I have to say again, that I’m so glad I found this thread. I don’t comment much but I love reading people’s take on this whole thing.
Although I didn’t get pulled into moojiland full throttle, reading some of the experiences on here has made me realize that my ex partner, whom I now believe to be in the inner circle, or at least he was, was doing a lot of this to me, I was constantly confused and made to feel ungrateful and sometimes stupid for not getting it and for him choosing to be with me, for him trying to wake me up. When all I was doing was logically questioning a lot of the ramblings he would talk about. I often raised points about the fact that mooji let people treat Him Like a living god, I pointed out that a lot of the people Seemed lost and that it seemed they needed psychological help, not a guru. Upon his return from his first Satsang intensive in Rishikesh, where he told me he was “working” for mooji, he used to say that relationships were discouraged for his sangha, that they distract them from the truth. Especially with people who weren’t experiencing the “white fire”. So he became more and more distant. Especially when I challenged him
Or didn’t agree with what he said. Eventually we eventually broke up. He never accepted any responsibility for the problems we had in our relationship and made me feel like it was my fault for being ungrateful and not being ready to “let my ego die”. I was allowing my mind to ruin my one true chance at happiness.
Reading this thread has been like therapy for me and it has literally made sense of every bad gut feeling I had about the whole thing. Just reading about the trance induction, brainwashing, gaslighting has been a god send. It made me realize that the relationship I had with that person was all a lie and after spending years feeling like I was loosing my mind, I finally see what happened for what it was. I feel like I have been given a chance to mourn it. To mourn the loss of him. And I feel better for it. For a short time, watching and listening to Mooji brought some peace to my life but it wasn’t real. Something in my gut screamed out run away.
I haven’t watched any videos since this came out, other than to see if my ex is still there and I don’t see him anymore so I don’t know where he is now. I worry about him. And his mental health. Like others, it has given me an aversion to anything “spiritual”. I live a simple life, and I’m at peace and happy. So I don’t feel the need too anymore. It turns out it was always here, so I didn’t need to go looking for answers elsewhere. I feel attachment to anything, regardless of what it is, is attachment nonetheless, and it’s unhealthy. It doesn’t make you better than anyone else.
Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences here. And I hope everyone finds that peace.
