After the 2021 discovery of Amy Carlson's mummified body and the partial dispersal of Love Has Won, multiple splinter online communities continue to recruit, including 5D Full Disclosure (Aurora Ray) and other mother-god / cosmic-intelligence-channelling networks. The CLCI captures these continuing high-control online communities.

We cite sources by name and outlet rather than fabricating links. Where a source includes its own URL, the open ↗ link opens it directly; otherwise search ↗ runs a Google Scholar query for the cited title — useful for verifying academic sources. For news outlets, search the outlet's own archive.
