Passing this along. Does anybody see anything of value here? Seems kind of excessive to me (i.e. hogwash), but I'm not drawing any conclusions.

Seems weird to me, but whatever floats your boat. I think a lot of people consider it a cult.

I call stupendous bullshit on this crap. Hogwash of massive proportions, and proof that naive people are willing to buy into anything.
I myself like Bashar's material. Not because I necessarily believe it's inspired by some interdimensional alien channeling, but because it sounds quite funny, thought provoking and interesting, it's out there in the same way that a decent sci fi movie would be.
All of this channeled stuff is IMO best taken as pure sci fi, as a source of random ideas to think about.

This chick I don't like because she's way too bland. If you're going to play possession by some interdimesional entity, at least work up a funny accent, change your voice, wear some interesting shit like the Raelians do, make a little effort

Yeah, the fact that she has the same accent in every video is an indication that it's just acting. I remember seeing a video where she supposedly mediated Jim Morrison, and he definitely has a different accent than her. They had a YouTube account that got banned after putting up over a thoyusand videos, probably because YouTube was sick of hosting their bullshit. 
There's a blog devoted to exposing them: http://destenicult.blogspot.com/

Took a quick look. Saw a lot of references to "money" and selling and buying stuff. Red flags, that. Never a good sign.
I'd be interested in hearing about others' experiences, but in my experience there are very few sites on the web where you can explore spirituality and mysticism (as in this Shroomery forum) without being bombarded by money begs and/or the "selling" of one discipline or the other (Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, etc.).
New Age sites, in particular, are notorious for "selling" stuff.

Well actually the Anti-Desteni people make pretty decent videos, so it wasn't all in vain
