Re: Mooji a cult?

Interesting that on one hand Mooji is accused of keeping people trapped in his ashram, and on the other hand he is accused of periodically kicking them out.

So which is it? Are people trapped with no way to leave? Or are they periodically encouraged to leave? I get the sense that more people want to be there than there is room, so I find it a bit hard to believe that anyone is actually being manipulated to stay beyond their own wish to be there

I guess it is possible that someone may have been there for years and now can't imagine being anywhere else, but that is a human thing, not a "cult" thing. When I had an unhealthy lifestyle, I felt trapped and couldn't imagine any other life -- but the 'trap' was just my lack of motivation to change. When I changed I felt like I had come out of a cage, but no-one had forced me into it.

Constantin, just leave if you are not happy. It might not be as dramatic as you imagine. I know people there and I don't get the sense that they are being manipulated to stay or pressured not to have outside contact. How long have you been there? Maybe it's just time for a change.
