I am glad that you are OK, Corboy.
I am recovering from my unfortunate brush with Moo. It's really hard, because the 'trance induction' stuff does something to you. You feel really let down when you realize that you have been duped and fooled. It's pretty scary stuff...
I know that in France they have laws to protect against people the use of thought-reform and brain-washing, but obviously Portugal must be lagging behind in this respect.
But if a french citizen were to return to France from the Moo ashram... I'm just saying, that I think something could be done about this. If Moo were reported to the french authorities, there would then be some kind of warning put out by the french authorities to officially recommend people stop going over to the Moo compound?
I think this is a possibility!
About the possessions by demons and exorcisms performed 'regularly' by Moo:
I'm glad these are nothing to do with Advaita. Knowing that Moo performs exorcisms may be enough to warn serious followers of Advaita against visiting Moo.
I can see how the use of exorcisms might instill fear into someone, or indeed, a crowd of people. If someone goes to the Moo compound with some kind of mental health problem, then Moo insinuates that they have the 'Devil in them', they are going to either believe him, or else deteriorate in their mental capacity, or both. No-one wants to believe that they are possessed by a demon. That would be a terrifying situation. But by performing these exorcisms, Moo is allowing people to think such a thing is possible!
It's very, very manipulative. And to think this kind of thing is used on people who go there for Moo's help. It's human rights abuse.
Manipulation, exploitation and abuse.
