Full Circle is based on synchronicity and “activated peace,” out of Venice Beach

Former ‘90s teen heartthrob Andrew Keegan, best known for his role on the big screen in “10 Things I Hate About You” and in television in “7th Heaven,” has started his own religion. It’s called Full Circle and, he explains to Vice magazine, it’s all about “synchronicity.”

In an industry where celebrity is often equaled to deity, it’s not that uncommon to learn that our favorite stars, be they more or less popular, become “spokespersons” for various religious movements. Perhaps the most mediated examples are those of Tom Cruise and John Travolta’s involvement in the Church of Scientology, and Madonna and Demi Moore’s in Kabbalah.

However, Keegan seems to have taken this involvement one step further: he isn’t just a high-profile member of a religious group, he actually founded it and is the official leader.

The actor tells the publication that the revelation came to him one night in 2011, when he and a couple of his friends were attacked by members of a Venice Beach gang. He ended up in hospital, requiring stitches, but at the same time, he was enlightened about his mission: the attack happened on the same day that the tsunami hit Japan, and he knew this was no ordinary coincidence.

There are no coincidences in this world, he says.

“Synchronicity. Time. That's what it's all about. Whatever, the past, some other time. It's a circle; in the center is now. That's what it's about,” Keegan says, explaining the name of the church.

He describes Full Circle as a “conscious social movement” meant to “provide an experimental environment designed to creatively expand consciousness through visual and performing arts, movement classes, workshops, forums and healing therapies.”

The video embedded below, at the end of this article, best explains who Full Circle members are and how they plan to change the world. Because, make no mistake about it, that’s the stated mission of the group, to “take the war out of our story, which is essentially peace, but activated peace.”

They’re now working on ending the conflict between Israel and Palestine by doing sessions with water crystals, Vice reports. Keegan is positive that they’re on the right track.

“We’re very, very aware of the shift that’s happening in the mind and the heart, and everybody is on that love agenda. 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,” he tells the mag.

Keegan is identified as the official leader of Full Circle and he’s always surrounded by an inner circle of 8 core members. However, he has the final say on all decisions. Vice reports that the number of members is on the rise, but doesn’t mention a specific figure.
