Re: Desteni, New Age, channeling, Equal Money

I doubt that Poolman is seriously trying to transform the New Age Movement, he is just covering all his bases, casting the widest possible net by drawing on all these disparate influences. What is common amongst all the influences is the appeal to disaffected and vulnerable youth who have already pre-qualified themselves by showing a willingness to believe in other worlds, conspiracy theories and disembodied spirits of various kinds.

Poolman is attempting to trawl the outer fringes of any marginalised belief system, from the Aryan supremacists to radical environmentalists for his followers--its the marginalisation that attracts him to seek his followers from these groups, the belief system is immaterial.

"There are so many disaffected and alienated youth."

Unfortunately, yes.
But they are infinitely better off struggling with that disaffection and alienation--which is almost inescapable in the process of growing-up and becoming an adult--than united under the direction of such a calculating manipulator as Poolman.

Bernard Poolman identifies himself as a fan of Hitler, but the Desteni material does not currently deal overtly or in detail with racist, antisemitic, Nazi or fascist ideology, not even the Desteni 'I Am Hitler' series. Yet life on the Desteni Farm could be said to have a similar appeal to the Ariosophy of Nazi real or imagined occult history, an early form of New Ageism: working on "the self" while getting back to the land to improve what is "best for all" in "Oneness and Equality".

That there is a not-so indirect connection between the New Age Movement and fascism has been documented by Christopher Locke of Mystic Bourgeoisie -- [mysticbourgeoisie.blogspot.com].

Desteni only pays lip service to radical environmentalism, but it is well-known that the influence of New Age elements such as Anthroposophy, neo-Paganism, Wicca etc can be found throughout radical environmentalist movements.

Conspiracy theories addressed by Desteni to do with government cover-ups of UFOs, secret societies etc sit happily alongside standard New Age beliefs and practices at for example [projectcamelotproductions.com] and [www.ashtarcommandcrew.net] where channelers of beings from outer space, ascended masters and New Age spiritual warriors support various conspiracy theories, not least the one that says the world is held sway over by the Illuminati.

Some enthusiasts of that kind of material could be ripe for Desteni, but this begins to look like a contradiction because some conspiracy theorists (perhaps the more fundamentalist) also say that the whole New Age Movement is Luciferic, evil, Satanic, of the New World Order and the Illuminati.

In that scenario, Benjamin Creme's Share International and the Maitreya are part of the conspiracy. Although he is said to be the Christ, the Maitreya is viewed as the Antichrist by certain conspiracists. Share International's idea is that world economics will in the near future be transformed into a fairer system and that starvation will be eliminated under the guidance of the Maitreya and that will be the New World Order or New Age.

This sounds similar to Desteni's "Equal Money" scheme, which is why Desteni is in some quarters associated with Maitreya, the New World Order and/or the Illuminati. That and the fact that Bernard Poolman recommends microchipping the populace -- 11:11 Micro-Chip Solution is Real Love and Oneness, [www.youtube.com]

One critic of Desteni proposes that Desteni has the same kind of philosophy as the Illuminati "and the beings behind them" -- Desteni microchipping and illuminati suppoe=rters -- [www.youtube.com]

Another denounces Desteni -- a message to the Desteni Cult and their blind suporters - [www.youtube.com] -- whilst promoting David Icke-style reptilian conspiracy theories -- Reptilian Humanoid conspiracy - [www.youtube.com]

The gentleman referred to a few posts ago who claims to have been harrassed by Destenites and runs [themovement1.weebly.com] even goes as far as to say that Bernard Poolman actually is the Maitreya, in a comment at this page:
[itsyourworldblog.wordpress.com]

which in effect means that he believes Poolman is a Buddhist icon that was appropriated by certain Theosophical factions of the New Age Movement and because of that then Poolman is the Antichrist.

Poolman is a bloke who lives on a farm in South Africa and has started a cult based around a revised version of New Age religious or spiritual beliefs (which include certain conspiracy theories) and pseudoscience.

'Poolman is a bloke who lives on a farm in South Africa and has started a cult based around a revised version of New Age religious or spiritual beliefs (which include certain conspiracy theories) and pseudoscience.'

Yes, and he is none too fussy about what his followers believe just so long as it is wacky enough to keep them off-kilter and confused enough to prevent them from looking too closely at what he is really doing---which is implanting himself as the sole voice of authority in their individual worlds of confusion.

When people are confused they will follow the authoritive voice. Poolman will use whatever belief systems are to hand to develop the necessary conditions in the minds of his followers to obey him completely--he is an equal opportunity exploiter.

I think looking for a rational or logical pattern in the disparate influences is a red herring. Poolman doesn't need a rational or logical pattern, he needs an emotional dependence on himself and his authority. He gets that by working on and manipulating the existing beliefs and fears of his vulnerable followers, however bizarre those beliefs might be.

I seriously doubt that Poolman holds any beliefs of his own, save the conviction that he has an absolute right to complete power, domination and control over the lives of his followers. As he aquires more followers they will unwittingly reinforce that conviction, the classic vicious circle.

Desteni, Bernard Poolman The Antichrist, or a D-list wannabe cultist?
Posted by: The Anticult ()
Date: June 07, 2010 12:28AM

Bernard Poolman would absolutely LOVE that someone is calling Bernard Poolman The Antichrist, or the Maitreya fraud. (there are about 900 Guru's and other scammers claiming to be the Maitreya, which doesn't exist of course).

Bernard Poolman is a below D-list wannabe cult leader, with only a few followers so far. He has a few people around him who are in on the Desteni Big Lie SCAM, and they know its a scam to dupe the "stupid public".

Its most likely that Bernard Poolman did believe a lot of this bullshit when he was younger, and followed a few other New Agey cult Gurus. Then as he got older, he realized they had been conning him all along, and taking his money with their stupid courses, products, books and seminars.
Then the scammed and cynical follower has his moment of "enlightenment". He thinks, I can do the same scam those other scammers did to me.
So they start up their own cultic racket.

Following his idol Hitler, Bernard Poolman comes up with a Big Lie, the most idiotic thing he could think of, that someone is able to "channel" random dead people, like the movie where the kid sees dead people.
He then throws in every ridiculous bit of New Agey nonsense since Atlantis and the hollow-earth, and puts faith in the idea that the Big Lie is going to be swallowed by the gullible public.


At least this thread is a place for the facts and truth about Desteni and Bernard Poolman to be posted for anyone to read. There is an enormous amount of information in this thread, that can be applied to Desteni and other sects like it, trying to cash in.

Desteni is using so many silly and ridiculous up-front tactics, they are also running the pattern known to many cultists.

That is the "sucker-test".
They use them up front to filter-out any critical thinkers, and filter-in the kind of followers they want.
They also know if you pass (fail) the sucker-test, and believe their initial bullshit, they can train you to believe literally anything.

James Arthur Ray uses it, as do many others. [forum.culteducation.com]
To each other they call it the Sucker-test, in sales they will call it QUALIFYING THE CUSTOMER.

Filtering is a key word, I think. I think there are cults that specialize in filtering people into different layers and then they go off in what appear to be different directions. Desteny already has a separation between media production and the rest, doesn't it?

Desteni and Bernard Poolman are spamming the internet quite systematically recently, trolling for new recruits for Desteni.
They post everywhere, just trolling trolling trolling, looking to bait-and-switch, deceive, and reel new members down the Desteni rabbit hole.

Becoming a spammer seems to be one of the first obligations for anyone who participates in the Desteni "process".

Desteni members are encouraged to open multiple YouTube accounts. They constantly make pointless comments on each other's videos and many of the videos have inappropriate tagging to increase ratings. Their videos are uploaded to all other free video upload sites. Desteni blogging and publishing of articles goes on any freebie web services available.

Critics of Desteni on YouTube have been flooded with comments and messages from Desteni members in an attempt to silence them.

But contrary to how it may appear Desteni does not just appeal to young people. These are links to a few of the Desteni-oriented YouTube channels that are run by older folks ...
