My name is Carrie Tooley and I am a
41-year-old female living in Bucksport, Maine, USA. I am married, a
parent of two children, and I work in the Food and Beverage Industry.
I began studying the Desteni material at the beginning of 2011 and
after 2 months of research, in March of the same year, I began using
the tools of Self-Forgiveness and Self-Correction that are shown by
the Desteni Group.
Before joining Desteni, I did not have
any desire or reason to face what I saw as problems with myself and
within the world. I would ignore what made me uncomfortable or wait
for someone else to fix it. Now, I work on facing what I don't like,
changing it, and standing up. Standing up for myself and standing up
for others who do not have a voice to do so is quite cool because
it's something that I'd never see myself as being able to do!
So, for me, walking with Desteni has
been the process of me learning how to become responsible and then
living and applying what I have learned. The result of this that I
can see is me developing into a much more stable human being with
easier relationships.
For a long time I experienced disbelief
when Desteni was labeled as a cult, a scam, and a Pyramid Scheme. How
could this be? And when I researched cults, scams, and the
money-making schemes, Desteni did not fit the profile. Instead, what
I found is that Desteni is like self-help psychologist that's
available for support 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. And the
Desteni tools and support are FREE. So the claims that Desteni is a
cult, scam, and some sort of money-making scheme doesn't make any
practical common sense what-so-ever.
Currently, I am enrolled in two Desteni
I Process Courses: 'Structural Resonance Alignment' and 'Agreements -Redefining Relationships'. I make a monthly payment for the
'Structural Resonance Alignment' course and my 'Agreements' course is
100% sponsored. Recently, my financial position has changed, I have
started a new job, and my budget for next month is not certain so my
monthly payment for next month has been sponsored. I mean, if this
was a group that was out to get my money, there would be no
sponsorships and no understanding about my financial position
what-so-ever. My mortgage company would foreclose on me, my electric
company would shut me off, and the bank that holds the title to my
car would come and take the car away. These companies and
establishments do not care about my well-being nor my ability provide
for my family's basic needs. However, Desteni and the Equal Life
Foundation have shown time-and-time again that they do in-fact Care.
As for changes in my living, there have
been many. Desteni has assisted and supported me to overcome fears,
improve my relationships, and to develop self-trust and self-respect.
A foundation of my change has been learning to research. I use
self-forgiveness to research myself where I get into what I have
accepted and allowed - and why. When I have an understanding of what
I have accepted and allowed and why, I then research practical and
livable solutions for my self-correction. Once I have practical and
livable solutions for my self-correction, I then commit myself to
test my solutions by living them. When and as I do not see a
change, I will repeat this process of self-forgiveness,
self-correction, and self-commitment until I am satisfied with the
result.
Understand, I have been in-and-out of
mental health offices since I was 8-years old. I have seen doctors
for medications, psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors. I
have studied Social and Behavioral Sciences. I've read Tarot Cards
since I was 16, I've studied with a psychic, learned Psychometry, many other forms of Divination, practiced Astral Projection, practiced Witchcraft, studied Buddhism, AND participated in Catholic Church.
I even became a Positive Thinker. None of these have worked for me or
assisted me in understanding and changing myself. What I have
learned via my studies and research with the Desteni group has. And
after two years of participation, I am only just beginning.
Here are some changes that I have made
thus far:
- Improved my immediate relationships
by giving of myself and my time. I have realized that giving to
others in no way takes away from myself and instead I self-support as
I support others. The relationships that I have with others are
easier and of quality. And as a result of all of this, my
self-relationship has improved because giving has assisted me to
develop self-trust within my journey to become a human being that
cares.
- No longer terrified of Ghosts, Unseen
Entities, graveyards, or old houses that look haunted. I realize
that these fears only exist in my mind as a response to my thoughts
and imagination.
- No longer believe that God,
Goddesses, The One, or Spirit Guides are guiding me, protecting
me, judging me for my actions or deciding my fate. Instead, I
realize that it is up to me to decide the direction of my life as I
am the one that must live with the consequences of my decisions.
- No longer obsessed with Death, the
Afterlife, and what I will be when I die. I no longer allow myself
to be as distracted by questions and assumptions about Death and the
Afterlife because the fact is, I am not going to have a clue until I
get there. So, best to focus on being here on Earth and realizing
myself - which is a LOT more fun.
- More at-ease around people. I no
longer constantly obsess and make assumptions about what others are
thinking about me. I don't fear others as much as I once did which
allows me to really enjoy being with others and getting to know them.
- My vocabulary and my writing ability
have improved. I now find it easier to speak and communicate with a
broader range of individuals.
- Have a better understanding of
myself, how I function, and why. In turn, I have a better
understanding of others and the world that we live in.
- See the potential in myself, others,
and the world that we live in. Instead of brooding over problems and
believing that nothing and no one here can change, I look for
workable ways and common sense possibilities that could ensure that
all have a life of dignity, health, and happiness.
Now, I say with certainty that Desteni
is not a Scam - I have researched this point for two years and there
has been no indication that Desteni nor the Equal Life Foundation
participates in fraudulent activities, deceit, cheating, ripping-off
or swindling. Instead what I have found is a group of people that
are passionate about ensuring that every child has a decent life on
Earth. This is not done with protests, acts of violence, harassment
or other forms of abuse - no. This is a group that works within the
principles of what is Best For All, Give as you would like to
Receive, Do onto Another what You would Like to be Done onto, and
Investigate All Things and Keep what is Good. For evidence that
Desteni has an equation for change that works, see the Journey ToLife Blogs where many are documenting their processes of transforming
themselves.
To be clear, I do not do the Desteni
research for financial gain. I am not a paid researcher and I am not
sharing what I've found in my research for money. In-fact, I pay for
a Desteni I Process education and I pay for other materials sold at
EQAFE which supports the group to continue. Desteni is not a Pyramid
Scheme. Further, the Equal Life Foundation is a taxable Nonprofit Organization that is funded through EQAFE products and Desteni I
Process Education program - it is completely self-funded.
In conclusion, I have researched
Desteni and the Equal Life Foundation and it is not a Scam. The
Equal Life Foundation is a taxable Nonprofit Organization that is
funded by products sold via EQAFE and the Desteni I Process Education
program which offers years of research and expertise in the fields of
Vocabulary, Psychology, Economics, Integrity-Based Spirituality,
Paranormal Science, and Self-Improvement. For those that
do not pay for Desteni I Process courses nor purchase EQAFE products,
the group offers assistance and support on the Desteni Forum as well
as a Desteni I Process Lite program which are both free. For proof
that Desteni has an equation for change that works, see the Journey
To Life Blogs where many are documenting their process of living
transformation and sharing it for all to see. Me, I am grateful
every day that my life-long search for a source of understanding,
purpose, and integrity-based change has been found within the Desteni
tools of Self-Forgiveness and the principles of what is Best For All,
Give as you would like to Receive, Do onto Another what You would
Like to be Done onto, and Investigate All Things and Keep what is
Good. These tools and principles are things that I always have with
me and can utilize during every moment of every breath so at this
point, I no longer require using prescription mood and mind
stabilizing medications, the mental health system, nor a religious
organization. I have myself and a strong system of support which is
quite a gift.
I have investigated every word within
this document and checked the vocabulary to be certain that I am
explaining, communicating, and sharing my research of Desteni in
words that I stand by absolutely, without bias, and as a direct
representation of my findings.
