Rumors Swirl Around Cyrus and Mendes Joining Modern Mystery Cult

Miley Cyrus' Situation:

Speculation arose when Miley Cyrus was seen less in public following her album release, "Endless Summer Vacation," in March 2023. She has been teasing the release of a new single titled "Used To Be Young," but her relative silence led some to believe she had joined the Modern Mystery School. This theory gained traction after a TikTok video discussing these rumors went viral. The rumor seems to have originated from a picture of Cyrus with two women, Lily Ashwell and Blue, known to be associated with the Modern Mystery School, and a photo of her attending a lecture by the school with 'Know Thyself' – the school's maxim – in the background (Dazed).

The Modern Mystery School claims to train and certify healing practitioners and teachers in the lineage of King Salomon, focusing on spiritual healings and metaphysical teachings. An investigation by Vice in 2021 described the organization as a "cult" and "spiritual pyramid scheme," where students reported psychological trauma, spiraling debts, relationship breakdowns, bullying, and manipulation, among other issues (Dazed).

Miley Cyrus has not publicly commented on these rumors. However, her sister Brandi appeared to dismiss them, suggesting that fans might be inventing theories due to Miley's social media silence and lack of public performances (Dazed).

Shawn Mendes' Situation:

Shawn Mendes reportedly became a member of the Modern Mystery School while keeping a low profile after canceling his world tour in mid-2022 due to mental health concerns. The rumors suggest he felt "lost" and "susceptible" during this time. Fans connected his social media activities and associations with people linked to the Mystery School, fueling these speculations. Additionally, he has been linked romantically to a member of the school, Charlie Travers (AceShowbiz).

In June 2022, Mendes announced the cancellation of his "Wonder: The World Tour," stating the need to focus on his mental health and promising future music and tours once he had time to heal (AceShowbiz).

It's important to note that these are rumors and speculations, and neither Shawn Mendes nor Miley Cyrus have confirmed any involvement with the Modern Mystery School. Additionally, I couldn't access some sources that might have provided further insights.
