Weird Reads with Emily Louise
The new age world is murky, filled with ascended masters, violet flames and people talking about their "I AM presence" - but where did all of that come from?
In the 1930's, Guy & Edna Ballard started their cult of I AM - a new age religious movement and offshoot of Helena Blavatsky's theosophical teachings, and the work of neo-theosophists like Alice Bailey and C.W Leadbeater. They were guided by the ascended masters - a group of spiritual advisors that Guy, Edna and their son Donald claimed to have direct contact with, including Jesus and St Germain.
But behind the brightly coloured charts and strangely aesthetically appealing artwork, lies a more sinister story, connecting this world of new age woo-woo directly to f*scists and right-wing ideology that's still very much present to this day.
