Day 90 Is Desteni a Scam? My 5 + year Investigation - Part 1



Wild birds in the early morning, flying up after eating all the chicken food at the ‪#‎DesteniFarm ‪#‎wildbirds ‪#‎SouthAfrica ‪#‎KwazuluNatal ‪#‎Nature ‪#‎Animals
First of all I will identify my conclusion of what a “scam” is from my own personal experience with it. A scam is a group or individual that wants only your money and will not give you anything of real value in return. They make promises to you that you will benefit from sending in your money or buying something that will enhance your life. Many times you will get absolutely nothing in return as they will run off with the money, like investment scams or you will get a shoddy product of no value or worth.

My name is Adele Caskey, I was born in August of 1953 in Youngstown, Ohio. And I stumbled upon Desteni in the year of 2007; Thu Sep 13, 8:42 pm is when I joined their first forum. I am specific with the date because I had to go to the old forum to see actually how long I have known about Desteni.

What started my investigation with Desteni was when a friend emailed me this video to watch. And it was uploaded by Desteni. The video intrigued me so I watched a few more and then I went to their forum and started reading posts. I was very skeptical, as I am cautious because I have learned not to trust anyone really, that most things are just opinions that usually benefit the person saying them and are not necessarily true, or something they heard somewhere else and have not even investigated for themselves the validity of such ideas or statements.

So I am a skeptical person and I still investigate for myself everything that is presented from Desteni. In fact what I really admire and found refreshing is that Desteni actually wants you to and challenges you to investigate everything Desteni says for yourself! Now – this is what makes Desteni a cut above anything else I have heard out there. If this was a scam would they tell you to investigate them? Would they tell you to visit the farm and see for yourself? And I did visit the farm for 3 months in 2009.

I can not say in a few words the value I have gained from meeting these people, As the value is personal, personal self empowerment through understanding true self honesty. And it is a process, a process of self discovery that I have never experienced before and one that can only experience for yourself.

I am writing this article because there are those out there in the world that are trying to discredit Desteni and now they are saying it is a scam. LOL – I just have to laugh because of the absurdity of a certain type of people that have to promote disinformation. I don’t know why they do this, is it insecurity or wanting to appear knowledgeable, are they getting paid for it as disinformation trolls? There are actually people who get paid to misinform – and I did my own investigation on this, I was shocked, but its true.

So by my definition of a scam, and now let’s put the dictionary definition as well which is 1. a fraudulent scheme; swindle. 2. to cheat; defraud.

I must say and will testify that Desteni has never in my close to 6 years of continuous contact and involvement been or acted in a fraudulent way or have given out any service or products that has not enhanced my life to be a better person for my self and humanity.

Do they ask for money? Yes they do now – I remember back the first few years when I first met them and they asked for nothing. I even suggested you guys do so much for free, you devote all your time to get the truth out and help people with learning how to deal and understand their destructive emotional habits – you should start asking for money to support yourselves. My fear was that they would go away when the money ran out, as everyone needs to buy food and have housing, heath care, and they needed access to the internet to reach people, if they did not have these things then they could not be here to help those who were ready to learn how to make a difference in their lives.

Now they offer products and services that one can pay for, though even now, they still help those who are serious about changing themselves and want to make a difference even if they do not have financial means to contribute.

So, we who know and understand the value of what Desteni is offering, sharing and encouraging us to get involved with as a solution to inequality, want to support Desteni monetarily because we understand we are supporting ourselves as well.

So those few people who are saying Desteni is a Scam, well they have been investigated. And most of them have never investigated what Desenti is about. They have taken a few sentences out of context from the forum or a video and placed them with the starting point to discredit Desteni on purpose. And then they have this fraudulent following that they get by promoting unjustified fear to them. We had a forum where we were discussing ways to support the Group finically so we can continue supporting people, and I know there were a few that were on that forum that decided Desteni was not for them and so they felt, to feel better about themselves, they would discredit Desteni. And then there are others that are paid dis-informants, they are suppose to divide, by spreading misinform on any group that wants equality, as equality will threaten their hold of power that they have over people.

Day 81 Why not insure that ALL CHILDREN get the best?

When I first noticed MoneyThought

I remember being a kid and wanting things. On time, it is a vague memory now, but I was out with my mom and or dad and we were in a store. I wanted something I saw and I ask if I can have it and my mom said no. I think it was a toy, something I saw on the way out of the store. I remember being angry that they said no. I did not understand why they would say no. This kept happening were, I would want something and sometimes they would say no and sometime they would say yes. At that time I had no idea about money. I did not know that what I did received came from money. I mean this meant from food, cloths, objects and even going some where (because you needed gas.) The reason I would get angry when they said no – was the fact that I just simply thought that they did not like me. I was feeling like what am I doing wrong that they want to punish me? I didn’t understand. They finally one day I asked my mom why I could not having something. Not sure what it was now, but I remember saying that one of my friends has it. I think it was Cynthia, she would get nice new things, new cloths, new bedroom sets and stuff and I never did. First mom would say cause I said so – but I kept pushing by asking why. Then she finally said we don’t have the money. And I still said why? Why do others have the money and we don’t? Then she explained that my dad had a job that only gave him so much money. And others had jobs that paid more money. She showed me a little math, like here you have so many apples and this cost that many apples, if you don’t have that many apples you can get it. I was like OH! Okay. I see. 

The bizarre thing about this – was that, here all along I thought they did not like me, so this was a relief to know that it was because my dad was not making enough money to get us certain things and that I was denied something just because he didn’t have enough money. 

So I want to start to work right away. I wanted to do things for money. I started ironing my moms friends cloths and doing light house work for them when I was young, then as I got older I started to baby sit and I also got a job at a near by small deli shop, so I could get a few dollars and save them to buy some of the things I wanted. I ended up working from age 13 while going to school to now.

I actually thought it was cool to work so I could get things. But as I got older, I started to see now the fear with this – because now – the ones who pay you have the power. Meaning they can fire you, you may not get a job because there are none, and the fear is if you cant pay for your rent, you cant live and if you don’t have a place – you cant get a job. This never happened to me – I always found something, or friends to help out while in transition. And I never had kids to worry about. At a young age I could see that I did not want to bring kids into this world. There were already so many kids who were orphans and suffering. I thought why we are not taking care of these kids first, before we have our own. I mean this seemed to be common sense – but the world/humans does not see it that way. It was so important to have a child from your own body – that seemed to make it more special… I don’t know why really. There is no why that makes sense. 

Now we have half the world in poverty and we are still having kids – not taking care of what is already here. It is like we are baby machines without any consideration for what that means. We are popping out kids and teaching them to become consumer slaves to feed the elite. We are all humans – we should be taking care of what is here, not just making more of a mess by not questioning things. The craziest thing – is that there are solutions, there is away to make things right. Why do humans fight against it? There is a way where all that are born can have a dignified life. It is an Equal Money system. We all want for our kids to have the best. So why not insure it. Why not insure that ALL CHILDREN get the best?

Day 35: Being Cheap


We have created a world where we do not value all of Life, nature and others as ourselves.
Thus within this creation emerged the manifestation of the MONEY SYSTEM where we values money instead of LIFE.

Money Consumes Us – We are losing our LIFE to MONEY – WE THINK MONEY GIVES US LIFE AND THUS HAVE MADE MONEY EQUAL TO = LIVING

I saw some backchat within myself when I did not want to pay for postage on a package because it was going to be heavy – thus costing me more money.
Then I though – ghee you are being cheap. I see how we always have to consider money within most anything we do! To send my brother a package – I have to consider money
It is not the idea that I am being cheap – or thinking cheap thoughts – But that I see that I value the paper- the money more than sending the package.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be born onto a planet where we value Money more than LIFE.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not want to send someone something because it cost money.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself that I fear to spend money on certain things because I only have so much at a time – and that I therefore become cheap on stupid things at times

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be conditioned by money

I  forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe in the idea that one has to be cheap because of our idea of money as the reason of whether or not we should give someone something as we value and fear lack of money for survival.

Day 4:School Work For Money


I am spending so much time doing school work - so I can survive in this system that uses money to equal Life.
It is a shame really, instead of being able to help bring in the message of equality and equal money, I have to spend time to pass my courses so I can get the grants and loans to pay my bills.
I do not mind studying and learning new things - but when the pressure is on because the fear of losing financial aid... well you know what I mean. And then there is student dept...







Our whole journey on this planet is about money. It is a shame. We are raised to learn how to get jobs and make money so we can become consumers. We are valued by how much we can consume because that equals money to the advertizes and health industry.

I forgive  myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be born in a system that values money above life.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to forget as a child and be swept up by economic society so that I can fit in and survive.
I forgive myself that I did not know how to change this and fell into the trap that all has fallen into - to make money our source of survival, instead to just care and support each other and nature. Money is not  needed to survive - we have just made it that way, more to the fact we have just accepted and allowed it to be that way.

Wouldn't it be nice if we as humanity would stop this charade and start to care and live a life that supports all of nature and humanity. Lets stand together and support an Equal Money System. This is a website where you can actually see the changes that will support this, and be able to vote and leave comments.

I forgive myself that at this time I have to work for money until we as humanity will stand up and make a change not based on profit but on life equal for all.

Day 2:Fear of Where Will the Money Come From

Photo is from Desteni Artist on Facebook.

I woke up today in a good mood then I remembered that I have to get it together for school work. I went into mind back chat about "If I don't get this done I will not have money.. then what will I do? I am going on 59yrs now and what will I be able to do for money. Our whole life is motivated by money to survive.
I realized that whining about in my mind is just taking me away from the moment and into fear. I actually like to work, but when your work is dependent on what another thinks - meaning they decide if it is okay enough for you to get "money" of course fear comes.

These post are about seeing our mind and back chat and how we abuse ourselfs and others with our thoughts. And applying the Desteni Principles of Self Forgiveness and self corrective statements.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not be present HERE and to worry about doing school work and will it be good enough to pass my course.

I forgive  myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear the world that we have created.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be part of a world that only cares about money and not a world that support life.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not like to work because I have accepted and allowed myself to equal work with money.

I also realize that having money at this time is the only way one can survive in this world and to make a change in this world. Thus I remember that with money I can support myself to support those who are dedicated to making a change that will allow life to Lived in equality and not have and have nots. 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fear money and have made it separate from me as a point of stress and survival

When and if I see myself going into the mind back chat with fear of money, I stop in that moment and Breath, I stable myself HERE as Breath and realize that this fear is not useful as it only puts me in a place of self pity and worry thus I am not fulfilling my potential as Life.
