Evolved ministry

Evolved ministry - Universal Mastery is a small but growing cult, based in Bloomington, Indiana, that propagates fancy phrases like "Universal Connection" and "Unconditional Love" using a variety of buzzwords from physics, mathematics, biology, movies, conspiracy theories, eastern cultural philosophies and much more. Michael Grubb Jr. founded Evolve Ministry about 11 years ago and has garnered a decent following over the years. Grubb was a part of Avatar Energy Institute before he started this cult after he left that cult because of some disagreement.

The cult claims that it can teach it followers powers like Aerokinesis, Hydrokinesis, Telekinesis etc, some of which appear to self coined terms. Michael Grubb rose to popularity after one of his videos got over a million views on YouTube [1]. In the video he can be seen generating blasts of air to move leaves around - when in reality he just adjust his actions as per the movement of the blowing wind. Besides, Bloomington is a windy town and thus a perfect place to pull these shams.

It appears most of his audience are young adults, Star Wars fans, Matrix fans and anime fans besides some dumb adults. His channel is highly censoring in nature especially to comments of critical analysis. Like any other falsehood propagator he refers to his critics as brainwashed people or unbelievers. The biggest damaging factor of his videos is his propagation of pseudoscience to make it seem that his powers are real. He has used typical buzzwords like 'quantum', 'magnetism', 'universe', 'conciousness' etc to falsely showcase his understanding of science. With no background of any kind in Science, Grubb is essentially a social reject that has resorted to spreading misinformation as a result of his own poor understanding of science and interpretation of nature around him. Grubb claims to have a degree in telecommunications engineering from Indiana University but Indiana University does not offer any programs relating to Telecommunications Engineering. Indiana University started its engineering school in 2016.[1]

Autobiographical bio

Formerly immersed into politics, the spreading of awareness, and the collective process of evolution. --However...THINGS CHANGE...and they change according to participation, immersion, and demand. Currently, I am a teacher here in Bloomington, Indiana of "Self-Mastery," which attempts to teach the process of personal and collective evolution to those who seek "the path."When not teaching, I spend most of my time engaged in some form of creation or another. I am accented and made better by my beautiful significant other.Finally...I am a musician, an Audio/Video editor and engineer, drummer, singer, guitarist, bassist, martial artist, artist, former fight competitor, meditation trainer, martial arts and hand-to-hand combat instructor, amongst many other interests. My only real message in life is to embrace Unconditional LOVE so that you may TRULY REMEMBER the divinity of those in which you share space, and the heights from which YOU CAME. This illusion will not last forever...and one day REALITY WILL RETURN. -Through the process of LOVE you will be prepared.

His most common practice tools include the Pinwheel on a windy day, leaves or ripples in water. It is unclear if he truly believes the nonsense he speaks about as he is selling courses to transmit his misunderstood worldview.

Grubb also claims that he was abducted by aliens and that they gave him all the knowledge, wisdom and taught him about these powers. He also considers himself as some sort of a savior who goes from one universe to another, revealing universal connection to humans - similar to Neo in the matrix.

Grubb has two of his salesmen also selling his courses when he is not around. They have their own channels by the names Joel Jacobson and Daniel Atlas. They also help him filter all the critical comments made on his videos.

He and his henchmen are exactly among those charlatans, Carl Sagan warns about in his book "The Demon Haunted world". The lack of understanding of science in the world has resulted in people like Michael Grubb have as many as 30,000 followers. This is especially has a negative impact on young children as it may severely impair their understanding of the physical world, leading to more cults like the flat earth society in the future.

Evolved ministry is selling it's fake teachings in the form of premium courses on teachable.com. Their laughable mini resumes can be found here.

gollark: By somewhat narrow margins, but it consistently beats the normal grudger.
gollark: And my slightly improved grudger... wins utterly, great.
gollark: I'll make it run 50 times and sum them.
gollark: Except it's also sort of bad because I only see a small slice of the distribution because the execution engine this has is very apioform.
