A Mooji Comment
I thought that I would share my experience of Mooji. I love that guy.
Have you ever gone up front, in a Mooji satsang? I have, maybe more than a dozen times, done a 10 day silent retreat in India, several weekend intensives in Chicago and all the NNH filmed encounters. I even sang him a love song in one satsang and did that Christmas party "stand-up routine" last winter.
Although I would never see myself staying with him for months as an audio/video guy, and I wouldn't ask for a spiritual name. (I had an Osho name during the 80's).
To me it is not so much what he says. His shower of love and respect for you is immense. But what totally "frys" you is his mountain of intention, that you can totally get this, right now. He doesn't waver from that, and you can feel it burn.
My inner intention was so often, "I can get this tomorrow", and he wouldn't let that stand. Inside I'd be screeming, "STOP IT MOOJI". But he wouldn't flinch. It is just like he has a burner under you, and he keeps turning up the gas.

I've been watching Mooji Videos now for the last year or so, off and on, at first I tried to find some flaw, some 'false guru' nature, but I have found nothing but a perfect mirror of pure beingness. I said to my friend, 'who can not love Mooji? It is like not loving Winnie the Pooh!' Really, the people who say negative things about Mooji, I feel are just working out that critical nature that always wants to reach out in judgment. When we are free of this judging, there is an embracing that happens, with all beings, exactly as they are, and even differences are appreciated as part of the blessing of multiplicity rising in unity.
Once in a while I check on youtube if there are some new Mooji clips. This morning I came across this one below. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I was in a mood of a lot of doubt (which btw felt natural and necessary), I even thought 'you know this Mooji is so sweet and has the best intentions, but can he really make a difference, or is he just one of the many teachers with nice intelligent stories. And a minute later I saw this new clip. Sounds like that 'burner' you mentioned.
Love that deep seriousness on these kind of crucial moments.
Yesterday Arjen posted this video in 'Favorite Music" below.
This was the period when I was In Tiruvannamalai last winter, and when I was with Mooji. These photos are all the people that I saw and knew. A video so evocative of that experience.
The question could easily come up, "Are you crazy"? Why are you not there now, in that 'River of Love'? Or should I be in this cold Chicago winter basement computer room, puzzling about how to make this web site search better on Google?
Actually, the thought never comes up???
Something within me absolutely knows that any "River of Love" experience is no MORE me than this moment here. The knowing is strong enough that an emotional, nostalgic pull is not believed. I truly enjoyed that experience when I had it, rational mind will say that it was "better", but the emotional longing is completely defused.
This one hits hard though.
