Hey there Derek, Just trying to get in touch to make a topic suggestion for your Conspirituality podcast - you might want to consider covering Christopher Duncan and the Magnetic Mind Rapid Reset / Superconscious movement. I've experienced great grief and sadness witnessing an old colleague join the movement, she's very intelligent but seems to have lost her critical thinking abilities. I'm not sure if it quite meets the criteria to be classed as a cult, but it certainly comes close, I think.
Yeah? Wow, that's hilarious and scary at the same time. Historically, I've felt incredulous towards movements like that, thinking that nobody with any level of logic or intelligence could take part in them (a myth, I realise, and arrogant/naive of me). Since witnessing my old colleague's involvement, though, that's changed. It's an odd thing to feel the hilarity at the proliferation (kind of like a game of whack-a-mole) and at the same time the sadness and concern for those predated upon by these movements. I'm not sure if you have my email address by virtue of me having commented on your article - but feel free to reply to this comment and let me know if you'd like some more info. I could share a link to my old colleague's videos showing examples of her "training" - not for you to share her name or use her as an example, but it might give you some potential research leads or at least background info if you did decide you wanted to look into covering Christopher Duncan/his movement on the podcast. I wouldn't want to share my email address publicly, but if you don't already have access to it, I could possibly include it in a comment which you could then delete once you've copied the email address down (if you have the ability to delete comments).

Thanks, Lucy. Everywhere I look a dozen more of these pop up 😂
