Hi Sahara71,
I'm extremely interested in learning more about hypnosis, mind-control, thought-reform and all that jazz. I think educating yourself is the wisest defence. I was at the mercy of moo because I went in without suspecting that hypnosis would be at play. He's really sly; at first the inquiry seems so fucking logical, he starts by taking you through a logical thought process of inquiry; piggybacking off Ramana. Surely, if this process is related to Ramana; a man who gave up worldy desires, surely then, there could be no foul play in these questions of inquiry.
What are the most far fetched things you have come across? I am also interested in learning more about protecting yourself against such manipulative people like old Tony or radicalists who are working on you without your knowledge. Especially, since most of these people start befriending you at first and you never suspect that a friend/acquaintance could be deploying these tactics. Any resources you recommend to protect everyone from these types of people? or Identifying if a person is such a personality type?
Right now, I'm still traumatized by ol Tony! During my musings throughout the day and interactions, I keep second guessing myself with thoughts such as "Who is the one that is feeling is this" and "can the one that is perceiving all this be perceived?". It's almost like Tony's tapes are just playing on repeat in my head. I want it all out of my fucking head. Those damn stories he tells as well about the birds, policemen trying to catch thieves and whatnot are so powerful because they are so memorable and I feel like they have been cemented into my psyche. Can I cleanse myself of these thought currents by myself or will I need some therapy? Sometimes I find myself even chanting those Bhajans or feel like those songs are just playing in my head. Definitely need a detox. Perhaps a weekend of debauchery may help me come back to reality for a bit.
I'm going to take a guess and say, that "buzzed out" feeling is when moo has got you to the trance state to plant his suggestions. Yes, at some point I thought; something doesn't feel right about this, it can't be inherently good to waste your time and gifts just being in your head and not giving back anything to society.
I've grown to have an aversion against enlightenment now and spiritiuality. I've been bitten, stung and i'm not intending to put my hand back in this hot pot for the moment. I think Maslow's ideas about self actualization is probably a better goal to strive towards than enlightenment.
I'm not sure how I came across this website. I'm glad I did though.
I havn't looked into Advaita Vedanta, but right now I think I'm a bit too traumatized to delve into spirituality right now. I think I may ground myself by reading some Aristotle or something.
