If the purpose is to make people free of their suffering or bring the to a fundamental knowledge about reality,
which as an apologist I would say the purpose of Mooji's group is,
than I would put the enterprise in the same category as I would psychiatry or academia,
which both employ though reform techniques to bring people to a view of reality
that is “sane” or one that is “scientific”


The difference is that psychiatry and academia are peer reviewed, supervised, measurable, and accountable. They don't function in a bubble. In this context, there are no checks and balances for incompetence. Mooji can (and did) claim that his new rebranded guided meditation has enlightened hundreds of people. It is an unfalsifiable statement.


>Actual reports of coercion and exploitation remain exceedingly scarce,

One is enough.

- entering into a relationship with a student is enough.
- dividing couples is enough.
- causing people to inform on each other is enough.
