There is only conciousness. It is a divine mirror reflecting the light of your very own self perfectly. You are the enlightened one yet you are no one, you are nothing at all. Pure emptiness, playing for eternity in the playground of God. You may pretend to be lost, confused and searching for God or your self. But that is just a game, an act. Deep down you know who you are, always do, always have, always will. God is the greatest actor there is, in all his infinite faces. Praise the Lord, Om shanti, thank you thank you amen.
I have always been deeply depressed (clinically) because I thought my mind was always attacking me, even during Meditation. Now I understand. Thank you for this clarity and may Blessing's always be upon you Mooji. Om Namah Shivaya

For all those who are having trouble finding answers to the question is it permanent....its a bit complex. In that this can't be answered in a context which sits well with all. So instead of saying he didn't answer just listen. Maybe listen again and don't have expectations about the answer just listen, and learn and then think what did you just learn? Then only you may find something after truly listening without judgement. Namaste
'a true master of self' is separation; a master & a self - mind. here is the self presenting it self through the form we recognize as Moojiji. -in grace & gratitude- (p.s: or this form of Mooji is recognized as I AM (I as Mooji) hihi (::)
Mooji this is the most important talk I have heard for me. Thank you so much. "Mind has no light of it's own. It appears it is acting independently of you. Mind has no power. It is supplying energy from you in the form of belief. " "Mind is attacking me is a belief. Let the thoughts come, let everything play but I will....just observe. Let it happen. ... if you don't give it energy it has nowhere to go" "The evenness of being, that's where it brings you....the mischief comes to an end. Beautiful 🙇🙇🙇🙇 Namaste. Sacred words
Such clarity! Such a vast, wide-open, present, free flowing, alive Awareness. Together with Gangaji, for me, the most inspiring of all the teachers of our time. Thank you so much for posting!
When you feel it for the first time, you can't go back. Nothing feels anything like it, and you will never forget it. I walked away from my faith at one point but it was always in the back of my head. Then one day a big realization hit me, a new truth removed the burden of the world off of my shoulders and brought me back to God, but this time I will NEVER let go of my faith. I can't, it's too beautiful. I want everyone in this world to feel that same love, it's like nothing matters anymore and all things are just joyful and beautiful. The truth really does set you free, and it's amazing. Truly, dictionary-fdefinition "AMAZING". Not an overstatement. You can definitely choose to walk away from it, but deep down you will always know. Deeeep down in your heart, the truth is there and the shame you'll feel will be real, just as it was for me.
"You are the unmoving seer of all the comings and the goings." How I love Mooji's clear simplicity....almost as much as I love the unspeakable light and love which so brilliantly shines from this beautiful man.
I have found so many insights in this video. Thank you for sharing it and to the speaker for sharing as well. The story of the Sun and Moon have helped understanding. I too had an experience that lasted for several days mostly in the morning and mind returned. I have come to this and Tolle accepting the now and the mind's noise allowing it. There was a struggle trying to uncover that feeling again and see that struggle blocked it. This attitude to exist through my eyes is where I shall abide
When Being is separated from Being by a 'wall of thought and emotion' it acts as Ego. When the wall dissolves only Being remains - there is nothing else. Everything is simply perception by Being, and distorted perception creates its own reality. So, how to dissolve the wall is what we need to know. Daily connection through transcending is a good way, deep understanding by watching anger or other emotions is another way (being conscious). Work all the time for the heart and mind. Eventually the thinking mind takes second place, the heart opens and Being is restored. Simply remember "BE THIS - LOVE THIS" whatever happens to you, good or bad, then lose yourself in the silence.
I only did like 3 days of meditation straight for like 10 mins each and i began to have my satori experience. This experience of wonderfulness was only like 1 day and a half. I seriously didnt have to "believe" my mind anymore. It was alot more quieter and i had a serious wave of energy felt in my body. After that i became identified with my mind again. Everything this man is saying is troof to the T.
Enlightenment is simply the realization that we are through our atoms,eternal and part of the universe. When we are able to extend our being to everything around us,we are enlightened for ever!
This is a very important video for plp having problems with the mind.. the thread should have a clearer meaning for better finding this video for those plp.. thank u anyway mooji. this will help a good friend i have having problems with his mind.. he thinks it at least ..lol
@MazikMuzik I see what you're saying. I am at that same point. I totally see what Mooji points to. At this very moment I am enlightened. There is some difficulty to maintain it, like the guy in this video, but every day I am living more and more in my Self, rather than the mind. It really has cured me of my depression and anxiety problems. I never really looked inwardly before, but it really is so clear. At the end of the day though the only spot Mooji loses me is his 100% belief we dont die.
it is not permanent. your ego can come back to take over if you have not learned to overcome self sabotaging behaviors. all humans can be lead into temptation and do things that the soul does not agree with. it takes a hard lesson learned in life to learn about yourself so that you don't self sabotage . thus allowing your enlightened state to prosper
Agreed, its like something inside lures you into doing things that lowers your frequency. It take a lot of clearity and experience if you have such a self sabotage ego structure. Im not sure about the soul not agreeing though. In the big picture it has to be right. And in our times its obviously the way for most to learn through painful experiences, to learn through contrast. To really clear things up whats important, whats not.
what I meant by the soul not agreeing is, when you do go through painful experiences ur soul (ur source energy) feeling the weight of ur actions that are not complimentary/aligning with who u really are or what u really need to be whole. And yes I do agree that in our age of such advanced technology communication and knowledge can be obtained instantly and although it is convenient and resourceful it also obscures the natural course of social interaction and learning. and when people are detached and more tuned in to their media there is less human interaction hence less learning about ourselves. And yes it does take a lot of experience to gain clarity if you have a very strong self sabotaging ego structure. I am speaking from experience as I made the same mistake a hundred times over only to learn my lesson after I finally experiencing the worst possible consequence, which finally opened my eyes to my most self sabotaging behavior. that is why religion cannot bring u enlightenment, although it can guide u along the way to better judgment and appreciation for life. And one cannot make themselves enlightenment without awareness of their inner most dwellings. they must experience in life what they are meant to, so they learn about themselves in relation to the world around them.
OnceinABlue Moon// > ? > ? You have no clue as what the soul is, and is not! To say is so ridiculous! Who own the soul? Your Mind? And the soul is in nature, absolute, not source of energy, at all, only pure awareness ! The soul has no material existence, and cannot, in any way be the source of ''energy'' ! YOU ARE THE SOUL, YOU DON' T OWN IT!
"The world cannot hold onto you, for the world is not sentient. The world doesn't have a mind nor does it have desires; it is only your mind's objectivisation. It is your own mind's play which imagines that an object-call it the mind or whatever-can hold onto you. It is the idea you have of who you are that is holding onto its own fearful projections as the mind. Leave all of this and remain as the pure, joyous Self." Mooji
Best thing for me to hear from you at this moment, Mooji 🙏🏼🌟🙏🏼 power and energy of Grace 💚and her wisdom. I just listen to a video of your enlightenment story. And then I choose this one. One question: Do you still do some kind of physical practice for your body. Breathing? with Yoga or QiGong....?... push up, low squats,....maintenance, adhering to the body, Dharma practices...?...

Ooooh I have had periods of feeling engulphed in a flame of visionary experience and feeling so ah like spiritually lifted and lively, I guess it makes sense why that occurred
I know from expeirence that it is not an "absolute" state. In my early twenties I had achieved what I could now consider "elightenment". My sensation of presence overwhelmed all other sensatations and was connected to such a vast source of love. I remained so awake that when I slept I didn't even have "dreams" but instead remained in the same continuess presence filled with light and joy. When I would sing in this light of presence my voice sounded beautiful! Anyways after 2 yrs, I intentionally fell from grace, which took some time (getting there was more simple!) got a divorce, hung around bad crowds,heavy drinking,crack,meth you name it. During this whole time I still remained as the "witness" (that part is perm)Now I'm 40 and in the process of returning home and it's just a fun game. I know in a way i never left but covered this joy.
As a mathematician/physicist/shaman/dual/non-dual/consciousness (without an object) Being, accepting/experiencing subjective realities of dual (insects, bacteria, virus's, plants, animals, humans, aliens, etc., etc, as well as the Non-dual One. The One/Many mystic understanding/paradox. We are all having fun, or not in our Virtual Reality experiences.
It would help if you define permanent.For as long as you are in this body, you will have hands. Are they permanent? We usually only notice such features when they are out of sync (injured). If they are, and the connecting nerves are severed, would you be conscious of them ? Only when you choose to give them attention! This position also applies to the attention you give your mind, but no severing of nerves is necessary. I think therefor I am transcends into "I am, therefor I think"
@Aluminata when a mosquito bites me it itches really bad. i get used to it after 2 days and it becomes a part of me. then it heals in 2 more days and i feel broken.
how is it that negative thoughts can gain power effortlessly. And unlimited thoughts selected by me to focus and believe, must take practice? is conditioning beyond our will?
Step 1: Give up on enlightenment. Just observe. It all comes down to simple observation. We must learn to observe even negative emotions and physical states (pain). Once we do this, a dissociation with the ego takes place and altered states of consciousness can be attained. Like the guy who asked in the video, I have had glimpses of Nirvana or whatever you call it. Unfortunately, in the west we are trained to have a large ego, and those who wish to abandon their egos are ostracized (if you don't have a large ego, you're a bad leader or not a legitimate person). This is why I always give in to the ego again, and I find myself bad in Samsara
Damien Cross I don't see the problem. You can behave however you wish, whether that would be labelled by others as selfish or selfless. Enlightenment is about transcending the ego, not abandoning it. All you need is to see the ego is not you. An unenlightened person is like a crazy man who believes he is Santa Claus. An enlightened person can dress up as Santa Claus if they wish, they just know they're not really Santa Claus.
l The ego is a powerful hallucination. Even though I have had glimpses of the ego-less experience and the inner peace I gain from that lasts for a few days, eventually I become all attached again. I even get to the point where I doubt the experience of true reality in the first place. I think this is a common experience, especially for people who don't have much guidance (like me).
Damien Cross Can I say that I did the whole "Rishi devotion game" for many years and eventually realised I was always on my own anyway. Our inner voice is the best whisper and we are on the loneliest road there is. I say just get on with it, there is only BEING and that is me or you. In my opinion there is nowhere to go and nobody to follow, only the stripping away of redundant mental garbage. However part of this way is achieved by listening and reading and deep meditation - but not by slavishly following anyone, especially one who seems to expect it, and does nothing to reject it. But you probably know this already - or maybe I am wrong. I respect Papaji and his attitude. Not sure about Mooji, I have learn't from some things he says - but what does it matter anyway as long as we are one pointed in our goal. It seems that all the knowledge we need comes and hits us on the head, every day if necessary, until we get it.
John Burman Yea. It is an incredibly lonely road. Ultimately, until the ego is seen for what it is, we are ultimately totally alone in the universe. Some people never reach that terrible conclusion but unfortunately I have been stuck with it since fuckin childhood. Hopefully it results in growth. Either that or I fuckin hang myself lol.
Damien Cross Can I say this, there is only Being looking out through your eyes, or watching your thoughts or listening to your mind saying "I should kill myself"- there is nothing else, and Being cannot be known, it just IS. There is no need to do anything about it. Do you get it? I won't bore you with any more.
Journeys aren't needed for us to understand where we already stand, but the mind goes on a journey and the life lives on a journey and can do nothing else, and that is fine, artistic and beautiful; but should not really be done to achieve what is your own being, but for artistic expression, and for the beingness of the journey and the mind itself as the reflective light of this universe. That which comes and goes is simply infinite beauty and drama, that one can play with, dance with, express out of, but you cannot find or see what you are in this, you simply are.
At some point the human can go in permanent state of enlightenment, but he must keep practicing that self-realizations, observation, meditation or whatever you want to call it... Enlightenment is when the Satori can be prolonged to as long as you want it... Satori is also enligtenment, but it is for a while... First you have many satori states, than you learn how to hold on to this state - that is enligtenement. With other words, it is not something to achieve, but more like something to hold... to hold your inner self in full awareness.
Still your all in 1% . Real enlightenment turn your life physical body changes body give fragrance divine this turn who your in real. Get yourself guruji. God bless you all . Good
The enlightened state is a timeless state, it is not a thing that can be sought, grasped or lost. To seek it there must be some idea in thought about what you are seeking which is an illusion. To grasp or loose, how can one grasp or loose something without time, something which is no-thing.
