Actor Andrew Keegan Starts 'New Age' Religion, Leading What He Claims is 'Advanced Spiritualism [VIDEO]
'10 Things I Hate About You' star Andrew Keegan is making headlines for founding a new age religion called Full Circle. The growing group is reportedly not a cult but instead a group of people who are breaking "boundaries."
According to VICE the Venice based group described their movement as "advanced spiritualism" or "the highest spiritualism founded on universal knowledge." VICE reports that one of the followers named Third Eye defined it as something about cosmic energy and ayahuasca.
In a promo video for the "religion" the text "We are leaders, artivists, music, spirit, love, community, co-creating, a new vision for our world," are displayed. Along with b-roll of the group engaged in the many activities they do a song loudly plays in the back ground declaring, "I am the savior, we are the savior, I am the savior, I hear God's whisper."
VICE concluded that their goal is to promote an individual becoming truly themselves outside of defined boundaries.
"Synchronicity. Time. That's what it's all about," Keegan told the publication, "Whatever, the past, some other time. It's a circle; in the center is now. That's what it's about," he said regarding the church's name, Full Circle.
Full Circle members meditate at the service using water crystals. Participants reportedly focus their energy to bring an ending to the conflict with the crystals. "We're very, very aware of the shift that's happening in the mind and the heart, and everybody is on that love agenda," Keegan told VICE, "We're very much scientifically, spiritually, and emotionally aware of how it works, meaning that there's power in the crystals, there's power in our hearts, there's an alignment, there's a resonance... and it transfers through water."
The actor stated he was awakened on March 11, 2011, after being attacked by gang members in Venice Beach. "The significance of this occurrence is that it happened at the same time the tsunami hit Japan," Keegan said, and he related his attack and the natural disasters and believes they played a large role in how "synchronicity" brought him to his calling as the religions leader.
The members of the community maintain that it is not a cult and assure that each core member has a "lot of creative latitude" in the community although Keegan has the final say. "I very much speak what comes through [while] in the collective. We create a resonance of balance and equality of the crew," the 35 year-old actor explained, "When you feel those chakras aligned, there's guided messaging coming in. If there is something of spiritual ego within that, it must not exist."
The group is always keeping busy as seen on their website.
