Re: Mooji a cult?

Trying to understand:
Looking at the whole Mooji scenario from the perspective of powerful life patterns impressed since birth : At age 1 mother leaves/abandons Tony and moves to England, Age 8 Tony’s father leaves town never to return, dying of pneumonia (coincidentally as did Mooji’s son), Mooji is raised by a disciplinarian uncle who seems to have put control above providing a loving environment where many relatives co-existed (as in an ashram? ), Mooji splits to Brixton to reunite with his mother. In Brixton, his nephew is involved in drugs and criminality, leading to the shooting by police of the nephew’s mother leaving her paralyzed till her death. Later Tony is baptized and saved by Michael the mystic who evidently, after praying for Tony, leaves him in a state of unbroken peace, with a period of time when he was financially broke and saved by his sister’s generosity, ….on to India, the rest is history. Here we see something like archtypes: the lost and abandoned one, the abused one, the blessed one, the awakened one…..
Now, we see a very extensive personal history on his website, reflected in placing his parents photos on his side table during satsangs – is this a way his subconscious is trying to let us see or justify what has grown into this mega -guru phenomenon?

With childhood traumas happening to a young boy who obviously has innate talent, charisma, gift of clever, intelligent, persuasive speech, strong male sexual energy and appeal – what we see now is a grown man who has subconsciously put all that misfortune to use by creating around himself a ‘bulletproof’ environment where he has an infinite family of people who love him and swear to never leave or desert him, a secluded and highly protected haven (heaven) where no one can get to him, plenty of financial donations and marketing profits to support his existence, a community of people to fulfil his every desire – seems like the perfect antidote for all the unfortunate childhood disruption and pain. Add his now famous glimpse of nirvana with Papaji = a man who has created a spiritually based survival structure to protect his deeply wounded inner child. Add to all this the huge emotional wave of global adoration and projection from followers, he becomes the perfect manifestation of fulfillment for everyone elses subconscious longing for fulfilment of whatever! Like Trump, only a person who feels insecure, deficient, inadequate, lacking etc., could externalize such a vast expression of adoration, wealth, and .control – but is it a house of cards?

I take some comfort in looking at it from the perspective of the uninvestigated buried subconscious - seems to take the edge off.
What a leela!
