ACIM was very helpful for me. I would not have been able to hear what Mooji was saying unless ACIM unraveled my ego FIRST. Then I was open to hear Mooji. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Namaste.
This quote from the Course reflects Mooji's teachings “Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.”
After watching this video for the first time in August last year I immediatly stopped the practice of "A Course in Miracles" - what was a great relieve - and I never regret. This life is not for seeking, but for discovering. Thank you so much, Mooji.
Satsang is being in the presence of Self. Where the Master & Student are one in the same. You yourself are already this energy. No energy needs to be transferred. Just self realized. some beings, it only takes a moment of grace to come to full self-realization of the most subtle & most simple. In-fact this is even more simple than simple, all beings can do this at any moment. Even the unconscious beings that roam around are one with that play of consciousness.
I like Ken very much... he is a very spiritual young man who is asking intelligent questions and is both clever and humble enough to not insist on his dogmas. I think he is absolute correct in his statement (probably built on a long time observation of Mooji’s language and way of expressing difficult things in a way that is easy to understand for anyone who is prepared to listen to pure wisdom) that Mooji is a master in using words, so eloquently, and also with his extraordinary feeling for the language to become poetry, though there is no intention to create poetry. This ability of his, was my first observation when I began to listen to Mooji… that you can just take any part in a dialogue with someone, or when he is just explaining something, and it sounds exactly as poetry (finest poetry; because it doesn’t lack meaning - in opposition to some nonsense-poetry -, or is intelligible and make an absolute sense). That his intention is only to make people discovering the truth is irrelevant, since the bi-product is this beautiful poetry, which seems to flow so beautifully in an endless stream from his mouth. It seems as someone who is streaming wisdom directly from God. This ability has kept me fascinated and contributed to my willingness to continue to listen to his words via videos on RU-vid. I love his sense of humour. It, together with his ability to illustrate or emphasise his words with funny moves with his hands, arms, mimik etc., made me laugh a lot, as well as I sometimes got tears in my eyes - and also cried too, to be honest - when I heard something profoundly wise, which I never thought of before, but which was so obvious true in the moment I heard it. If I should compare, it comes close to when I read Rumi and Kahlil Gibran… There are certainly some other Self-realized individuals in the world, but no one with the same extraordinary ability to express him/her-selves as he has (as I know of, so far), with authority, as it says about Jesus sometimes (that he was speaking with authority); it’s a unique gift, from God. His words are reverberating in my being, long after I heard them, though they still often seem to not have been fully understood due to my disability to transcend my egoic tendencies, keeping me hostage, not letting me be free to fully realize the absolute truth in the words, though I am aware of this too, in a paradoxical way; like the meaning is hiding behind a veil, but still is shining through from behind. A sudden glimpse of clearness, then falling away. I feel so fortunate for the opportunity of the grace to have lived to take part of his “pointings”... I don’t really know if I am capable of truly love someone unconditionally, but my feelings for Mooji, as for Jesus, is as close as it gets.
Some years ago, I watched this entire interview and it seems now that I heard Nothing. Thank you Grace for allowing me to revisit it with expanded awareness. 🙏🏾
The young man came with a fixed position as a student of The Course to engage Mooji, but it turned out to be a one-sided conversation. It became a session for him to rethink the allegiance he had for a doctrine.
Certainly, Kenneth. Your grace and acceptance of the man was refreshing. I enjoyed the embrace at the end. You, of course, are open and that was my point. I bought The Course and i am currently reading the beginning (Where all the definitions of miracles are listed.) Good stuff!!!
This is SO beautiful!! The man beside Mooji is really "trying" wholeheartedly. Look at 1.04.10 or so, he is trying to be free of mind, and we see the mind is playing tricks on him, seen physiologically
Selfishness to one degree or another is what divides us all. Fear and hatred are aspects of selfishness while freedom and unconditional love reside outside of this domain. I struggle with selfishness and I now recognize that to be the cause of many of my faults. Thanks for the video!! :-)
Sometimes the person we fail to forgive is ourselves... as important as it is to forgive others we must not forget to forgive ourselves for our own past, our own mistakes, and our choices. A thing as simple as this can lead to long-term problems because we do not comprehend the damage that clinging to our mistakes can do to us. I am going down a path that cannot be reversed--I will grow stronger, smarter, and better with each day. I talk more about forgiveness and other important topics on my channel.. if you find me to be genuine bring me your life experiences and knowledge so that we may both grow. That is all, no more no less.
Please consider this; There are no mistakes(period) Experiences are offered to us daily. These experiences are offered to create ONE GIFT. What Gift? That gift being the opportunity to through self enquiry, to discover the truth of all that is. What truth, for me I describe it as LOVE, or god, or Allah etc. It is by using mistake as the result of understanding the preconditioned interpretation "done something wrong or done something right, were we initiate an untruth. I don't make MISTAKES, I have experiences which are offered to me as gifts, to first of all feel the feeling, hear the mind's response and having the authenticity of being to conduct a truthful self enquiry about the story I told myself about myself which brought the feelings I'm experiencing. This isn't even work any more, for when done out of love for self it becomes peace of mind. I know this will make sense to you as it did for me after I suffered or thought I suffered for 50 years.
Somewhere around the 1000th page of The Course Jesus says [paraphrasing] "Put 'away' this course and falled empty handed into the arms of your loving Farher." After 10 years of teaching The Course I suddenly understood what it meant. Self Discovery [Satsang] declares that You Are God ... right this Moment Now without practices, courses, studies, disciplines, or modalities of any kind and what we give our ATTENTION to EXPANDS. In this way Self Discovery allows you to make this SELF discovery from the audience as a witness of the play or movie-illusion of life 'without' the suffering all time bound belief systems still engender.
Kenneth... Mooji is also a precious friend and teacher of mine.... Thank you for this amazing opportunity.... Mooji is the best Teacher of the Course alive today.... I am grateful for this encounter and your questions... Tony Bernardi
I love this interview. The interviewer asks very practical questions That reflects the human experience living daily life that I know I find myself struggling with such as navigating and such...
Most Amazing. Even after years of meditation practice and knowledge sessions, it is still easy to get sucked in with all the personhood phenomena out there as a 'quick fix' to everyone’s issues (particularly these days on the internet). Once you are in it, it grows arms and legs rapidly. As always Mooji’s way of moving through with these questions (which I felt were exactly what I was thinking about myself from time to time), leaves no doubt of what is the real signpost. The resolute sound and feeling of these answers and interaction are enough to re-direct to a place of being still in the midst of it all. Thank you Mooji and Kenneth, also for uploading this video -even if I found it much later it seems.
+Kenneth Bok Sometimes in listening to a youtube session we are struck by how wonderfully the places you have been and surrendered to can be shown in an hour or two. But, it took a human so much time. Then time does become a factor for a second or so, however, freshness is arrived at having experienced what it was like to be in that repetitive mode. It’s the experience of it rather than words alone. Not wanting to use the word journey but maybe it is a journey from on place to another without really having gone anywhere as such. Nice thought: “love is always fresh” Thanks :)
ACIM came to me after experiencing the light of consciousness. When i picked it up on a sale rack in a book store it felt like I was reading a letter I wrote to myself many years ago. Thank you 💝
Thank you Ken. It is always a privilege to listen to Mooji but something about your inspired him to talk very deeply and freely on such important topics. I think it is your obvious sincerity and integrity. A wonderful exchange and we all benefit from this :-)
Complete your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility for problems, practice virtue without first demanding it of others, understand the highest truths yet retain an ordinary manner? That would be true clarity, true simplicity, true mastery.
To say I am the One is to declare yourself as selfish identity. This is pure Ego. A true Master doesn't even need to announce his true nature, a true master practices humility.
Words themselves are created concepts and forms of consciousness. Nothing is fixed so nothing can have a fixed definition. Words are used to define other words. The only definition is I Am. It's beautiful. ❤
I can keep up with Mooji's way of self language and expression, it is a beautiful honesty that is quite practical or not practical, the practicality doesn't really matter its the feelings and understandings beyond the limiting words we utilize ;)
thanks for the reminder: patience is a sense that comes out of love - from the understanding that there are two basic human emotions, love and fear. ♥ ♥ ♥
Wow that was the best description of Christ in the wilderness. I've never heard it explained in this way. Yet this makes it so much more real, My foolishness of past beliefs have and me until I realized, I shouldn't be angry but compassionate knowing how simple minded I have been and so easily misguided. I innocently believed what I was taught by what I consider to be authority figured teachers preachers ect ect. I now see I had no choice until, adulthood to be my own authority. I have now begun to till the garden pulling up root and stem. Preparing the soil for a greater crop. It is a hard reality to realize it is up to you alone to create the garden that will grow and produce abundant fruit. You will know the Truth... Not believe. Knock it will open. Seek you will find. Thank you for this shared wisdom.
Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.I and after a long time i found this me that i am...ohhh boy,the I am ,this me,was asleep...to Wake up was a trip,,,but all is coming together now,im not in a hurry to get anywhere.I am here.I am.Thank you.Thank
thank you Mooji and Ken.....you both presented the beauty we are seeking...with your inquiry, Ken to Mooji...it was a perfect talk about how we must seek the truth we search for....so sweet and loving, my heart was singing...thank you, thank you.....
Do you think you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. Who can attain clarity and simplicity by avoiding the world? The One's clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world. Why not simply honor your parents, love your children, help your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your friends, care for your mate with devotion.
Beautiful words of wisdom and truth. I really enjoyed listening ❤. Thank you for sharing 😊. So much peace, so my love and just an unexplainable experience listening to Mooji.... always
Yes! I said the same thing the other day to someone who was really trying trying to promote his business (hypnotherapy). He looked at me as if I had really offended him. He was so angry that I wasn't interested in hypnotherapy or visiting his website. He was so identified with being a "doer" - with the "I", with being "someone", being "important". He could not accept my statement...grasp that Spirit moves/expresses through/as the being when the ego is released, yet he claimed to have reached a state of enlightenment and have the ability to lead others to enlightenment. The ego is utterly delusional.
Thank you Ken for a beautiful discussion with Mooji, whom I was not aware of before. I happened upon this video by accident. Nothing in that interview conflicted with anything I have come to understand in studying and practicing the teachings offered within The Course in Miracles over the past ten years, and I am grateful to you for helping to spread God's word that the unified experience we all seek be experienced as quickly as possible. God knows the way back to Him let Him lead you there.
The illusions of Yin & Yang. Duality is the cause of all illusion. The unity of Yin & Yang is Oneness. But forget this. Why? Because you are observing solely with the mind as a concept. You are the witness even before perceiving this concept. The greatest teacher isn't one who is teaching but One who offers awareness to what is already known.
Isn't it great that we can be as judgemental as we want on the internet though? In the sense that we can let it out and let it be seen to be forgiven instead of circulating in our heads all the time. :)
Kenneth Bok yes except for those who are intolerant of our views because they are not liked. Then they delete them. Or kill them. This seems to be called censorship. It is a form of separating yourself from a brother and condemning them as unworthy because their view does not conform to ours. It is hard for the ego not to go to our head when we get so many likes and we feel only ‘scholars’ are worthy of our presence . Where is Humility, kindness and gentleness when one trods on lower souls who merely ask a question. ‘Give me a crumb’ says the stranger. Turn away, it is merely an unworthy stranger. Perhaps. Perhaps no one is unworthy to one who knows the Truth. Arrogance says to Humility : ‘ be gone with you, you have nothing to offer me!’
True Forgiveness RESULTS in ...... A Holy Instant of GRACE~! In GRACE all your judgments drop away , forgiveness no longer needed as you no longer judge at all. YOUR PERCEPTION is RAISED to that of the True Self/No Self/Divine Being ..... your old conditioned consciousness/ego is WASHED away ~ You have not fully Forgiven UNTIL this REALIZATION is EXPERIENCED. Kid yourself not ....... to say "I forgive you" is most often a claim of ego consciousness to make itself BETTER .....which is impossible . What is the FEEL of the EXPERIENCE? Absolute Pure LOVE ~! UNLIMITED ~ INFINITE ~ JOYFUL Ecstatic GRACE ~ REMEMBERANCE
Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here Lesson 333 Conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, nor hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears. “Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.”
the comment was about love not ego - I pointed out an inconsistency in Mooji's non-duality approach like when people say death is the opposite of life, while in reality life has no opposite - death like birth is just a part of its continuity; if you realize that there are no things, there are no opposites; that applies as much to the ego as it does to a cow because in essence they are not different - only in the manifested form
