and to finish...
In Italy there are two forums that that have been talking about Damanhur now for over a year. One run by the Centre for the Study of Psychological Abuse www.cesap.net and one by the popular science magazine ‘Focus’ www.focus.it (Community – ‘Noi e le sette’).
It is very difficult to leave Damanhur once you are in. The indoctrination and psychological conditioning is very strong and as you aptly say in the video, it is like living in another world. Citizens cannot relate to normal everyday life. They live in a Falco generated Sci-fi fantasy, believing that he is the reincarnation of the god Horus, that they are hosting aliens in their body, travelling in time during their sleep and rebuilding Atlantis on a parallel plane of existence.
Falco has had sexual relations with over 40% of the female members of the community. He takes women away traveling at weekends in million Euro motor homes on ‘magic journeys’ and calls it ‘ritual alchemy’. Citizens are not allowed to reveal what happens on the journeys and the sexual abuse has been going on ever since the community was established in the 70’s. He is now having sexual relations with the young daughters of his founder members. All of this information can be found in the testimonies of the ex-Damanhurians posted in the Italian forums.
Damanhur is no utopia it is a cult... in Italy everyone knows this.

from the site's opening article
Martin Luther King said “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter” and what happens to the lives of the people who get caught up in Damanhur matters. The world needs to make a truly informed decision about this Community. The fact that a great many people believe in it, is no guarantee of its truth.
You certainly cannot rely on the British or American media to give you an accurate picture. Film makers and journalists have all been taken in by its superficial glamour, efficient marketing and completely indoctrinated PR staff. Just look at what the Daily Mail has come up with! No English language journalists have ever managed to see through the façade and publish their findings. British author and journalist Tobias Jones came near to it in his book Utopian Dreams but merely poked fun at the system without seriously dissecting the darker side of its Italian heart.

Greetings dear friends:
A very successful potluck gathering and presentation by Crotalo Sesamo and Shama from the Damanhur Community gave many attendees some powerful ideas and insights on Damanhur's spiritual, artistic and community development. It has been internationally recognized as a model of sustainable development. Damanhur is well known for having build the currently known largest underground temples -- The Temples of Humankind.
Many of the Anastasia book readers and eco-settlers for Shambhala-Shasta were both inspired and illumined better on just how truly special Anastasia has been and will be to the entire ecological and intentional community world. My personal viewpoint is that Damanhur represents the pinnacle and the highest spiritual and material achievement of the technocratic world using the current paradigms, knowledge and technology to date. It is incredibly GREAT but for the fact there are still no Spaces of Love.
We look forward to a long and beneficent relationship with Damanhur.
Much love to one and all,
Rolando
