Incidentally this morning I went with a relative to a Catholic Charismatic Renewal mass. It was an interesting contrast after a year of satsang!
The prayers we read asked God to forgive us if we had done such things as been freemasons; had abortions; engaged in homosexual relations; used prostitutes; followed New Age or Occult practices; and much more, besides. This is a long way from Mooji, I thought! Here there is an old-fashioned notion of sin and repentance. And all in this church are equally sinners before God.
The modern songs of worship were in direct praise of God and Jesus Christ, without the guru/Mooji being in the way. There wasn't the praise of Indian sages and Hindu Gods from traditions that are alien to me. There was not the woolly conflation of "The Buddha, Sri Christ, Lord Shiva" that you hear from Mooji, or the denial of the Crucifixion.
There is certainly a group-think among Mooji fans. If you were to attempt to discuss the appeal of Christianity, they might say "that's just a thought", "that's just your conditioning", "that's your mind" or "that's your ego", without being willing to engage in discussion from outside of their devoted bubble.
A Facebook group was recently started, "Mooji and Christ".
The thought came, "Shouldn't that be 'Mooji or Christ?'"
This thought too was observed, and passed like a cloud in the sky.
