Thanks Corboy,
It's confusing, because the Advaita message, or Moo's "pointings" are supposed to be simple and you are supposed to become instantly enlightened from them.
So it doesn't make any sense that you should have to pay extra to meet the teacher in person, or attend some kind of retreat or event, because if the teachings were so simple, you wouldn't need to do this at all!
So it looks to me like people are not becoming enlightened in droves. It looks like all these teachings are completely ineffectual, there is a complete failure to deliver any kind of result at all!!
People are not becoming enlightened, but they continue to waste their time and money, anyway. The further they get into it, the more they are willing to spend. Then the new "recruits" see others willing to spend up big and they must assume there is something in it. If others are doing it, it must be good, right? It's catchy.... like a new fashion.
One person wears a beard and a lumberjack shirt and the next thing you know, everyone is doing it! It catches on.
Still no enlightenment.... Still the same lame and confusing teachings being spouted out, over and over again. Hear them in person, read them in a book, watch them on YouTube. It goes like this (for those of you who have missed it.)
: "You are not really you, you are the one witnessing the witness but is the witness also you or are you not you?" Reload and repeat.
And repeat.
And once more, with feeling.
You can read it read for free, no need to go to Moo's retreats. No need to do anything. If this teaching were really spiritual, money would not be changing hands. Spiritual people don't even want money, they aren't interested in it and they don't crave it.
A truly spiritual person would be off helping the poor and the destitute, they would not be spouting clap-trap that confuses people.
