Protection? From Whom? Just to be clear, it is not to protect Bob and Kathy from Mooji or his people that I did not name them. It was to protect them from getting enmeshed in on-line debates in which they have no interest in participating. They shared their experiences and feelings with no expectation or desire to do so any more or to be pulled into one side or another of a “controvers

A Quick Note Sahara71, you are wanting to "go enjoy my life now. :)))" Exactly. That's where Bob and Kathy, who's views and such have been discussed quite a bit on the "Mooji a cult?" forum, are at. They never committed to discussing all this more, and are in a great place in their lives. Hence, I will not do anything that might disturb their peace... (A

Just to be More Clear... Bob and Kathy answered questions that evening over dinner. At the time they were very open about everything. They never committed to being asked questions at any time.

JUST TO BE CLEAR... And to Answer the Questions ---Bob and Kathy are no longer "with Mooji" or his group. They haven't been for about two years, possibly longer. They never had a definitive split. They just gradually stopped going to the Ashram, and moved on when the time and person was right. ---They have no ill feelings towards Mooji or anyone in his group. (I believe they

For Heather: “No Guru!” For me: No Group think, and No Blind Obedience I think Heather and I are saying exactly the same thing. As usual with James Swartz, he only does good things accidentally. Even mentioning Ramana or Shankara is a good thing to new seekers, even as much else he says is lies and drivel. In Heather’s case his misuse of Guru-ship” taught her to never put faith in any person.

Regarding the Open Letter to Mooji More typos than I like, and certainly many more then usual, occurred in that Post. It was written late at night on a tablet with fading power, poor light, and...
