the video posted by yourinlove I feel is illustrative of what is wrong with Moo's conduct as a teacher,
he lacks humility, cannot just say that he is sorry for saying something that hurt peoples feelings
example: in response to the note from Omkara about florida around 2:39.
Instead of just saying sorry he is only sorry "sort of"
he feels and says that he should be free to be himself freely and act sponteneously.
Ok fine, but not without being held accountable for his behaviour.
very dangerous attitude, as if only because of his true intensions,
assuming for a moment that they are,
his conduct is raised above all criticism.
That is just not so.
His position as a teacher comes with great responsibility, and some humility is sorely needed.
The way he frowns angrily in his response to the letter questioning the way he accepts people worshipping him (around 1:50) personnaly just shown in my opinion that he cannot hide his true feelings of disgust when people dare to question him. His mouth says words that finally admit that he finds the person to be courageous to raise the issue, but his whole conduct is so dismissive to the point of disgust that anyone with any insight can feel that these words are not completely congruent with his inner feeling. Plus he only got himself to acknowledge as much after he has framed the criticism as a admittance of spiritual inferiority.
Finally somewhere at the very end there is a woman telling him that she feels so protected like a puppy in his lion hands when he is being harsh with her, after which he tells of a story of a young bride who encounters a lion and forgets even her husband and is completely in the moment, which supposedly is a good thing. So by analogy it is a good thing that HE is the lion on all our paths. This is even the title of the video.
I feel this is over the top hypocritical, because earlier in response to the critique that people worship him he ridicules the person writing in because she signed something like 'black sheep'. He makes the audience laugh because it supposedly is so very ridiculous that someone is suggesting that his followers are sheep. i think this person also addresses him as 'beloved shepherd'.
Then finally he closes by presenting himself as the lion that we must embrace on our paths.
before this i never suspected foul intensions, but this is all very reminiscent of mind control techniques,
if not intentional, they might just be natural to his person.
I don't know which is worse.
