There are so many NewAge cults secretly controlling the Democrats - Ken Wilber's Integral bullshit on the Clintons, Arianna Huffinton's M.S.I.A. on Oprah (which becomes her influence on the Obamas) etc. - it's odd to see one of the left's cult leaders get acknowledged, even long after the guru's death:
For gay men living with HIV and AIDS in the 1980s, their diagnosis was often accompanied by both fear for their lives and shame for having contracted a highly stigmatised disease. In Another Hayride, the US filmmaker Matt Wolf explores how the US self-help guru Louise Hay (1926-2017) gained an ardent following among HIV-positive gay men in Los Angeles, and then among people experiencing trauma throughout the country, by teaching that they could heal themselves through self-love. The short documentary is built from archival footage – the US talk show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Phil Donahue make cameos – and narration from the US writer and minister David Ault, who attended Hay’s weekly ‘Hayride’ support groups. Through his portrait, Wolf offers a nuanced recollection of Hay and her gospel of New Age healing, in which extraordinary compassion and magical thinking both played central roles.
TMR's previously covered this murderous woman, and how her "magical thinking" and "support groups" have disastrously influenced things.
