. Her teachings were not accepted by the residents here and they were asked to leave many times. The Hawaiians had it right when they forced them out. Trouble seemed to follow them wherever they went, even in Shasta where Any supposedly died. The members were all arrested after her corpse was discovered but all the charges were dropped when cause of death could not be identified. I would love to say that Love Has Won made the town look crazy but the reality is that’s just the nature of the people here. I will be leaving the Valley next month and I will never look back. To all that will come to see the town after learning about it from this mess, be very careful. It is not the spiritual heaven it appears to be…

Thanks for revealing more details in your comment. Although I love hippie culture and have studied world religions/new age beliefs quite a bit myself, I have noticed that the mentally ill and perpetually addicted seem to flock to these types of places. Hearing about Krystal Reisinger’s r@pe and disappearance from Crestone (let’s face it: she was murdered) has made me think twice about stopping in to visit Crestone. It does seem like a mountain paradise of sorts (I personally love the Rockies- I used to live in Salt Lake City and I’d take road trips to Colorado during the summer), but even paradise can come with a price…Best of luck on your journey!!!

[@michaelmiranda178]

I noticed the same pattern. When people reject diagnosis or cant get treatment for whatever reason- they seem to turn to all sorts of pseudo spiritualities- i think psychologists call it magical thinking. I think it’s because it’s easier to mold it to an individual’s specific delusions and symptoms, as opposed to traditional, more rigidly structured religions. I hope this gets studied more, and i hope we continue to expand our understanding of mental health, so that these toxic feedback loops become a thing of the past. So tragic!

[@naiakiki]

As a lifelong colorado mountain resident, yes, lots of weird stuff going on there. I do love to visit crestone to hike, see friends, visit the ashram and hot springs. But I've also heard such crazy things from friends about what goes on there. The whole valley has a very intense vibe. I don't think I could live there

[@connieh9581]

I hope you made it out of there and to a better place.

[@wildlightarts]

The shadowy underbelly of these "spiritual communities" are downright chilling. Having escaped other guru cultlike dangerous nonsense in other "vortex high vibe" valley communities, I'm glad you have the ability to get away too. I wish LE and Intel Agencies would do more to address cults and all the damages and mayhem they cause, before all the devistation takes hold.

[@abraxasjinx5207]

Making "coloidal silver" out of melted lighter tops is the most methed out business model yet.

[@deonawallace396]

You are seriously in line for a huge spike in views and subs. I truly believe in and love this channel

[@pandoxvideos]

Thanks for the encouraging words! I’m grateful for your support!

[@alro2434]

Saw a guy 50 years ago with purple skin, he died a few months after. Didn't know until years later that the skin color was from colloidal silver, a completely bogus alternative medicine that is STILL popular for unknown reason.

[@JosephQPublic]

Because maybe it’s not bogus?

[@amandamandy3970]

@@JosephQPublic right bc antibiotics are the real evil here, not the outdated barbaric practice of poisoning yourself with heavy metals to fight cancer (which, mind you, isn't a bacterial infection and would never respond to colloidal silver even if it was a legitimate practice, but yknow)

[@kiereanm3254]

The fact that they were run off of the island of Kauai by locals throwing coconuts at their windows is still so hilarious to me. God I love Hawaii

[@TheDonLemonSnickety]

The coconut is and always will be a vastly underestimated tool of some hilarious looking resistance. If I wasn't married to the horseshoe crab for the same purpose, coconuts it would be, and I'd no doubt have the post revolution save a lil cost by puttin spilled juice to good use n sipping Malibu Bay Breezes.

[@Toiletman24]

Just sayin this before I've watched the vid. You make great vids man, keep the good work up and you're gonna blow up soon

[@pandoxvideos]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@SirRed5000]

Incredible as per usual. It's insane that you only have 20k subs because the quality of these videos is off the charts. Just know that the amount of work you put into these videos shines through

[@pandoxvideos]

For anyone else who is interested in quasi-religious, New Ageist, and esoteric cults like the Love Has Won cult, I recommend _Controversial New Religions_ and _Sacred Suicide._ These two books are great places to start.

[@pandoxvideos]

Thanks for the book recommendations and expanding the convo for those interested!

[@simonhaleanderson]

Most underrated channel on KZbin! Love the work!

[@pandoxvideos]

Wow, thank you. That's very kind of you to say.

[@keyan5407]

Its must have be terrifying though the eyes of the "mother god" who's insanity doomed her. she begged to go the hospital but her followers were so mad that they thought the hospital could not help her. she died because of the monster she made.

[@aidanheaney5301]

Here before this channel blows up!!!

[@darklion53]

Been to Crstone a few times and it's such a weird town. It's got some cool stuff though, their grocery store has some awesome meats and cheeses from the valley. The drive through all the religious centers is pretty interesting to see as well. The San Luis Valley as a whole is amazing though. I absolutely love it there. It's stunningly beautifully and has some cool places to see. I've also seen some eerie lights there too. It wasn't in the sky but on the ground level or so. Saw it half mile away in a little valley and figured it was a cabin, but finding it later on Google Maps show nothing there and no real trails to get to it.

[@caitybug8424]

I keep being blessed with all these awesome channels who cover the most interesting and creepy topics. I'm so glad! Your choice of music is perfect. Gives this cult and it's story Hereditary vibes. Wish you growth

[@RubyJeans943]

My son's late traditional Lakota grandmother visited this community in the early 2000s after her friends took her there. She did NOT like it. At all. The area gave her the creeps.

[@justarandomname420]

The Ute claim there is a 'rainbow vortex' (unsure of actual terminology) above Willow Lake just outside of Crestone. They didn't have anything good to say about the area either, and actively avoided it. Always listen to intuition.

[@viciousdope66]

Another awesome video on this channel. I’ve been obsessed by all things cult-related for years now (Heaven’s Gate; OSHO and Rajneeshpuram; the cult of Davidito, aka “The Love Family”; The Source Family and Father Yod; etc…). HBO is supposedly in production on a documentary about Amy Carlson and “Love Has Won”. I hope they can shed more light on this situation. At the moment it all sounds like a tragedy swirling around the drain, headed into the abyss…

[@arandomidiot1593]

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of another instance of a cult leader who claimed to have healing powers that died because their followers barred them from seeking medical aid. And I won’t lie, I find it kind of funny.

I was in Crestone earlier this summer when I visited the Sand Dunes. My only gripe with this video is that you pronounced Salida as “Suh-lee-tuh” and not “Suh-lie-duh”. Good vid tho
