 Mooji asked about Psychedelics...

Apart from one satsang at Moojis home where a guy said he once came to satsang on ecstacy this is the first time i've seen the subject of psychedelics brought up with Mooji, he addresses it really well i think
The guy who asks about psychedelics comes on at 52 minutes in...

I like it when he says, I realized that I couldn't be dead, because I was never born.
And later on Mooji says, behind all the masks is one who has no face.

Yeah, it was a really nice encounter
I think it was great how mooji didn't judge the whole 'drug' thing at all but actually picked up on the genuinity in the mans experience when he was describing it, mooji saw that it was beautiful & one of the many ways that consciousness can create a path back to itself

I don't think mooji has a great understanding about life.
He just tries to confuse the physics guy....with questions upon questions, instead of addressing the obvious fact that he doesn't have a clue.
It is also obvious that Mooji enjoys his fame and success and tries to make the physics questions seems irresolvable.
Can you blame him...what a cushi job. Meditate, get up eat, mess around and then talk to a bunch of people about what 'he' thinks.
Its rather ridiculous.

Did it matter what he thought?
What if he said psychedelics were completely detrimental to the path of awareness?

Interesting. I remember when he spoke about the herb, and he said no substance can help. I guess he's changed his mind.

Yeah, I remember him speaking about that at a Satsang. He compared smoking weed to huffing glue.
I mean, I understand he was just using that as an example of ignorance and addiction, but I still kinda felt... offended?
Regardless, I like Mooji a lot.  It's such a minor detail in the scale of his whole message. I have yet to watch the Satsang that was posted, but I plan on it soon.
Thanks Chronic!

i get the sense that he has smoked weed in his time and doesn't look negatively upon it....but let's face it, the herb is not usually a tool towards self inquiry, although it has played a major role in many of our journeys.

No it doesn't matter what he thinks about it other than for example you might care what your friend thinks about it, i never asked mooji about shrooms myself but had spoken to him in private about my own cannbis use, because i value his opinion due to his presence assisting my own awakening greatly

He didn't say it can necessarily 'help' just said that it can be an eye opener & he saw the beauty in the mans experience, rather than just judging it as some drug experience.

Has anyone here watched any of his youtube videos while tripping?
I remember once watching one & it was like flowers were literally bursting out of him (in another dimension/realm)

hey, i used to go to the small satsangs at his flat when he was living in brixton, it was every sunday for a few months, i always prefered those over the larger satsangs, now he lives in portugal not in brixton anymore.
for a while i ran a youtube channel full of clips of his satsangs so every now & then he'd call me up & i'd go round for a cup of tea with him to collect new video material to work on, those were my favorite times with him, then the big crowds started gathering...
i share a name with an american sage who sat with ramana & a few of mooji's satsang team took this to mean i was his reincarnation or something, which at the time freaked me out a bit so i stayed less involved with becoming part of the sangha/satsang team

Watched this all the way through today. At the end when they were singing Hari Krishna I got a great feeling of energy all throughout my body.  Good stuff.

Awesome man. That's sound like such a great experience you've had. I had no clue you were so close to Mooji. Is your youtube channel not up anymore? I've seen some vids of satsangs at gis flat, I wonder if some of those vids were yours..?
Plan on going to Portugal at all? I've yet to sit by his physical presence, I'd love to go mt sahaja to see him.

Sorry this didn't pop up in 'my threads' for some reason so i didn't know you replied
The youtube channel is still up, although i stopped uploading videos around a year or so ago so it's not on his main website anymore, i'll PM you the link, my favorite home satsang ones are on the 'featured playlists' on the main page of the youtube channel, the top one i think, i really love that group of videos.
I think the Galway/Ireland playlist is very potent aswell, very specific on Self-inquiry
I will definitely go to portugal at some point, might even do a week there this year
