Hi Billyboy,
Thank you for writing and also saying nice things about me, which is one way to keep me online and keep me posting!
This discussion is genuine, I assure you. It is also moderated. If you have any suspicious messages in your inbox, then please inform the moderator. This message board is also watched by the Moo Cult themselves who are paranoid about any negative opinions of them surfacing in the public domain.
Why? Why can't they just address people's issues the proper way, through legitimate channels? The will never do this, as they are a cult and controlling information is what they do.
Can I ask what made you look for information about Moo and what led you to find this forum?
After being subjected to mind-control for eight years, I think you are doing well to be able to question Moo's teachings so articulately and intelligently. I am not a psychologist either... just someone with an interest who has explored hypnosis, trance, mind-control, thought-reform, etc. It's all very fascinating and something the average person would not be aware of... in fact, some of the things I have come across would sound very far-fetched to the average person.
I can post a list of resources for you to look at if you like.
At the risk of repeating myself (everyone else can stop reading here!), I found Moo's online material very, very relaxing to watch. Too relaxing. It made me disassociate a bit from life, although I could still function well and do daily activities. I could still think, but I became preoccupied with Moo's (vague and convoluted) message. I wanted to know more.
Watching Moo's material, I realized that I wasn't hearing anything new. It was very, very repetitive, but it relaxed me, so I didn't care. After a while, I realized that I was not becoming 'instantly enlightened' but I did feel fuzzy in the head. Sort of buzzed-out, but not in a great way. Maybe a bit like being mildly stoned all day... drugged up. OK, yes I can see the appeal of being 'drugged-up' all day....
I mean, if you didn't have anything else to do and someone took care of your every need... being drugged-up might be ethically and morally not an especially bad way to live!! As long as you didn't hurt anyone, I suppose. But ultimately, how satisfying could it really be? It's like living a strange half-life of weird, hazy dreams.
I knew it wasn't enlightenment.
I mean, come on.
Enlightenment is the ultimate in being clear-minded, peaceful, harmonious, content. It is not an escape form reality, like this trance experience was.
But I guess for a lot of people..... like 200,000 people who follow Old Tony Moo, an escape from reality is as good as they are gonna get. It's sad. I hope more people will become aware of what Moo and plenty of others like him are doing.
All this Neo-Advaita stuff is seriously screwy. It's not healthy at all. If you compare it to the original teachings of Advaita Vedanta, then it you will see there is a huge difference in quality and quantity of the teachings. I urge you to explore traditional Advaita through some place like the Advaita Vedanta Society of New York or similar. Not that I recommend any particular religion for anyone. I don't. But you will be able to see to what extent the original teachings have been bastardized.... it is very disrespectful and abhorrent.
