A very informative article from the Questioning Mooji facebook page: The author has written a compilation of what other spiritual teachers have to say about Moo and none of it is very flattering. Jeff Brown has this to say: "Tony (aka Mooji) always struck me as deeply delusional." Jeff does not mince his words! Even Joan Tollifson has re-posted her initial response

Thanks PapajisaysNO, for sharing that video. I felt very sorry for that particular teacher explaining manipulation and abuse by spiritual teachers- she seemed confused at times, lost for words at other times... To me, it seemed like she was very unsure and unhappy, trying desperately to hold on to some beliefs about non-duality while at the same time recognizing how non-dualist positions ca

A very interesting talk Esther Rockett gave to locals in Lismore, Australia about UM recently: It goes for two hours but is well worth watching as a good descriptive overview of how a cult operates, as far as their finances, their sneaky infiltration of communities and their recruitment processes. I found this video extremely helpful and educational.

Thank you Corboy for sharing that article, which is very interesting and deserves further consideration. The big problem I have with Moo's teachings about the 'pure self' is that he seems to be pointing towards a kind of nihilism, where nothing matters and people don't really even exist. I think it is causing vulnerable people to disassociate from themselves and enter into

Godhimself, I'm not sure how old Radha was at her wedding to Moo. Looking at the photos I would suggest that she was certainly an adult. I have read that she was 26 when she came to Monte Sahaja- I don't know if that is accurate. I have been told that Hindu wedding ceremonies are legally binding in India and that you need to get a divorce through the court system if you are going

The Moo Group go to such extremes to eradicate any evidence of Mooji ever being involved with Radha- as though she no longer exists, or in fact never existed. They ignore the fact that many people were present at Moo and Radha's wedding and that it took place only 7 years ago. Can people be so easily convinced that the wedding never happened? That Radha was a figment of their imaginations

I have something that Mooj's team can't take down so easily. This was a public Facebook conversation that took place over two weeks ago under one of the many, many copies of Be Scofield's article that have been shared all over Facebook and beyond... This conversation has been up for over two weeks and been seen by countless people, no doubt, but just in case it gets deleted I

Thanks for sharing that post, Clearvision. It is a very insightful view of a fragile "Guru" in need of adoration.

Also an interesting comment from Reddit by a person called "InterestingBad2": "I had a lot of love and respect for him (Mooji), having met him in 2012, and felt that he was the 'real thing' so to speak.

PapajisaysNO, I found a comment by Rick Archer from BATGAP on Be Scofield's Facebook page. Since it's a public page, I feel it's Ok to share Rick's thoughts here as well.

Clearvision clearly has vision! Rick Archer has supported our cause by leaving up all the comments by questioning spiritual seekers, yet deleting the interviews with Moo. This is all very good.

Hi PapajisaysNo, no, I don't think it was me that made this prediction. Maybe Ganga Tarot Lady? lol I think there was much speculation at BATGAP, as Rick Archer had removed video interviews in the past due to those particular spiritual teachers being found suspect. I don't think Rick Archer has released any comment regarding this development, but watch this space. On anoth

Good news today - the videos of Mooji's interviews have been removed from the Buddha at the Gas Pump Community on Facebook. There has been quite a lot of negative feedback on Moo in conversations at BATGAP with several very diligent people sharing information from this very forum- Cult Education Institute. It looks like the administrators have made the decision to take Mooji's mater

Thank you for sharing that article, Corboy and thanks for your insightful comments, Swissalyst. I read Dr. Antonakis's findings with great interest, as I think they reflect my own experiences with Moo's cult. I believe I was hypnotized over the Internet by watching Moo's material. I know it sounds far-fetched. I found the Moo satsung videos very addictive and mind-altering. At

PapajisaysNo, there is a "Part 2" to the first video you shared with us, and it's really informative! It starts off a bit silly and humorous, but if you stick with it, it's very interesting and the presenter has a lot of very valid points. Interesting how he compares the female followers of Moo to Charles Manson's followers- being rather like hypnotized zombi

I actually worry she might turn to a new shonky Guru at this vulnerable point in her life.... th

Thanks for sharing the comment you found, Clearvision. I notice that the person wrote how Mooji ordered the heron "shot dead from the sky!" Do the Mooji Group have firearms there at the compound in Portugal? I believe the Osho group also amassed firearms while they were in the U.S. If the Mooji Cult have firearms, are they registered? Do they observe proper safety guidelin

PapajisaysNo, "You know we hear a lot of unnamed sources in the news". Absolutely, yes, PapajisaysNo. This is not a new thing.

Yes PapajisaysNO, this Joan Tollifson person falls all over herself to defend Moo on one hand and initiate a "balanced discussion" on the other hand. I think she is just trying to get on the band-wagon and drum up some traffic for her own business empire (such as it is.) Still, she does us a small favor in giving people yet another platform to speak out about the abuses they have

Clearvision, that is very interesting. I think we will see a lot of support groups being set up now, as there seems to be more victims willing to talk about their experiences. These support groups are set up by kind-hearted people with the best of intentions. However, I will urge people to be very careful, as such groups attract Moo cult members who wish to infiltrate the groups and cause h

It's unusual that Moo would ask for the people's forgiveness. Are we getting closer to a confession from Moo? His team are asking people to stop kissing Moo's feet, too. Now, a simple 'namaste' on greeting the great Moo will suffice. Why? Why the changes? We are in the dark here. Henri Jolicoeur has taken down his material -that is a turnabout. Henri seemed
