The Anticult
Another thing to keep in mind, is that there is no evidence at all, that Bernard Poolman believes his own bullshit about Atlantis, lizards, or anything else.
As a matter of fact, since BP teaches his followers that to believe is to beLIEve, the evidence points to Bernard Poolman NOT believing his own ridiculous belief-systems he is selling to others.
He claims that "The Dimensions are No More" -- [
www.youtube.com]. That'll be because he "cleaned up Heaven" and got the "soul construct" deleted.
In "Why is Desteni doing what Desteni’s doing? 26 February 2009" -- [
desteni.co.za] there is the statement,
"Approaching researchers and universities to research the Portal
We have approached them with and ask for researchers to consider doing research and no-one, not even the most prolific parapsychologists in the world or departments that do research in this has come forward with any point, any suggestion.
One university did come back and say “What we have does not fall within the description of their research”. I mean, that’s obvious it can’t because there is no such description."
Did Bernard Poolman seriously think that parapsychologists or academics would agree to carry out a scientific or even a pseudoscientific investigation of the possible psychic powers of a girl who says she's "portalling" anyone from Swami Praphupada to Anton La Vey to Audrey Hepburn to Osho to Jimi Hendrix to Steve Irwin to Sumerian gods to a dog to inanimate objects like a piece of toilet paper, a price tag or a vibrator?
No, there weren't ever going to be enough suckers falling for that nonsense, so even though the whole Desteni project is based on information that is said to be from "dimensions" Poolman decided that "the dimensions are no more". Now the emphasis is on about how having a shaved head on YouTube will help money become "equal".
He claims that "equal money" will inevitably be the economic world standard in the near future, but at the same time, everyone in Desteni will have rid themselves of their thoughts, feelings or emotions, because that is the ultimate aim of Desteni. It is all so preposterous, he can't possibly think any of it is truthful or credible, but that's not the point. He will say whatever he feels is necessary to run a functioning cult, because that's what he does believe in, his potential as a cult leader.
In the latest spate of unlisted YouTube videos or rather audio recordings by Poolman, he drones on in a nonsensical, inconsequential manner, every now and then repeating the phrase, "one plus one equals two", which he reckons is a mathematical formula for equality. Most of these talks -- listed here: [
desteni.co.za] -- are gobbledegook but there are some sentiments about a seeming potential radical transformation and a more fair economic system, which would provide an air of plausibility for whomever might be naive or susceptible enough.
In "Process Support - Upload Yourself into the Universal Unconscious Mind" -- [
www.youtube.com] -- he describes how Desteni supporters with shaved heads on YouTube are a "living advert for equality", and "if you do your eyebrows, that would be so cool because then you'll get all the alien buddies as well, cause you'll look like an alien and then the whole alien thing can be confirmed as the living alien that has arrived on earth at last".
In "Real Change in the Doll House of the Program" -- [
www.youtube.com] -- Poolman suggests: "Please realize if you are doing self-forgiveness self-honestly in common sense and you are not changing in terms of your friends and family and so on, that you are actually lying, it's not real. You are just pretending and you are living a double life. No double life is possible for a long term with effect, you will end up losing everything. Best do it properly and stand as an example."
In other words, if you're going to be in Desteni, you will have to break ties with all your non-Desteni friends and family.
