441 | Desteni I Witness – Is Desteni a Cult?

Cults in a strict sense are exclusive groupings where people are manipulated through certain belief systems to follow certain rules, often established through delusional promises for what people believe to lack or what people desire, such as power, enlightenment, radiance, you name it. Sometimes practices and rituals are involved, and here you can have a look at how spiritual gurus function and work.

Cults further more are mostly based on hierarchical structures, where there is a leader and there is followers, and in a way everyone is striving to become a master of sorts, refusing in most cases to see that where there is hierarchy there is inequality, and where there are masters there will be slaves. Not to mention the financial aspect of cults and such hierarchical structures.

Now, as I’ve said I’ve been researching Desteni since 2007 and have also visited the Desteni farm where I stayed for almost three years, and never has anyone forced any beliefs upon me or forced me to do anything, never were there any rituals or practices of any kind involved nor has anyone tried to manipulate me or my will. There is no leader or master in the Desteni group, nor is there any form of hierarchy.

On the contrary, the principle is oneness and equality of life, where life is acknowledged as the ‘highest value’ and thus the realization that the ‘highest’/’best’ we can be in this one life on earth is to be equals in life - which means to respect each-other as life and to care for and support all life equally. This principle applied throughout all our systems would ensure for instance the end of all abuse and exploitation and would dignify life and our co-existence as humanity.

I mean it is such a simple principle, in fact representing the words of Jesus in many ways, and from what I have observed in terms of people attacking Desteni, is that there is always an agenda of self-interest or fear of loss of some kind of privileges that one feels are threatened if life on earth would be based on oneness and equality.

If one would study the abundance of material available at Desteni, one would see that the Desteni research reveals how manipulation works/functions and is used in this world, how the human consciousness can be directed through belief systems, through fears and desires, how the system works and how the human mind functions –

and through this research anyone is able to utilize the simple tools of self-honesty, self-investigative writing, self-forgiveness and self-corrective statements in self-responsibility to remove the veils of (self-)deception, see through the system of abuse, and stand-up and become an effective human being that can see things for what they are and no longer be gullible to deception, manipulation, brainwashing and mind control, or the empty promises of consumerism in all its facets.

In a wider sense, this world consists of different 'cults' separated from each-other in groups, defined by their differences, each 'cult' trying to 'protect' itself against the others, trying to be the best, the one that wins, because "the winner takes it all" - the 'elite' being obviously the ultimate 'cult' and the ultimate 'winner' when it comes to life on earth. In this whole game we have come to completely disregard our common origin, our common ground, our common sense in this physical existence.
Thing is, masters can only exist when there are slaves accepting and allowing this bipolar relationship of control. What I'm saying is that we are all responsible for the current condition on our planet. At Desteni we investigate how we got here and how we can practically and in fact stop being slaves and stand-up to take responsibility for life, for ourselves, for each-other.

We have a world in pieces unable to find peace, because in the realms of religion, culture, society, peer-groups, financial groupings, etc., what is cultivated is self-interest, fear, prejudice - the 'need for survival' no matter the cost for life as a whole.
The devastating results of such existence can be seen in the crises we are facing as humanity, whereby in our 'struggle for survival' and competition for resources and power: we have depleted the earth of its natural resources and have allowed for 2/3 of the world's population to exist in inhumane conditions, while we don't care as long as we are 'surviving' and the horrific daily news are not affecting us personally.
It is simply insane.

What is more insane is that such groupings and the whole culture of separation is based on mental belief systems, deliberately created to control the human through fear and inequality.

I mean the only reason the human is able to be controlled is because the human is lacking self-realization as oneness and equality, as life. The human is in fact inferior to everything in this world, yet the human will mostly attempt to seem or feel superior through 'knowledge' and 'wisdom', in spite of the obvious common sense that the knowledge and wisdom of this world system should be questioned, as it is not bringing forth any desirable outcome for life in any way whatsoever.

Desteni is a group of people, an internet community mainly that, given the above realizations, agree that "enough is enough" and that in common sense life should exist as one group, within systems/structures that are best for all, for we are all here together on this one earth, subject to the same conditions and requirements for a life in dignity and free from fear.
So, instead of cultivating fear, separation, control, and a system of deception and exploitation – at Desteni we cultivate ourselves as life, re-defining our existence practically to be based on the value of life, walking the self-realization of life as oneness and equality in all possible ways of practical living.
Because it is clear that what Earth requires, what humanity requires is a culture of life, a culture of unity, a culture of respect, a culture of individuals that see themselves as equals of life and that will stand up for life and make sure that this system of abuse, deception, exploitation and inequality is transformed/changed, and that we as mankind manifest and establish a new system of actual life-support for all life on earth.

So we took the process of self-honesty and self-realization one step further and realize that it is not enough to simply change ourselves, we must change the conditions of the system, because the system will form the next generation, and in a world where your future depends on the conditions you are born into, you are simply a product of the system, and so many are born into poverty, hunger, starvation, war, abuse, exploitation and have thus no choice but to exist at the brink of survival, where life equals struggle and with no opportunity of changing their fate.

Therefore it is vital that upon the realization of life as oneness and equality as well as our interconnectedness as life, we stand-up to not only change ourselves but also take responsibility for the ecosystem and all systems of our world – the systems that manage our survival, our co-existence and make sure that the systems we create are supporting life and not the cult of consumerism and profit.

A basic living income is the least we can do to transform the all-consuming version of capitalism from a life-exploiting system into a life-support system, ensuring that all life is equally supported and given in fact equal opportunities to live, express and expand.

440 | Desteni I Witness – Debunking the Cult / Scam Rumors

This post can also be read in the context of

Day 425 | Planet Earth: Home of Egos. Desteni Predictions Stand the Test of Time

As many of you know I have been involved with the Desteni group since 2007 and have also visited the Desteni farm where the ‘founders’ of the movement live, albeit the Desteni movement is an international internet community that mainly work as internet activists.

I have seen that several fellow ‘Destonians’ – which by the way means nothing more and nothing less than the people embracing the principle of equality and oneness and introspecting in a process of ‘man know thyself’ to investigate where this principle which, when lived/applied would support life as a whole and thus all of us as life, where within oneself and one's life this principle is not being lived/applied and where and how we separate ourselves into concepts of inferiority and superiority, aka Ego, with the consequence that self-interest is placed before the interest of life, hence the current world system as a direct outflow/result of who we all are / who each individual is and how we co-exist –

...so I’ve seen that many fellow Destonians have recently published blogs and vlogs responding to (mainly) anonymous rumors about Desteni and the equal money movement being a cult or a scam and they shared their personal perspectives in terms of how they got to know the Desteni group, how they got involved in the various projects, how they started working on themselves, and what results they have achieved within themselves and their world.

I will be writing my own Desteni I Witness Report because not only have I been involved in various projects (such as the Desteni Forums, the Equal Money System, the Shave Your Head for World Equality campaign, the Desteni I Process courses) but I have also visited the farm myself, thus I have a first hand experience and have literally been an Eye-Witness to what the Desteni group is and what Desteni presents and represents.

I will also be looking into the ‘hater’ phenomenon and the methods/tactics used by such (mostly anonymous) haters that cultivate cognitive disinformation and fear.

Here you can also have a look at my Anti-Hate Youtube channel, where I have uploaded some responses to such hater-posts and debunked the misleading words they present.

In this blog post I would like to summarize the main points that I have shared on this throughout the past 4-5 years, just to give an overview, a contextualized introduction. I will also share the links to the recent witness reports at the bottom of this blog post.

The main reason I embraced the Desteni message was the principle of equality and oneness as well as the premise that knowledge and information alone is useless – therefore this principle must be lived and applied within everything we do/participate-in/create as human beings, including the world system that is in fact our (all of us) creation. This practical approach that emphasizes the practical aspect of self-responsibility was something new, I had never throughout my truth-seeker years encountered any similar approach or wake-up call whatsoever;

which is also what got me interested to visit the farm and meet the people whom, until that point, I was only communicating with on the internet forums.

Fascinatingly enough, the Desteni message evolved in front of my eyes and during my involvement from a self-realization process that was focused more on individual awareness/awakening to a collective awareness process, hence for instance also the design of an equal money system (and no – despite the nasty remarks in the nature of “oh no, this is communism, run for your lives!” by people that never did their research or studied the model of equal money – equal money is not communism, in fact communism as such was just another power-abuse system with no actual, sustainable equality or quality for that matter), the design of self-awareness and relationship courses, the design of educational books and interview series including parenting support (visit the eqafe store and make sure to check out the free downloads as well!) and now the Basic Income Guaranteed proposal with practical solutions as to how we are able to adjust the capitalistic system in a way that it can not only ‘produce’ a living income for all but at the same time also allow the entire economy to flourish – for real, and without abuse, without exploitation.

By the way, apart from the educational courses and the products at eqafe (of which there is even a free online lite course that includes buddy-support as well as free products on eqafe!), no money or financial contribution is or has ever been asked by the Desteni group for one's participation in projects, forums, or even for visiting the farm. And I mean I have visited the farm so I know first hand, and I would like to stress this financial point because some anonymous trolls even went as far as saying we have now 'highjacked' the BIG (Basic Income Grant) idea and are trying to make money out of it - wow! What I can say to that is:

Basic Income has quite a history already, and what can be seen thus far is that we’ve been missing the Know-How to make it possible in the long-run, integrate it into the economy, make it sustainable and able to be implemented in any country. Therefore we at the Equal Life Foundation dedicate our contribution to showing the practical ways of implementing Basic Income, showing that it Can work and How it can work practically, as well as discussing how the systems of our world must be adjusted in order to facilitate Basic Income and also in order to allow the economy to flourish for real. Which is why we call our proposal Basic Income Guaranteed – because we show the way that, if incorporated and applied, will easily enable Basic Income, guaranteed, and will also guarantee a sustainable win-win outcome.

The practical steps shared within the Basic Income Guaranteed proposal: offer a way to a solution for our world system, a way to changing the 'rules of the game' into a win-win situation. Just do the math. Visit http://basicincomeguaranteed.wordpress.com/ and study this BIG solution that will not only allow the ECOnomy to flourish but will also ensure that every child born into this world has an equal right to a life of dignity, freedom, opportunity – for real.

So, ‘the process’ is evolving, is becoming bigger, BIG enough to include ALL – as that is the whole point of the ‘oneness and equality’ principle.

Interestingly enough, even though the models we design and propose ‘evolve’, the message remains the same: Oneness and Equality.

The point is to not have that principle be just another concept or ideology – thus the question is how to practically ‘get there’, how to live it / apply it within and as oneself individually, as well as how to get there as humanity the quickest so as to stop the atrocious conditions of starvation, poverty, hunger, war, exploitation, financial deception and abuse etc., and how to make the practical proposals such that they can be understood and embraced by all/the majority of humanity.

Why is this relevant?

Because most paths of self-realization and awareness, as most well know especially in the new age era, are focused on personal enlightenment and on creating mental bubbles that keep one from facing reality while ignoring the actual suffering and the practical problems we are facing HERE on earth, individually and as humanity collectively; while ignoring the fact that we are All responsible for What Is Here, because What Is Here is the direct outflow of all our relationships, from the bigger to the smaller. Every breath each one takes and who/what one exists as within every breath: counts, and accumulates into what and how the System is today. It is OUR creation.

So here the point of Self-Responsibility and the point of Facing and Sorting-Out OUR HERE – our creation, ourselves, our relationships, our systems, our future, our home planet Earth, our humanity as Mankind.

Now there comes one group (Desteni) that says Humanity is One Group and Life Here is the Highest Value and we must see to it that the Value of Life is practically honoured and supported for all, to stop abuse once and for all and restore the value of life by manifesting ourselves and our world into a functional coexistence in dignity, in oneness and equality as life –

and we are a cult? Wow, how brainwashed must one be to react to a message that is Best for All with so much fear?

The question is:

Why do we, why do the cultures and systems of our world cultivate separation, instead of cultivating a culture of life that is in fact best for ALL as life?
Is it because we are brainwashed into separatism? Is it because we merely follow belief systems? Is it because we insist on holding on to (each their OWN) different ‘gods’ and ‘religions’ and ‘values’ and ‘nations’ and ‘traditions’ and ignore the fact that what we do ‘in the name of god’ is often against life?

Is it because we are brainwashed into fear? Is it because we are brainwashed into ‘justifying’ the existence of fear and separation, as if there were no other way to LIVE and co-exist here?
As long as fear governs our world – no one is free.
And no one is really free until ALL life is free.
Because Life is interdependent, interconnected, One.
And unless all parts of Life self-realize their interconnectedness which implies their EQUALITY AS LIFE, there can be no peace, no freedom, no life in fact – as there will be conflict, competition, abuse, struggle for survival, war.

In a world of such separatism, where every grouping is in fact a cult, exclusive to its 'own', and never all-inclusive as LIFE, as a whole – to call the Desteni movement a cult can only come from people that have not looked into what it is we are actually presenting and representing.

I implore the reader to make sure one investigate what Desteni stands for before making assumptions that only reflect one’s own fears and limitations of mind.

The fact the many people exist in fear of being brainwashed indicates one thing: that one is not aware of the fact that one is already brainwashed into a consumer, a willing servant of money as profit, a fearful subordinate of the system – a system that dictates survival and makes a struggle out of life/living.

Haven’t you ever wondered how come there are so many groups, so many religions, so many groupings talking bad about each-other in this world, the ones blaming the others, pointing fingers, hating, fearing – where did this all start? And why do we believe we have to keep accepting it?

When I was a child, I remember having these questions, and not understand why such fear and hatred was ruling the hearts of me.
When I grew up, I was attracted to spirituality because I existed in the hope that there must be something ‘good’ somewhere, so I believed in waking the ‘good’ in the human, so that the human may awaken to a better existence on earth.

What I had not considered is that the bad I was witnessing, as for instance fear, control, manipulation, abuse, could only exist through the human. Take the human out of the equation, and the system of abuse stops.
What I had further not considered is how it is vital to understand Why and How the bad exists, to understand its creation and functioning in all its mechanisms, as that is the only way to stop it – taking responsibility for Who we are and How we are. After all, that IS what creates the world, the system, our existence.

When I came across the Desteni forums and discussions I was quick to realize that I had missed a point – the point of responsibility, which cannot be taken on without first stopping the denial and suppression one had allowed in one’s hope for something good 'out there somewhere', something better coming from 'outside'; which is where I was at, at that point.

So I do understand why people can’t hear the Desteni message – You can’t, if you are so desperately busy denying your responsibility, denying the fact that you, just like everyone else, are brainwashed into acceptance and allowance, brainwashed into dreaming, wanting, needing, desiring, fearing, and making THAT more important and more valuable than Life itself.

Unless we STOP our DENIAL - we cannot really move, evolve, and change this world, that is our creation, through responsibility and self-realization as life, as creators.

It's time we Realize the collective responsibility we all equally share for What Is Here within and as our existence.
It's time we Realize that What Is Here is here through our acceptance and allowance, through the permission we give by submitting to the system without questioning the system in all possible ways.

It's time we see and realize that unless LIFE stands as one group, on this one planet we share, and bring forth an existence where all life is equally supported, we cannot stop this profit-driven, life-exploiting system and put an end to the atrocious abuse that's being allowed.

It's time to Stop and re-evaluate everything we have accepted in this world.
