The words mean something to me. They show the way. And they show why I was led to write today. Few know what you express. And the beauty here.

Mooji is neither all good nor all bad. No one can know the truth about him unless he tells it...all we can know if we have been with him is if his words resonate with our experience when he speaks about these accusations. The do not resonate at all with my experience with him. If he were to address this accusation he would have to lie or he would have to tell the truth. Either way he would lo

After 3 years I’ve summed up my experience with MS and Mooji with the following... Either we want love or we want the truth. If you ask someone one the street which they want most will say love. That is why most want to believe in Mooji. I want the truth and after I saw through his image and he’s just an average guy with trauma of his own and not the courage to let go of the devotion to en
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

P.S. Mooji has a way to keep everyone from knowing what’s actually happening and then rationalizing by saying all the same old tired reasons I read as many to defend him from what he and they see as a perceived attack on his image. It’s really not that from my time. It’s my experience and as I left MS I was told by someone there (shh was whispering) send an email that says all the things you see

Hello All. I hope everyone is doing very well. I haven’t been on here for a while but felt to read some yesterday. I could rehash what I have already said. The heron was shot, the babies died. The woman he slept with was not the one that’s a lesbian. People see what they want to when they love Moo. Etc, etc. but I have come to find it a waste of time. I’m sooooo thankful for my time at M.S. an

None of this has any context to my simple request and one thing he said in particular reminded me of what he allegedly did to “Heather”. Yes James Swartz. At least Mooji didn’t do that! Gross.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Sahara71 I need to clarify. James Swartz used these topics in reference to Mooji, describing him as “not violent” and what Mooji did not do to me. You can fill in the blank. The emails were long and rambling and amateur psychoanalysis from a sentence here and there (basically turning my words against me), bullying me, and victim shaming. I am keeping all emails in case I ever need them
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

In closing I am going to be writing a book. I will be using my exchange with James in it as well. I don’t aim to go after any teacher just state what my experiences were, what I saw and what I learned. It’s like a seeker’s guide to the pitfalls that are so common and how to spot them in time to avoid them. I need to make use of all this pain for good after all. I will use specific examples fro

ziziz, Now that takes a really big HEARTED person to write that. I also apologize if I said anything that was offensive. I’m learning to speak my truth and sometimes that can come out too sharp. Peace!
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I have an UPDATE to share, I ended up writing to James Swartz and asking him to please take the article down as I didn’t realize that he would be using my emails and personal story on his webpage. (I didn’t want to be combative so I didn’t bring up the change from what was written between us and what he actually put in the article). His response was to send me the disclaimer and then say

Sorry for delayed response Thank you PapajisaysNo and Joyfree. I was pretty lucky as my warning flags went off with James S. I stopped responding to his emails pretty quickly then I learned the gossip. But I have no idea if it’s true or not. So being near m has increased my “spidey senses” I can definitely feel a huge difference between a teacher like Rupert Spira who would NEVER do thi

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Well Sahara71, It would take one to know one. Maybe it’s projection. His article says once m ran up to him to give him a hug at the airport. Hmmm??? If James has been FALSELY accused, and if he is awake...IF Then why would he believe rumors about someone who ran up to him and gave him a hug who he says he likes? No, it’s not passing the smell test.

Another email from James Swartz Mooji is small potatoes, Anette. He has no real power. But he knows how to intimidate devotees. If you stood up to him, he would leave you alone. I have known him for about 15 years. Two women from his sanga told me about his attempts to get them in bed many years ago. He's basically a small time Osho clone who has created a cult of personality. Any
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

I feel in all fairness to post the email that was James Swartz last one to me. He never asked me not to share and since he has shared my words here are his. In addition I misquoted him earlier as he did not say “urges” it was “unconscious forces”: James Swartz (in what I thought was a confidential email exchange) last replied. It may help your healing to understand that Mooji wouldn't

Thanks for posting this clearvision This is from the Association for Spiritual Integrity: "Teachers will not presume special status because of their role as a spiritual teacher.

Yes, I learned after I read James Swartz announcement re batgap about such allegations. I do not know if they are true or not. Maybe only James and these people or person knows. That’s usually the case. I was set to read his book, I had recently ordered and about to until this discussion on here today. I have no interest in it now and I have chucked it into the trash. He may or may not have be

It wasn’t a personal attack. But I see you took it that way. And that’s your freedom.

But I still answered your questions, a gift from my perceptive of my time, information and energy because I have a heart for truth and you seem in the dark.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Perhaps we will never meet ziziz, But I feel your “empathy for James” May be clouding your views a bit. I don’t feel like spending time anymore dialoguing as you seem unable to see my point. And our dynamic here is pretty open for seeing my point if you so choose. PM me if you would like to resolve any misunderstanding. I’m sure you are a great person as you like Rupert Spira and eventually
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Yes you empathize with James and want someone who feels violated by him to help you defend your beliefs of him by sharing how he violated them. Then I just answer your questions and you say “I agree”. Then you compare my comments to m to distract and then you refuse to hear me when I post further clarification. You feel quite like a dead end to speak with and quite frankly... Twisted.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Good point corboy. Ziziz, See then I could say: so you are comparing me to m? That’s not very heart like. Maybe you can’t see that it seems you lack empathy n your comments toward me. That not to see the violation that later you see and make me prove something is easily perceived as highly lacking in empathy. I haven’t been through enough? Now another betrayal by James Swartz? I

Yes. And we also both like Rupert Spira. So see we agree on two things. :) Peace.

Ziziz Yes he did know and I told him to look it up and see for himself. I pointed him to it. I also told him because I didn’t want a video made by Henri I took it down. He said I was a part of bringing down m. It’s all in the emails. I will not do battle with you. When you read this in a more heart center place you may answer all these questions yourself and see exactly what I am saying

And my statements under my name are also very similar to what I share in confidence to James Swartz. Coincidence? Wouldn’t take a detective to figure it out. I’d pick m over James Swartz any day of the week. I know what I’m dealing with with m. Swartz....well I won’t say.

Because there are no other sources claiming to be in the Be article but Annette Chappelle. It’s just a nice little grey line isn’t it? And you don’t mind that do you? And what’s your real name? Where is your skin in this game? I think you miss a lot of the point regarding trauma, trusting a teacher and violation. I have no time for people who don’t get the point. If I wanted this back an

I think a very personal detail not removed my friend was that I am a source of the Be article. Do you know any other? I don’t feel by your response that I will share much else of what I know because you clearly find him a good teacher so enjoy. You also like m from what you’ve said here so enjoy. Rupert Spira is amazing though. We can agree there.
