"You are not really you, you are the one witnessing the witness but is the witness also you or are you not you?" is not a quote from Mooji and it is a failed attempt to summarise what he teaches.
Many pages back the moderator asked me if I had anything bad to say about Mooji (or something like that). Sure I do. Noone is perfect. But what I see here is people talking about Mooji who don't have any real idea about him or what he teaches, so the conclusions being reached are unfortunately not very well informed.
He does not perform "exorcisms" -- there is one video with this name, but that video was not released by Mooji's followers. It is an excerpt from when he was greeting people and one woman had an outburst of very strong emotions, which looks extremely distressing but the only ones who called it an "exorcism" was the person who posted this video. I have occasionally heard him talk about "dark energies" and have seen him say something like "let it out" or "let it be gone" etc. when someone has an emotional outburst. But that is not an "exorcism". I have never heard him use that word nor seen it written anywhere with anything to do with him or his followers.
Sahara71 -- how long did you watch his YouTubes? I have the impression it was quite a short time and that you did not like how it made you feel so you stopped. Great! Does that justify you going on a crusade to stop everyone watching his videos?
If I watch mindless TV shows on Netflix, I start to feel quite depressed, unmotivated and dull. I have also read that there is a link between watching TV and depression -- does that mean Netflix is dangerous and trance inducing and should be stopped? Of course not! After 2 - 3 hour university lectures I would feel quite dizzy and spaced out when I walked out. Also, tragically, quite a lot of students have taken their own lives -- does that mean universities are dangerous and that no-one should attend university lectures? Ummmm, no. You may think these comments are ridiculous, but for those who follow Mooji's teachings most of the comments on this forum are equally ridiculous. Call the French embassy in Portugal to get them to issue a travel warning!? Seriously?!
Mooji has hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide who (based on their testimonies) seem to benefit form his teachings, and their positive comments can be found everywhere, yet this forum focuses on a handful of anonymous hearsay reports found scattered here and there. These handful of comments are posted and reposted without any scrutiny whatsoever.
Did you know that he actively encourages people NOT to touch his feet? It is often announced before his talks, and he often pulls people up as soon as they go to bow to him.
Did you know that when signing up for a retreat there is a a whole lot of info that retreats might not be good for people with mental health issues and that they should speak with their doctor before registering? Oh, and that they should NOT stop their current therapy or medication?
Like someone else mentioned, I am getting pulled into defending Mooji which was not my intention. In my case it is simply because the info being shared here is so misinformed.
