I was living close to their centre for a while. They have two sides like all cults. They are all very nice and kind and we used their shop a lot because it was having all the organic things that couldn't be found anywhere else in the area. BUT they are also politically controlling at least 10 to 12 towns around their centre. They take a ton of money from their members. They also have members stop contacting their families if they are not agreeing with them. We even had to help one nice, older Lady to leave. She was from England and really wanted to leave but she was afraid for her life. She didn't trust anyone, not even the most members of our group. Only two of us where helping her and we were acting as her bodyguards being on her side while she was packing up her stuff. Within a few days we drove her to the airport in her own car that she just left with us. She was so desperate to get away from them. People around there say that it was all founded by occultists in Torino. Looking at the past of Torino this can actually make sense. Long time ago the rulers of Torino tried to lower the popes influence on the region by inviting every cult to live there without having to fear persecution. You can look this up easily. They claim to be able to heal anything with their copper spirals but their leader Falcao died of cancer. We always thought that's kind of funny. Obviously not that he died of cancer but that they couldn't even heal the leader. Rumours are he really liked the girls in his cult and he also really liked to go for leisure flights with his shiny helicopter. Don't get me wrong, I like their way of living in little groups and eating all organic and such. But they are also dangerous. When I left there was a lot of fighting in the cult because of the power gap Falcaos death left, not sure how it is today. They probably figured it out
Classic cult elements . . . disconnection from former friends and family, intense pressure to remain blindly devoted to the cause or charismatic leader, syrupy thick external positivity masking "group think" dogma requirements, personality assessments from the cult "authorities", "reeducation" camp type tactics to enforce appropriate beliefs and behaviors, and so on.

Doctors, lawyers, the works. It’s this egotistical “I’m to smart for a cult so this is surely not a cult” that cults do in fact use quite ingeniously.

@@tonygunns8439 it's your choice if you wanna be in a cult and if it's working for you, than so be it and I would hope it's working for the others who are there. Cults are not me. But they do interest me to study them thru psychologists point of view.
@@redwoodrebelgirl3010 So sorry for my crude humor in my comment. But I can't imagine myself in a cult. But wow that's awesome you escaped one, but it took a lot of guts to leave that cult, huh? What was the name of the group if you don't mind me asking? And what weird things did they do and make you do in the cult?
I am always shocked and confused how intelligent, socially integrated people go into these cults. I have know two women who joined the Moonies and Children of God. they were very active in university activities, had friends and family who loved them and appreciated them. Yet both disappeared into these cults. Our only knowledge of what happened to them is they worked very hard through letters ( this was 50 years ago) to try to convert the rest of us.
It is interesting . . . a certain percentage of the population has some sort of internal mental switch that gets activated, and they get pulled into the fanatical group think mentality syndrome with the [fill in the blank] cult. Various personality profiles have been theoretically examined to explain this, but in many cases, it's still mostly a mystery.
People want to believe that they personally are capable of understanding the deepest mysteries of the universe . . . without understanding physics or math.
I think some people have a desire to seek an alternative purpose or "reality", and there's nothing more divine than space wizards. It's not that unusual as humanity has been experimenting with religious cults for thousands of years. You can make an argument that we evolved with religion.
ATTENTION!!!!! HELL IS REAL !!! Where will you go when you die? Heaven or Hell? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. We must repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ if we want to be set free and saved from Hell. MARK 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
I live near them so I know this community very well but you must show the dark side of the Damanhur also. The founder Airaudi has robbed thousands of families by promising them a little stress-free paradise, but to do so the adepts have to give EVERYTHING they have to the boss...
@@tomondiek2839 they appear to use the same exploitative modus operandi...bar using violence to get what they require from members. No doubt, we ll see how long it will be before we begin to hear these accusations if other past cults are anything to go by. That and the marriages/ sexual exploitation of attendees. I think this may be where their age holds them in good stead as this has usually involved younger people in past.
My son took his life eight years ago. He was 34 a person who was loved by everyone he came in contact with. He never showed any signs of not being well in the slightest. He loves looking into space and one day he told me he had pictures of mars but he had to sign a contract that he wouldn’t put then on the internet or publicly disclose. He showed me some , and he would say you can do better than that and maybe a couple of days later he would get a few new. Out of no where he thought the tv was talking to him and he thought helicopters were spying on him and just a bunch of stuff that made no sense. He said he said he was told that he killed someone and bury him in his backyard and said mom I would never do something like that.. When I learned a problem, I was out of town and they would take me a day to get home so I told his wife to watch my son until I got there to take my son to talk to someone and he killed his self before I can get there. I don’t understand what the hell happened. All started with his fascination with mars in these photos. I had to accept it happened but it took five years.
I am so deeply sorry for you loss. Sending you so much love and many hugs. ✨ A similar thing happened to me. It turned out i had pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disorder, which meant that I could not absorb vitamin B12 which is essential to life and good mental health. So, essentially my brain was dieing. In the years since I have cured myself and I have done s lot of research which point's to many, if not all poor mental health issues being caused by nutritional deficiencies/ low levels. And that most can be improved or cured by high dose full spectrum nutritional supplements. We are organic beings who need nutrients to thrive and flourish. I am now on my path to try to become s nutritional psychiatrist as I don't want others to suffer like your son an I. I also tried to take my life and fortunately I survived. But I was very close to death. There is a really interesting book called "The Better Brain" by Dr Julia Rucklidge PhD and Dr Bonnie Kaplan PhD which explores this and research on the information mentioned above. ✨💖✨
It sounds like he may have possibly suffered a schizophrenic episode..schizophrenia doesn’t show up on a brain scan and is only diagnosed through behavior making it hard to treat. A lot of people suffer from it and we don’t even know until it’s too late. I’ve worked with schizophrenic patients when they’re not medicated and you’d never believe the places their mind takes them.
It seems as much art community as cult to me. I could very easily see many non-believers living out their days happily in this place, singing the songs, and going to the community events while playing make believe with your friends. It seems the aesthetic of spirituality yields beautiful artwork, and always has. The frescoes on the walls, stone masonry art, architecture, stained glass installations, jewelry, lighting arrangement, etc... It's all very beautiful in my opinion. Artists aren't really known for being wealthy individuals, with the obvious exceptions of a select few. Giving up all of your possessions to live in a beautiful place like this and have your needs met is going to be a different kind of proposition to different kinds of people. I don't think you would have to truly believe in time travel and alien visitors and such to enjoy living here.
I'm starting a new art cult. The aesthetic is to die for... Please just don't call it a cult. Also will you die for my cult? Your new name Is Lentil and you are invited to dinner.
George Carlin once said that when you are born into this world you get a seat to the Freakshow, but if you are born in America you get a front-row seat, and some of us even have little notepads taking notes. This is a prime example of that.
Well, one actual and positive fact of all this is that this curly lady who sings in the temple can actually sing and sings really good. I liked her song. Whatever song that was.
Anyone who wants to understand wtf they're on about without having to give your entire life away should check out Hemi-Sync. It was developed in the 80's, still a bit woo woo, but essentially they worked out most spiritual experiences are sound based, making use of bi-neural beats. My theory is that it makes you much more aware of your entire nervous system, hence all the talk of tingles and warmth etc and releases natural stores of various neuro transmitters, such as a psychedelic like DMT giving you that experience of meeting with elves, energy beings, aliens, gods, what have you. Attach all that to some symbols, some lore and some psychological manipulation and presto: Cult.
Ha, The Gateway Experience. I’ve actually tried those meditations for a while before sleep, and it was incredibly calming and felt like a really nice way to connect with my body right before bed.

I used to live in Mt. Shasta, California, which is also a mecca for goofballs like this who will also spend a literal fortune on a pile of resin and copper wire or a necklace of crystals. This is what happens when people lose touch with their traditional indigenous knowledge, which most westernized people around the world have, at this point.
As an artist I can tell you. The imagination is so powerful. It is easier than you think to make yourself believe in truly outrageous things. If you swim too deep you may never come back up.
I don’t believe this because there is no way an Italian engineer made something that time travelled AND got back again without breaking down and getting stuck in 1992.
Well, at least an Italian time machine would have nice aesthetics, you know, like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Not like those silly British time machines. A telephone box? Really? At least the Americans had the good sense to put their flux capacitor in a DeLorean.

I am an isolated mind. After covid withdrew fron society, however i am an observer of behaviours and patterns also so, no cult for me. However i have made myself extremely mentally stronger than i was. I think joining a cult may disempower you from working on yourself.
Love Italy. Love the art. REALLY love the food. Not so much love for the cult. Edit: better than Scientology, though.......they make art, and it's in Italy.
I remember stumbling upon this cult when I was going down a "plants can feel pain and learn/teach musical scales" rabbit hole. I wrote them a letter inquiring about blueprints for the midi device they built to translate electrical impulses from the plants to midi notes and they refused to share their research with me since I wasn't in the cult. I never knew how utterly cracked out they were at the maximum. That "freqency healing bed thingy" or whatever is super cracked the F out and ghetto as hell.... code? different issue different program .. um what the..?? that thing wasnt doing a thing... spaced
It's probably just a Makey Makey hooked up to a soft-synth that generates pitches based on a given scale. There are a few logical jumps from emitting electrical impulses to music-making; I would say we're projecting our own understandings of sound onto inanimate objects like plants. Potato batteries have been around for a long time!

@@tonygunns8439 it's your choice if you wanna be in a cult and if it's working for you, than so be it and I would hope it's working for the others who are there. Cults are not me. But they do interest me to study them thru psychologists point of view.
@@redwoodrebelgirl3010 So sorry for my crude humor in my comment. But I can't imagine myself in a cult. But wow that's awesome you escaped one, but it took a lot of guts to leave that cult, huh? What was the name of the group if you don't mind me asking? And what weird things did they do and make you do in the cult?
I am always shocked and confused how intelligent, socially integrated people go into these cults. I have know two women who joined the Moonies and Children of God. they were very active in university activities, had friends and family who loved them and appreciated them. Yet both disappeared into these cults. Our only knowledge of what happened to them is they worked very hard through letters ( this was 50 years ago) to try to convert the rest of us.
It is interesting . . . a certain percentage of the population has some sort of internal mental switch that gets activated, and they get pulled into the fanatical group think mentality syndrome with the [fill in the blank] cult. Various personality profiles have been theoretically examined to explain this, but in many cases, it's still mostly a mystery.
People want to believe that they personally are capable of understanding the deepest mysteries of the universe . . . without understanding physics or math.
I think some people have a desire to seek an alternative purpose or "reality", and there's nothing more divine than space wizards. It's not that unusual as humanity has been experimenting with religious cults for thousands of years. You can make an argument that we evolved with religion.
Shocked by abuse/torture for a purpose?
ATTENTION!!!!! HELL IS REAL !!! Where will you go when you die? Heaven or Hell? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. We must repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ if we want to be set free and saved from Hell. MARK 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Unfortunate that the time machine was "out of operation", because then she could've just stepped through and interviewed Falco himself🤣🤦♂️
As a drummer, I appreciate that brief plug for Paiste cymbals
The time travel portal was "out of service!" LOL.
Just needs a bit of McDonald's ice cream
I wonder if they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.
"Damanhur shunned the media, but by promising not to call this cult a cult, I've managed to get an invitation..."
Not much logic in these people.. But I envy them for being this happy and being part of this small but very close society.
Society is lonelier, culture wars, more suicidal, more self obsessed etc etc. These people aren't the 'crazies' anymore, they're perfectly normal now.
@@nocapnobs7845 they are more connected to nature than most human beings
Ignorance is bliss and I’m sure they get a pretty nice place to live

You envy stupid people with no logic? You envy people that give their salary to a cult? 😆
she really got saved as the Time travel machine was out of service, she was already afraid of being stuck there. Thank god.
I live near them so I know this community very well but you must show the dark side of the Damanhur also. The founder Airaudi has robbed thousands of families by promising them a little stress-free paradise, but to do so the adepts have to give EVERYTHING they have to the boss...
A "charlatan" group
You cant fix stupid
Sounds like every other cult to me.
basically an insane mafia
@@tomondiek2839 they appear to use the same exploitative modus operandi...bar using violence to get what they require from members. No doubt, we ll see how long it will be before we begin to hear these accusations if other past cults are anything to go by. That and the marriages/ sexual exploitation of attendees. I think this may be where their age holds them in good stead as this has usually involved younger people in past.
A new vice documentary is always a blessing
either this is one of the most hard to believe things i've ever seen or i'm more stoned than I realize
My son took his life eight years ago. He was 34 a person who was loved by everyone he came in contact with. He never showed any signs of not being well in the slightest. He loves looking into space and one day he told me he had pictures of mars but he had to sign a contract that he wouldn’t put then on the internet or publicly disclose. He showed me some , and he would say you can do better than that and maybe a couple of days later he would get a few new. Out of no where he thought the tv was talking to him and he thought helicopters were spying on him and just a bunch of stuff that made no sense. He said he said he was told that he killed someone and bury him in his backyard and said mom I would never do something like that.. When I learned a problem, I was out of town and they would take me a day to get home so I told his wife to watch my son until I got there to take my son to talk to someone and he killed his self before I can get there. I don’t understand what the hell happened. All started with his fascination with mars in these photos. I had to accept it happened but it took five years.
I am so deeply sorry for you loss. Sending you so much love and many hugs. ✨ A similar thing happened to me. It turned out i had pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disorder, which meant that I could not absorb vitamin B12 which is essential to life and good mental health. So, essentially my brain was dieing. In the years since I have cured myself and I have done s lot of research which point's to many, if not all poor mental health issues being caused by nutritional deficiencies/ low levels. And that most can be improved or cured by high dose full spectrum nutritional supplements. We are organic beings who need nutrients to thrive and flourish. I am now on my path to try to become s nutritional psychiatrist as I don't want others to suffer like your son an I. I also tried to take my life and fortunately I survived. But I was very close to death. There is a really interesting book called "The Better Brain" by Dr Julia Rucklidge PhD and Dr Bonnie Kaplan PhD which explores this and research on the information mentioned above. ✨💖✨

It sounds like he may have possibly suffered a schizophrenic episode..schizophrenia doesn’t show up on a brain scan and is only diagnosed through behavior making it hard to treat. A lot of people suffer from it and we don’t even know until it’s too late. I’ve worked with schizophrenic patients when they’re not medicated and you’d never believe the places their mind takes them.
Sounds like " voice to skull" technology. Or a 'targeted individual victim'. Look those terms up. Sorry for your loss 😔🙏
All sounds like a Costco signature brand version of scientology
Purely on the artistic and creative side, they have some wonderful taste in regards to the murals, architecture etc. Thats about it tho
This is giving me Midsomar vibe 😆
I watched it dressed as a bear. 🐻
@@bloatedsodium7301 Too funny in the most macabre way.
That was very well done. You did well to not laugh in their faces
It seems as much art community as cult to me. I could very easily see many non-believers living out their days happily in this place, singing the songs, and going to the community events while playing make believe with your friends. It seems the aesthetic of spirituality yields beautiful artwork, and always has. The frescoes on the walls, stone masonry art, architecture, stained glass installations, jewelry, lighting arrangement, etc... It's all very beautiful in my opinion.
Artists aren't really known for being wealthy individuals, with the obvious exceptions of a select few. Giving up all of your possessions to live in a beautiful place like this and have your needs met is going to be a different kind of proposition to different kinds of people. I don't think you would have to truly believe in time travel and alien visitors and such to enjoy living here.
spoken like our new leader!💸 where we headed?!
Right?! Looks pretty bomb to me to be honest 😆 Sick jewellery or "healing devices" and everything lol
Some people like being under the provision of others like a child.
@@GabsR-N Some people like being under the provision of others like a child.
I'm starting a new art cult. The aesthetic is to die for... Please just don't call it a cult. Also will you die for my cult? Your new name Is Lentil and you are invited to dinner.
This makes you think if other old temples we uncovered was possibly filled with cult like people as well
All religions are cults. They just have more followers.
Interesting thought...!
George Carlin once said that when you are born into this world you get a seat to the Freakshow, but if you are born in America you get a front-row seat, and some of us even have little notepads taking notes.
This is a prime example of that.
LOL
But this is in Italy not America
Thank you for convincing them to interview. Can't help but notice the people are not wearing the healing jewelry...
I envy them to believe in something that much. I wish I was that gullible and loony sometimes. It seems fun and they seem happy.
They’re abuse and probably torture victims.
It's like if Italian Burners set up a permanent monastery but without the drugs.
more like: stuck in a neverending dmt trip
There is a city here in Egypt called Damanhur! It's an ancient egyptian name. I wonder why they have chosen that particular name!!
Coincidence?
its not coincidence. this was chosen on purpose by the founder.
Damanhur is named after the Egyptian city of Damanhur which was the site of a temple dedicated to Horus.
I feel like a lot of these fringe groups just see something Egyptian and choose it because of some perceived mysticism that's unique to the country.
Well, one actual and positive fact of all this is that this curly lady who sings in the temple can actually sing and sings really good. I liked her song. Whatever song that was.
Anyone who wants to understand wtf they're on about without having to give your entire life away should check out Hemi-Sync. It was developed in the 80's, still a bit woo woo, but essentially they worked out most spiritual experiences are sound based, making use of bi-neural beats. My theory is that it makes you much more aware of your entire nervous system, hence all the talk of tingles and warmth etc and releases natural stores of various neuro transmitters, such as a psychedelic like DMT giving you that experience of meeting with elves, energy beings, aliens, gods, what have you. Attach all that to some symbols, some lore and some psychological manipulation and presto: Cult.
Ha, The Gateway Experience. I’ve actually tried those meditations for a while before sleep, and it was incredibly calming and felt like a really nice way to connect with my body right before bed. I still have the files on my laptop so I might try it again sometime :)
Here’s a link for anyone curious: th-cam.com/video/uqlaRHyZJqU/w-d-xo.html
I've done hemi sync! Also with some glasses on that flashed different lights. It was an extremely relaxing and slightly visionary experience
Hemi sync is just rebranded binaural beats but the effect is real. Causes change in brain synchronization. CIA studied it but no recent research.
Used for Remote Viewing.
@@MrAgmooreokay 😅
I used to live in Mt. Shasta, California, which is also a mecca for goofballs like this who will also spend a literal fortune on a pile of resin and copper wire or a necklace of crystals. This is what happens when people lose touch with their traditional indigenous knowledge, which most westernized people around the world have, at this point.
wait, what? "traditional indigenous knowledge" is the solution? that's just more hokum
Yes they should be blowing corn pollen towards the rising sun and smoking sage in a sauna lol.
These people aren’t even American what are you talking about
@3g0st It’s not an “association” it’s an actual “indigenous ritual”? Have you ever even met a Native of America or been on a Reservation?
They are all the same scrap,religion,tradition,culture,cult etc. Anything to keep man busy.
As an artist I can tell you. The imagination is so powerful. It is easier than you think to make yourself believe in truly outrageous things. If you swim too deep you may never come back up.
I don’t believe this because there is no way an Italian engineer made something that time travelled AND got back again without breaking down and getting stuck in 1992.
😆😆😆
YES
Well, at least an Italian time machine would have nice aesthetics, you know, like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Not like those silly British time machines. A telephone box? Really? At least the Americans had the good sense to put their flux capacitor in a DeLorean.

What would you have these ppl do? Try to fit into a society, a world they feel alien to? Let them live.

'this neclace is made of the same things as a computer so we can program it to do different things'
Someone was smart enough to build that stargate prop so someone is obviously taking advantage of the disadvantaged...
This coverage is very helpful. These groups always have secret motivates the further indoctrinated you get. It’s baby steps.
They’re probably abuse/torture victims.

I just amazed when the local fortune teller just said,"Time travel is very complex thing".
Its amazing what an isolated mind will turn to in search for comunity
Wanting to belong and loneliness is a killer. These poor desperate people give everything to belong when everything is already within. A sad cosmic joke I am afraid. Of course, greedy blood sucking leaches are also present ...
I am an isolated mind. After covid withdrew fron society, however i am an observer of behaviours and patterns also so, no cult for me. However i have made myself extremely mentally stronger than i was. I think joining a cult may disempower you from working on yourself.
Do what... lol bruh the way this started was epic, Ole girl was channeling hahahahah
Love Italy. Love the art. REALLY love the food.
Not so much love for the cult.
Edit: better than Scientology, though.......they make art, and it's in Italy.
Not a cult!
As an Italian I think the temple is really impressive and beautiful, but they cult, "anche no", as we say.

I remember stumbling upon this cult when I was going down a "plants can feel pain and learn/teach musical scales" rabbit hole. I wrote them a letter inquiring about blueprints for the midi device they built to translate electrical impulses from the plants to midi notes and they refused to share their research with me since I wasn't in the cult. I never knew how utterly cracked out they were at the maximum. That "freqency healing bed thingy" or whatever is super cracked the F out and ghetto as hell.... code? different issue different program .. um what the..?? that thing wasnt doing a thing... spaced
plants definatly react to music...ive seen it
When I did mushrooms I realized plants were as alive as us and have spirits, it was pretty scary tbh like that movie The Ruins
It's probably just a Makey Makey hooked up to a soft-synth that generates pitches based on a given scale. There are a few logical jumps from emitting electrical impulses to music-making; I would say we're projecting our own understandings of sound onto inanimate objects like plants. Potato batteries have been around for a long time!
“Ghetto “?
Nah man don’t say ghetto but yeah it’s strange for real
Great video, have always known there’s more to life than meets the eye, I feel like in this life i am supposed to be doing more than i am doing for the people i love. been seeking for an eye opening enlightenment, a way to be more influential, powerful and protected. ~

This is nothing more of a classic example of salesman tactics. Use people's downfalls and prey upon them. I mean devices that do Nothing and then saying something like, "It may not work for YOU".. Is utter BS. To fall for it, implifies pure desperation.
"We can program the jewelry, like a computer. It's the same." The guy goes into the next room and presses some marbles while making "Beep, bop, boop" noises. He programmed the jewelry to take your money.
