Joyfree, you nailed it! I wholeheartly agree and say YES to how you describe everything! Thank you for your contribution. you wrote: " It is important to know that doing seva doesn’t free you from paying for being there!!!

Hi snapping.out I agree very much with what you say and your analysis! I did hear M saying that too: "I don't trust anybody. They say they love you, and then they stab you in the back." Also he tells his closer disciples that they are like the 12 apostles and that at some point one of them will betray and reveal him like Judas did with Jesus. The huge land he did buy a

Corboy you wrote: "BTW if Moo is a tax exempt entity, what he does is our business, even those of us who have never been involved with him. Why?Those of us who do pay our taxes indirectly subsidize the gurus who do not pay tax." Yes, that is true. So it is exploitation of everyone.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Corboy, thank you for your analysis. You are right and at the same time in my personal opinion it could be a very HEALTHY FIRST step for M devotees, to release M out of his GOD status and see, that he is human (feet of clay) und not the enlightened master they thought. I can only speak for myself: it was a longer process, step after step, to get out of the cult. And after the first step: seei

Sad to hear that his censorship is so effective. I copied some comments yesterday, obviously just before "questioning Mooji" was taken down. A person Toby commented to the posting about worship and kissing feet and I found it interesting, because he has seen behind the curtains of Osho and is comparing it to M and Monte Sahaja. It is 4 quotes of Toby, other comments were in between

This might have been posted before, "Questioning Mooji" just shared a link to an article on PsychCentral "14 Ways Narcissists Can Be Like Cult Leaders" And yes, every single point fits M and his movement.

2cents thank you for sharing the video link, I think every discussion and opinion is useful! Sahara, thank you for typing the letter. I can imagine others also have received letters. Yes, it would be great if someone shows the document on the internet.

Sahara, you wrote "I'm just thinking that if a deformation case were to proceed, a lot of witnesses will be called to testify- and they are bound under oath to tell the truth. The pressure of having to testify could well break the brain-washed zombie spell for some of them, and they will talk. Well, the outcome of that would be very unpredictable for the Moo group, as we are talking h

I found this on Facebook "questioning Mooji" (as this site is public, I post the comment here): Joan Tollifson writes: I don't want to be involved any more in this whole endeavor. I agree that intimate partnerships between teacher and student or teacher and devotee are unconventional and generally not egalitarian in nature (although I feel that with a mature student--and I

Btw, M. once mentioned that he grew up in the 7th Adventist Church, which seems to be a fundamental christian cult, where they believe in the end times, the coming of Christ and where they do exorcisms and talk in tongues. Also just recently one person here in the forum was mentioned, who knew "Michael the Mystic" as a "normal" memeber of a christian house cult. I think, t

LOL, PapajisaysNo, your new interpretaion of the Christ story is great. Yes, I think exposing his legal actions is very important. No enlightened master would do that. Ramana Maharshi was not touched at all by criticsm, David Godman said in one of his videos..

I am so sorry for Annette, I can imagine what she is going through. Everyone who speaks up, if they know exactly who this person is (and M always tries very hard to find out who exactly said what on internet), is attacked heavily by M’s army. Yes, we know YOU are reading this, you are part of an army! And I think she is bombarded with messages, calls, visits in person (if possible), energetically

Hi everyone! I did spend a few years in and around Sahaja and I am currently writing a long text about it.

The Emin managed to keep below the radar, most likely because they lived in the large shadow that Gurdjieff cast. Their founder Leo appropriated a bunch of Gurdjieff's teachings and attitudes. He also had a very high opinion of himself and played a double game. Members were invited to check some harmless things out for themselves, and on the strength of that bought into a totally unverifiabl
