    Up in Flames

    Well that was way too easy, right? So no pun intended still applies, right? Talking about right (and wrong - yes I went there too), I had not heard of this before even though there seems to be another documentary about the same topic (people) ... seems like they really left a dent. I reckon trying to bring people together is lucrative ... but also if you are one searching for your soulmate ... well beware because people will take advantage of that fact.

    Now you can make up your own mind about what you want to believe at first ... let's just say that it will become quite apparent what happened - very early on. It is not that the signs weren't there ... but if you want to believe something so bad ... you ignore those things.

    Good interviews, good background and good research done.

    Brilliant comedy

    One of the best comedies I've ever seen. Every single moment is a face palm. Every character is a quack. The journalist found the goldmine.

    We have a black American who thinks her blackness is loneliness while believing every person is lonely and depressed, the irony and offence escapes her. We have a taro reading transgender woman who is obsessed a conservative man, again the irony.

    What they all share in common, is that they all identify as "spiritual" people who believe in "energies" and believe that with enough obsession (choosing love) then their idol (twin flame) will reciprocate their obsession and they'll manifest each other as each other's super spiritual soul mates who will complete each other, all by paying a monthly subscription that they can't afford, and delegating their autonomy to some cult leaders, who they worship because the leaders embrace their cashcows, are attentive, and speak the same mumbo jumbo the subjects believe but with conviction instead humility; which for people who only have the facade of confidence, means and is the world to them.

    They are moths who are drawn to the flame, and then blame the flame. Don't be a moth, and you won't worship the flame. Don't idolise, and you won't worship false idols. Don't believe everyone is secretly flawed like you, and you'll start becoming someone worth being.

    Superior to the Netflix Documentary

    There's a Netflix Documentary on the same two insanely freaky married couple who pretend to be channeling God, are New Age ripoff artists, and are filthy rich because of who might very well be the dumbest, most lonely and pathetic people on the planet... their followers...

    This doc is much, much better, and is more centered on the couple and their history while the Netflix centers on a group of mothers whose daughters have joined this freaky online cult where....

    Well it's just too bizarre to explain, too bizarre to be real, you have to see this, you have to witness and experience yourself how really truly weird this cult is... just imagine a cross between Satanic New Age mysticism, a pyramid scheme (or Amway on steroids) and The Dating Game if hosted by Rod Serling...

    Props for the female narrating journalist Alice Hines: she stood up to these two charlatans, and it's just insane that they're still allowed to rip people off...

    Then again, as the old saying goes, if you don't believe in anything, you'll pretty much buy anything.

    A FEW NOTES:

    1) People are saying that these two aren't "charismatic" like most cult leaders, Jim Jones, Manson, etc. But I think that Jeff is deliberately being the anti-cult-leader cult-leader. The jokey Christ-man with a man-bun. The coffee shop crystal-healing girl's dream boyfriend/husband. Or something.

    2) The one interviewee "gender expert" compared the couple to conservatives/Christians because of the whole man/woman thing. This cult-couple are far from conservative and are as anti-Christian as you can possibly get. They are new age hippies, which is Buddhism for modern times, and they're as liberal left-wing as you can possibly be. It's funny that, the only time politics get compared to them, in a negative way, they're somehow conservative. Just amazing. Simply incredible how the left cannot ever admit that their very own wolves targets the weak sheep.

    3) Seeing Alice wearing a Covid mask makes me think she fell for another false cult while exposing THIS false cult. I cannot believe people wore masks everywhere they went. What's funny is that even the freaky cult couple are smart enough NOT to wear a mask. That tells you something. It's like Manson being not crazy enough for Scientology.

    4) The Netflix documentary is based on the Vice article that Alice intentionally progressed from, which is why this is a much better, deeper and more exposing doc. I've watched it twice in a row so I am HOOKED despite these critiques.

    5) The so-called pyramid-scheme coaches are just as guilty of robbing people as their leaders are of robbing them. All should be ashamed here. All these people are scum (except the ones smart enough to get out of it... but how on earth could they have been so stupid to have joined in the first place?) And what's really heartbreaking is Briana and the girl from Amsterdam. Both are utterly adorable young ladies and it's insane that they would need these charlatans to help them hook a man, or that they'd need anyone at all...

    Basically, anyone who fell for these new-age con artists ARE lonely new-agers that should realize what/who they fell for, and start rethinking their dislike of organized religion... I've been Christian all my life and never had to PAY ONE CENT for it.

    (Also, anyone who wants to quench your thirst on this cult, go to the YouTube show Let The Fresh Erin, she takes apart this cult and it's both moving and hilarious)

    Glad They're Exposed!!

    Am a twin flame. Years ago right off the bat, I saw Jeff & Shalia were scammers. I met my twin flame in 2017 and didn't understand it so searched on the internet for answers.

    Jeff & Shelea's youtube videos popped up but their messaging didn't align with REAL spiritual leader messaging. Twin Flame is a type of spiritual awakening NOT a relationship goal. Twin Flames pop into your life for spiritual advancement NOT romantic union. It is incredibly rare for twins to come into "harmonious union". Twins trigger & mirror core wounding to cause exponential spiritual growth. 9 times out of 10 this is the case.

    Jeff & Shelia warped Twin Flame messaging, they manipulated people, they pretended for money, and they will reap the karma they have sown. This documentary exposes their BS and goes in depth at the levels of manipulation especially Jeff shows - his narcissism is a trip.

    One of the Weirdest Cults I've Ever Seen

    People usually join cults because they think there's some kind of higher religious purpose and cult leaders have repeatedly used this as an easy way to sexually abuse members. What makes the Twin Flames Universe so weird is that romance and sex are the entire premise - essentially Jeff and Shaleia promise spiritual fulfillment by finding your "twin flame" - a person more intense than a soulmate, who you've known throughout lifetimes. Whether you believe in this concept or not, the subsequent cult that evolved from this concept couldn't be more obviously toxic or wacko if it tried.

    Shaleia was an insecure young woman who had new age spiritual beliefs when she met charming malignant narcissist and possible sociopath, Jeff, a young man hoping to own his own business. It's fairly obvious she's under the spell of an attractive narcissist, and that he's thrilled to have constant narcissistic supply in the form of a compliant and obedient woman conforming to traditional gender roles. They couldn't be more reflective of manic street preacher and quiet wife in church if they were evangelical Christians. The way she silently nods or murmurs yes in reply to his ravings and rantings on YouTube would be comical if they weren't so creepy.

    These two lovebirds take advantage of emotionally unstable and obsessive love/sex addicts by literally encouraging them to stalk people who rejected them or broke up with them. They claim they'll get the person back if only they accept responsibility for manifesting the situation with a mirror exercise. The elements that really take the cake, though, are that Jeff and Shaeia claim to get messages from God about who someone's twin flames are and even pressured people into gender roles and sex changes in an attempt to conform to their cult's ideology.

    Seriously, people, if a religious leader tells you stalking someone who never wants to see you again is God's will, it's a cult.
