Ananas, i could not have said it better and can confirm nearly everything that you say in your post. And yes lets talk openly about the use of black magic here. Black magicians can look like normal beings at first, or can be very sweet and seductive. Be warned where you may fall into without even knowing it.

i never forgot from book INITIATION written by Elisabeth Haich, a yoga teacher, words of a High Priest in ancient Egypt to a young would-be novice: "Moved to the depths of my being, I fall to my knees before Him. Ptahhotep holds out his hand, raises me to my feet, and says: My little daughter, never bend your knees before a visible form. Do not humble within yourself the divinity that eve

Testimonial found on Facebook (perhaps better not mention the page in view of what Annette said just above?) After just hearing about the tragic death of Flo Camoin at Monte Sahaja I would like to share my experience after following Mooji for the past year.

Welcome Annette and big thank you for speaking out. I was just thinking this morning how important it is that people who have had first hand experience with Moo speak out and know that they dont stand alone. I never lived in Monte Sahaja, only went to a couple of retreats with this teacher and followed him online where we get the official version of Moo which easily creates online devotees of a p

Hello Not-afraidofmooji! I hear your point. If i understand correctly, we are dealing with an organization (promoted as to help their clients/students find spiritual Freedom) that has its members/head/team/lawyer join this thread under an anonymous name not to contribute or help members questioning and/or having experienced issues with that organization's methods and actions, BUT to use i

This lady C. S. is an elderly lady who is one of the greatest fans of Moo and in total adoration of him from what i gathered from her very many posts on the Sangha Facebook group. So dont expect her to have an objective view on the topic. I noticed that she stayed for a little while in Sahaja and was completely thrilled with the experience as this was her most cherished wish to meet the master

I would like to thank all the new contributors to this thread with their sharing. Much respect and admiration for all you guys who made it out of the Mooji's influence and particularly those who lived for awhile in Monte Sahaja. You are the living proof of the power of the human mind to pass the "test by Life" represented by Mooji as Papajisaysno calls it. But it is a recovery proc

Hello Aline, I am fairly new to this forum but i hope you will read the many posts and find the information here as helpful as it has been for my own questioning why i had followed Mooji for so long and how I understood what Freedom really is once I stopped following Mooji. I am feeling even embarrassed to admit that I had been a deluded follower of his. There are personal reasons why I was hook

I did a little comparison exercice between 2 modern spiritual teachers, Mooji and Byron Katie: 1) Both have built up a big business and worldwide network "family" on the enlightenment market with help of modern technology. 2) Both have based their teaching method on their own individual awakening experience and teach a "new" kind of method: the Work for Byron Katie, the

As myself an ex-wife of a less famous "guru" i was keenly observant of Radha during my time with Mooji. From experience i knew how psychologically difficult it is to be the young wife of a guru. You are married to a man who is to your amazement looked upon as a god, when you as his intimate partner experience him as the ordinary man he is with his bright and not so bright sides. I saw t

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

Another point before i take a break : Mooji likes to talk about his sangha as "family". I think mixing the concept of "family" and what it entails with association around a teacher is fallacious in subtle ways, especially that the final goal is freedom from all bondage from teacher/tools and methods.Try to get out of such a family/sangha/egregor/pendulum* entity, and you will

On questioning Mooji let us listen to what someone has to say: " As a person who has been involved in investigative journalism for 25 years, I would say that what Be Scofield reports is both credible and troubling.
