View source for Carlson, Amy

<h2>Introduction</h2>
Amy Carlson is best known as the leader of the “Love Has Won” movement, presenting herself as a divine figure called “Mother God.” She is not a ufologist in the classic sense, but she is relevant to UAPedia as part of the broader modern ecosystem where UFO beliefs, conspiracies, channeling claims, and New Age movements cross-pollinate.

<h2>Background</h2>
Her public trajectory is primarily documented through reporting and documentary coverage that focuses on the movement’s online growth and internal group dynamics.

<h2>Ufology career</h2>
Carlson’s overlap with ufology is indirect and cultural: the same online spaces that circulate UFO narratives often circulate “ascension,” channeling, and cosmic-war frameworks found in adjacent movements.

<h2>Early work (Year–Year)</h2>
Early visibility came from online messaging and recruitment, with the movement expanding through livestreams and community-building.

<h2>Prominence (Year–Year)</h2>
Her prominence surged through viral attention and later mainstream documentary exposure.

<h2>Later work (Year–Year)</h2>
Later attention focuses on aftermath, the group’s legacy online, and the broader discussion of how fringe movements scale through internet platforms.

<h2>Major contributions</h2>
Her major “contribution,” in a descriptive (not celebratory) sense, is demonstrating how quickly a belief movement can form around a charismatic leader using modern tools: streaming, online donations, and community identity.

<h2>Notable cases</h2>
The “Love Has Won” group itself is the core “case”: an evolving belief system, a leadership structure, and public controversy that drew investigation and media scrutiny.

<h2>Views and hypotheses</h2>
The movement presented an esoteric cosmology and claimed spiritual authority; these claims are typically treated by journalists and researchers as part of a high-control group dynamic rather than evidence-based paranormal fact.

<h2>Criticism and controversies (if notable)</h2>
Carlson and the group are widely criticized for harmful practices and for blending spiritual claims with conspiracy content. Coverage emphasizes risks and exploitation dynamics common to destructive groups.

<h2>Media and influence</h2>
The documentary spotlight made her a widely recognized example in modern cult studies and internet-belief research.

<h2>Selected works</h2>
Primarily documentary coverage and public reporting rather than a stable authored bibliography.

<h2>Legacy</h2>
Carlson’s legacy is a cautionary case study: how online belief ecosystems can intensify into a high-control movement with real-world harm.
