- My #UnderTheSkin podcast with the great spiritual teacher #Mooji. You can listen to my weekly podcast over on Luminary - get it here: luminary.link/russell
Mooji is a renowned spiritual teacher, who, for over 20 years, has been guiding countless seekers worldwide in search of true happiness, peace and freedom.
Mooji’s way of teaching is direct and compassionate, encouraging that Self-discovery need not be difficult. He teaches that the true nature of human beings is not a personal self or ego but pure, formless awareness.
Mooji claims that when this is fully grasped, delusion and suffering come to an end and is replaced by a lasting peace and pure love. His talks, called Satsang, bring seekers into the experiential recognition of their true Self-and all with his characteristic humour, wisdom and love.
His teachings are widely available online, and more info can be found at mooji.org.

does anyone else just get so beautifully lost in moojiji voice, the soft spoken and gentle and careful words is just great.
Not anymore. Not since I found out about his sleeping with young female students, dumping them, and then moving on to the newer younger model.
@@enterprisingdrop3226 woah that’s awful. Just awful
Absolutely!!
❤️
Who cares if he have sex with some young women? His teachings are great and profound. U can be enlightened and have sex. We are here to experience life to the fullest and to satisfy our deepest desires
Russell's sighs when guests share deep insights are reassuring somehow. We're all on this journey together, no one is exempt!
Yes, and in these moments not reacting is a battle won against yourself and for yourself.
I really like this Russel man
The sigh is a physical indication of emotional processing and integration.
Best ever video with Mooji, I just can't stop laughing. Seeing Krishna's/Christ's/Buddha's play in the vast totality of the Ocean/Consciousness.

I feel the same way. I feel good & at ease when he sighs deeply. There is no pretense or show being put on. He is present & it (he) is so beautiful. We are all very blessed to experience & receive what he is offering to us. 💝🙏🌺

Russell, I have to thank you for bringing Mooji into my life for this past year. His videos on RUclips are invaluable - clear, lucid, experiential leadership. Bless you.

‘Witness your thoughts without logging into them’ this will become my daily challenge ❤️
Or a challenge for life rather
Great one, thank you, observing my thoughts too and trying not to buy into them :)
also you can say this is what I think because this is what I have accepted as truth , but it is only what I believed about things or myself up until now in this moment . Now in this moment I can see that I do not have to identify with these adopted belief systems . I now have the ability to see that . I can focus on my ability to see differently .

I like Russell's attentiveness. He's so engaged despite looking otherwise, and asks questions that sometimes both surprise and fascinate the interviewee.
I found his depth of awareness and articulation of pertinent questions just outstanding. I just became a Brand fan.
What?? I completely disagree with that.... Maybe even objectively... He looks absolutely engaged exactly what he is and is trying to be 😂😂 what the hell are you watching man 😂😂

Mooji and Brand?
Hold my beard!
I did the exercise, and I was able to answer all the questions. I felt as if I was within the mist of whatever it was. When Mooji asked, are you apart from it, my answer was no; I was within. I finally felt that I was one with myself. This was a wonderful feeling. I felt myself hugging myself. This was an extraordinary moment for me. When I began the exercise, I did not imagine feeling such an experience. Thank you so much for allowing me to have this experience. I so appreciate this. When I felt the embrace of myself hugging myself, I cried. It seems so weird to say this, but this is how I felt. I really enjoyed this interview.
Outstanding.
Omg that’s the same thing that happened to me! I hugged myself and immediately started bursting in tears, still don’t know why
This was, you were, are, will be correct and connecting wherever we are. What a blessing to have seen so much, and that it was given so freely. Please share this. I know I will. It’s wonderful to meet you🙏🏽🪢🌈🌹
I can’t get enough of his videos.
You are truly on a deep movement for yourself that is actually quite lightening.
Enjoy. So happy for you. Thanks for sharing.
You have given power to this video for others.
When others connect, it helps me significantly find my way, too.

Beautiful! Maybe keep a journal next to you. Where are you right might be amazing to yourself!
Osho called this higher sense "the watcher". It is so easy to experience this. When you are experiencing high emotion, eg anger, you can step outside of yourself and hear yourself ranting and their is this peaceful part of you watching you, detached from the emotion. Almost like watching a movie.
At first I was annoyed that an advert popped up right in the middle of the meditation sequence. Then I realised it was just a "Stone being thrown in to the Bush". In other words never ever get complacent, distractions will always be there.

“Keep marinating your attention”. “Grenade moment”. He chooses his words with such discernment. Listens clearly to the exact questions and then answers them. Gives Russell genuine, well-merited recognition. Down-to-earth and eloquent.
(Another teacher who addresses the same subject matter is Rupert Spira. Says the same things in a different style.)
Mooji is hands down my spiritual guru. He's the one that taught me to meditate, mainly because my subconscious can pick up exactly what I'm saying, and yet it shuts my thoughts off.

Also a certified cult leader.
I love Mooji he's helped me so much with detachment. Thank you Mooji, lori
Jeff Peate or just accept that he’s abusive and stop making excuses just because he disguised himself as a guru.
Jeff Peate by not holding him accountable to his Abuse you are belittling the victims experience.
“You are already in a state of awareness.” This is true and when we finally do away with the distractions of the mind, we will realize this awareness. Stay blessed everyone!
Imagine claiming you're aware while following a proven cult leader who is a known abuser.The irony is palpable.
@@m123g Who?
@@m123g Hi , can you refer me to your source for this information. Maybe @- has muddled Mooji with someone else. It is common for so called cult followers to invent accusations because they have been challenged to wake up prematurely. The 'Me Too' movement has its equivalent group in seekers of truth who suck the finger that points the way.
although pointing people to awareness is a good thing, "gurus" like mooji are actually harmful. because instead of teaching how to INTEGRATE and PROCESS emotions and past trauma for the ego FROM the awareness, they teach people to essentially ignore their unhealed ego/subpersonalities and escape into that empty awareness instead. the problem is that you CAN'T live a full human life from there. you HAVE to integrate the awareness into your emotional life too otherwise you'll be spiritually bypassing (ignoring and suppressing your emotional experiences and "transcending" without truly healing, which is just a ticking timebomb waiting to happen). this is why spiritual cults and shit get formed and why a member of mooji's ashram committed suicide yet the members just brushed it off. the members of those cults have been trained to keep escaping from their trauma and just "ignore" the mind instead of properly processing and healing!!! and mooji is likely doing the same himself, which is why there are so many reports of him emotionally and verbally abusing his students!!!
@@babygorl9541 You have an interesting interpretation of Mooji. Meditation brings up things for review. Analysis has its place in in other psychotherapeutic activities.
"Feel it and heal it" does happen in meditation. Going to states of greater awareness is the result of disciplined meditating. It is safe because it is self limiting. The people who get into trouble are likely to already have some kind of mental illness.
I would like to thank Mooji for his clear, meaningful and touching explanations, as well as Russell for his relevant questions.

I love Mooji's ability to cut through Russ's overly wordy, waffle.
Moji offers his understanding and often complex concepts in very simple terms, just wonder-ful. 😊❤
Actually I think Mooji admires, as anyone else does, Russell’s ability with words. He’s probably thinking wow I’ve never had a student explain shyt to me this good.
I was about to attain enlightenment, when an ad for chrome book interrupted Mooji’s guided meditation.
Yes
Skip straight to the end of the video and press replay, and all the ads will be gone.
Sums up the whole ‘neo-spirituality bullshit’ scene..
when it true awareness the advert was another “stone thrown in the bush” You cannot leave the consciousness you are behind, you can simply allow it to not be the forefront of attention, if that made sense
Yeah better DeGoogle your life!
This must be the most powerfull content i've ever watched on youtube about self realization. The meditation was very clear. This emptiness behind everything, which isn't even emptiness or behind anything. Its just all there is. And not "some thing" but a state that needs to be experienced. And it lights up. Our inner nature of ourselves.
YeS!! Non duality, and Mooji is The way. Aum.
@@JonasAnandaKristiansson mooji isn't "the way". he's ONE teacher who points to nondual awareness, and does so in an incomplete way because he doesn't teach students how to integrate their shadow parts into it. that's why people in his ashram commit suicide or he verbally abuses students and no one bats an eyelash. they're spiritually bypassing.

Beautiful description of holding space for these thoughts without judgment or becoming intertwined with them, but just allow them to simply be.
i have heard so many spiritual teachers for years but none has changed my life like mooji he is my only teacher now... THANK YOU ❤️
I like both these guys but never imagined they'd intersect. This was a pleasant surprise and enjoyable viewing.
As a “seeker” I found this interview to be powerful and meaningful. As I strive to make age 50 to 75 the best years of my life- it is conversations with a variety of people with viewpoints (directly one on one- or podcast conversations I can listen to) have an impact.
Alan Watts, adyashanti, j krishnamurti, rupert spira, gangaji, Anthony de mello. And if you can look behind the hype osho was probably the greatest I have ever heard. ruclips.net/video/uLvefQXkMBE/видео.html
Mooji and all great Masters point us to return our attention to presence. Tomorrow is an illusion. You have no guarantee that you have all these 25 years to live. Make now the best moment of your life and be happy! One should not survive these many Masters... Pick one that resonates inside your heart and stick to it. Otherwise your mind will take you on a long, knowledge seeking road into many more births. Mooji changed my life. More than 25 years of suffering removed by a simple shift in perspective. It is all in this moment. Blessings ❤
Much strength and perseverance in your seeking ! I wish you to find your God self and experience it’s bliss forever 💕 and when that happens the seeker also will disappear... 🙏🏽

@William Oarlock ewwwwwwww
Right!!!
isnt he a cult leader
This is why I love Mooji...his delivery holds no ambiguity, it is simple...but this simplicity can take years to understand as we have so much conditioning in the way. In this respect one has to be ready. After many years I finally have detachment with compassion for the mind...and a connection with the original self thanks to Mooji. Much gratitude & many blessings.
mooji neglects to teach emotional and energetic integration or the importance of healthy ego function, which leaves many of his followers in a near-braindead and easily controlled state, AND he encourages them to practically worship him!!! this is the kind of thing that happens at his satsangs videos.files.wordpress.com/zc985CdP/ev-2_hd.mp4

Have resonated with the message/essence of Jesus since childhood...but follow my heart, intuition, callings, signs, feelings, gut instincts, dreams, spirit, soul, nature...these are all words...(it's all just words for the same thing to me) ...am guided/connected & trust.
@@babygorl9541 I can't believe that you have the time to slander him on every single comment. It's almost like you've got something to gain from putting people against him.
Interesting, because I personally find his view to be very ambiguous. So much so, I have trouble of obtaining any of his "answers" to be firm.
Having listened to Mooji’s guidance for years. It struck me during this fantastic interview with Russell, that I’ve never once heard him contradict himself. Not once. Such is the way of Truth.

Tyvm Russell and Mooji - I am not the label "my trauma" .. Im not the label "my PTSD" Im not the label of "my mistakes" these thoughts kept me hooked into a role I played out on the worlds stage. The observation outside of the "trauma vortex" was very much needed

"What does the wanting want?" I loved this question that you posed! I can totally relate and have never heard it phrased this way. Thanks so much Russell
Giving what the wanting wants. Dream to give up attachments. What a journey.
anyone struggling with how to deal with those thoughts that lead to giving into your addiction needs to watch this.... ty Mooji and ty Russel
When I opened my eyes from that guided meditation, they were full of tears. It is brilliant that Russell shared this with everyone. Mooji's simple and direct invitation to experience that coreness, that space which is You, is truly profound. What a blessing! Thank you.
What a beautiful report. Thank you for sharing. From my own experience i can also share that the recognition of something so intimate, so close , so all pervading ...something that left to be far away hidden from you, but actually was always here...recognition of who yo truly are, does brings tears. As thought a long lost love is here again. And Mooji has such a clear way of opening our eye. Timeless gratitude to him.
@@nityasamoshchenko2257 , yes, thank you, too.

Observe allow, and then fight and persist! Allowing something negative too long could have detrimental effects.
I happen to see mooji in Thiruvanamallai in 2020.
There was a sudden shift within me by just being around him, he looked at me and suddenly everything was inside my heart.

@@susancarolan153 Don't rate and compare gurus. We all have a tendency to do this. Constantly trying to see who is better than who else so you can pick the "perfect" one to learn from.
They are enlightened people within themselves and their life's work is pointing the way for others to be the same. But at the end of the day all of these guys are still human beings and are living as such while they are here. They just trim the unnecessary fat off the experience of life such as pointless negativity.

I love how I grow without even knowing it. I started watching Mooji about 4 years ago but stopped after a while because I didn't understand him. I have been listening to many teachers and read quite a few books since then and have had some profound experiences meditating. Now I listen to him again today and I finally understand what he is saying.
Agree 💜
Same 💗🥰 I had same with Alan Watts also. Now so wonderful how much expanded our conciousness awareness has grown in such little time and little effort the right way for us no hurry ever!
What type of meditation are you using?
I love that Maharishi said all the thinking is just stress moving out of the system, making space for the transcendent, and how often he said just take it as it comes. Mooji is right in line with this!
This guys is masterful with his words. Weird how we randomly stumble upon teachers when we are ready. Never heard of him until today and haven't listened to Russell in a while either. I believe it was placed there for me to find. Will definitely be listening to more of both of these people. Been looking for it and boom 💥
I used to listen to him loads but the vibe around him changed hard since bout 2015. He's a self titled enlightened guru that has a sus community behind him who glances over suicides happening under his watch, like it's no big deal. He's a man that loves the light upon him and being adored, he's not a mental health expert nor qualified acharya. He's just a semi palatable narcissist that listened to papaji and thought he was immediately enlightened and went on to exploit Ramanas and Papajis name. Just study the shastras, nevermind "gurus"
Mooji is a great teacher and master of the mind, ignore the haters, the Truth he expresses and embodies 'threatens' the very illusion people like Macdog hold onto bit too strongly and unable to swallow such depth because they lack conscious maturity to recognize a higher truth and mastery.
@@truesight91 You certainly know a lot about someone youve never met (yet you can't even speak directly to me, lul). To choose such assumptious response over proper vada, seems like a lack of the qualities proper sadhana chatushtaya ideally builds in us.
Lul, the irony, youd think if Mooji was as you say you'd speak a bit more mindful towards others. Yet you speak, literally, just as any kultie would.
Question, if Mooji is such a humbled avadhut, then why does he find it necessary to delete videos over the years that showed him in a poor light? Why was he even once banned from Ramanashrama in Tiruvannamalai? What about the dths (r.i.p.) at his camp that he basically brushed over online without much of a word? How about the necklaces of himself that he once had on his website, only to remove (during a time he was being accused for Osho similarities). How about the fact that Ramana intentionally never left a parampara, nor was he apart of any sampradaya - and yet these modern western figures *constantly* exploit his name as though he did leave such lineage (probably definitely not for marketing reasons)?
The list goes on, really.
But just bypass all that, i guess?
The proclivity for yall to bypass any words of concern by looking down from the high-horse you've created, is simply yet another one of the factors people point at this corner for.
@@macdog1 I am not Mooji I am the True-self I don't need to meet you personally to know everything about you, because when you meet the true-self you master the mind and all the other ego's along with it. I don't live on stories and rumors you read or hear about online, I simply bathe in truth, and that is all I need. I don't dwell to much on stories and spiritual mumbo jumbo. Know Thyself.
@@truesight91 "I have met the True-self I don't need to meet you personally to know everything about you, because when you meet the true-self you master the mind and all the other ego's along with it. "
uhm... what?
Im not sure you understand what you mean by "mastery of ego" when you use it in this context, and are rather advaitic shuffling the conversation.
I say this because, no where in our shastras, nor from any sant or rishi, do we hear that proper vivek/vairagya towards jivatman and ahamkara grants us magical powers to understand the impressions upon every flowering of personhood within this infinitely diverse garden. If that were so, you'd be able to articulate all of my prarabdha karma back to me, right now.
Can you?
Peace be upon you all. I'm 27 now, but about 7 years ago, I enjoyed Mooji for his self reflection, and insight. It's nice to see these two speak.

@@bmbmbm1 His teaching is not his teaching, he borrowed it from the Sadgurus, like Ramana Maharshi, Papaji, Nisargadatta. Those Sadgurus life was immaculate, clean. Mooji is a crook, business guru, his life doesn't support his teaching, so worthless. If you are interested in spirituality, read the original teachers.
@@bmbmbm1 you can not TRULY "let go" long term, without integrating the emotions at some point. YES you need the awareness as a first step, but if you're not using that awareness to then embrace and heal the parts of you that have been traumatized, you'll always just be spiritually bypassing. i'm not talking about typical therapy. i'm talking about a system like IFS (internal family systems) that gets you interacting with the suppressed, fearful, angry, etc parts of your ego and actually liberating them, freeing that energy that's been stuck in your system. simply realizing awareness does not magically make that stuff evaporate. it stays in your emotional and physical system until it's truly liberated.
@@bmbmbm1 yeah exactly!!! although i think you have the steps out of order. it's okay and actually advisable to access the awareness first, because that will give you enough space and capacity to be able to handle the buried memories without being overwhelmed :) you just shouldn't access the awareness and then ignore the buried memories as if they aren't there anymore. use the awareness as a resource to help process and liberate those stuck energies. gurus should be teaching that but unfortunately it seems that many of them are un-integrated themselves :/
@@bmbmbm1 I can speak from direct experience that these things are NOT true. It was a nasty article written to try to discredit a wonderful teacher. As with everything on the internet, read with discernment.
I don't get emotional all that often. But I balled my eyes out when Mooji acknowledged how much Russell cares about the world and the people in it. It was a beautiful moment. Thank you to both Russell and Mooji for all you do🙏🏻
What helped me a lot with my identifications was cognitively restructuring my belief in them by asking myself "Who would I be if I didn't possess X [the identification]." For instance, even with my most negative attributes that were hurting me, knowingly, I had to ask myself who would I be without them. Here is an example, "Who would I be if I wasn't so controlling?" "I would be calmer, more loving, and open to others." This helped me release my negative identifications - by proving to myself that I would benefit from releasing them. Cognitive restructuring is a necessary part of the recovery process, I think.
I agree. The thing is to find ways to let go of the belief. It is, no it was there for a reason. And even though the reason is something from the past, I’m impressed by how persuasive, strong, debilitating, numbing, and things like that it can be. It’s grip is incredible. Ratio can’t seem to fix it. I’m so glad for you that you can simply release a thought by stating “who would I be without x”. Thanks for sharing
Very helpful thank you for sharing this practice
I could listen to Mooji all day. He has such a calm and soothing voice 💕
Mooji has been a big influence for so many years.... he's a true friend who is always very pure and loving. I'm so glad you have had him on your show Russell... love you both.
Russell Brand you are brilliant -I love your conversations with Eckhart Tolle and Gabor Mate - best ever.
"that you are not your thoughts is a great discovery but its not a great teaching" that right there is a great bit of teaching
Mooji’s calmness is palpable. Thank you for this interview.
I love having these moments of recognition. Peace and love , y’all.
Russell is so friggin sweet, vulnerable and sincere. Mooji, my goodness ...to have a partner like that....that moves through life with ease. Bless them both.
I love that Mooji had outgrown his past and sad things. He doesn't identify with it. This is where I am trying to get to. I am grateful that this perfect information comes at the perfect time. Thank you Russell and Mooji.
Russell Brand this is the best interview ever. Mooji is my Guru. I have listened to his videos for years. He is the only person that taught me how to meditate. Previously I was unable to sit still and quite my mind and was not able to meditate. His exercises taught me how to meditate easily and without effort. I can testify that his teachings work. I am happier now than I have ever been in my life. I was able to heal and get rid of a mental addiction due to childhood psychological abuse, and because of Mooji's meditation of being the observer not the person, I was able to realize God as a beingness and Consciousness, not the body, not the mind, not a person. I was able to realize that I was the God Self observing the body and the mind. You are the Observer not the thing Observed. That realization is what makes you feel free, happy, and at peace. It gives you power over your life. You take control of your body and mind, not the body controling you. When you realize you are not the person your addiction and problems dissapear into nontthingness. When you Realizing you are the empty space, a presence, The Issness, not a person, the problem is no longer real, but was just an illusion, a false idenity, of no importance, you loose interest, and no longer focus on the problem. You realize it is not a thing just a construct, like a cloud that dissapates. You become the Observer, Not the thing you observed. You realize you are not the problem, you are just watching from an empty space of consciousness. You cannot be the thing you observe if you are watching it. Anything you can see or observe is other than the Self. This is why Mooji says Watch, just Observe. Self Realization is an inner awareness, a knowing, feeling in a space of just being, consciousness. If you are not that which you are looking at you feel free, no fear, you are in control of your thoughts and feelings naturally, not by force. This consciousness is God. The God within. If God is Omnipresent, that means every where, then God is in you. There is no space that God does not exist. "As above, So below", Jesus said "Ye Are Gods" '"Repent or Perish" which means without self realization, in your forgetfulness, you will suffer. Ignorance is the cause of all suffering. To remember your God self is the cause of everlasting joy, peace, happiness. In your ignorance you use your God Mind to create negativity, and suffering. "As a Man thinketh in his heart, so is he" "Your Faith can make you whole". We all have the power of God waiting to be discovered, but we have the free will to create our reality. The God Self is eternal, always was, and always is, eternal, never changing, perfect,blissful, joyful and happy. Every THING changes, but God remains the same. The world, your body, your life, all changes, is born and dies, but the God self remains eternal and perfect. When you realize this truth you will have a security, and fullfillment that will last. God created the universe to experience this reality, forget himself, then remember himself for the purpose of extending, expanding, and creating bliss, joy, and happiness. Suffering is just a catalist to finding your God Self. Ignorance is the cause of all suffering. The purpose of life is to achieve Self Realization. Because in your forgetfulness you will suffer. Only after achieving Self Realization will you find everlasting happiness. God cannot and does not suffer. It is the Man, the person that suffers. Jesus said " Seek Ye First The Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be added unto you." Jesus also said "The Kingom of Heaven is Within"
And the Kingdom is nothing & everything, unmoved, total darkness, calm, peace, formless, boring place... That could be a reason y we came back into this reaction lustful dead loop. Because there is nothing from above & below, out there or in there, left or right.. Because of nothing, we create something out of nothing as we had tasted this/that "something" b4. Or maybe this is just a lonely dead looping solar system that eat itselves into the blackhole.
Evil has to be taught to be perceived as evil because "they" know without (judgement) evil, there won't be any reason for any life to begin here. It's always evil & good, the twin brother that keep this wheel running since existence.
When I feel undone, I find things like this. Thank you.
I love this so much. Mooji explaining observing thoughts without being them makes me think of emails that come up on my screen, or ads like clickbait that want me to click on them, but I just look at them without clicking.. I can see them and look for the little X to close it.
Wonderful find on youtube. I feel like the oneness of consciousness led me to this youtube program. I am blessed! Thank you to the creator for leading me here!
Mooji is an enlightened spirit. He is the gift that keeps giving. Thank you Mooji .
No, he lost his light years ago. This is just stale repetition.

@@enterprisingdrop3226 it’s ok to feel that way. His words are so fresh for me. I’m certain I could pick one video and watch it daily for life and it would be deeper and deeper as I evolved. 🙏
@@corkyvanderhaven3391 I really hope you dont watch his videos daily for the rest of your life and only continue to await the day that you will be as enlightened as he is. All good, but just dont do that please. And dont pay him too much, or go to live with him either.
I had the privilege of meeting Mooji when he was in Rishikesh (India) earlier this year right before the pandemic happened. Although, I was following him for many years before and had done a few of his meditations. I truly realised the immensity of his presence in his Sathsangs in person. The meditations which he so gracefully immersed us into are forever etched in the deepest parts of my being. Me and my partner both were struck deeply by what he revealed within us. Soon after we left Rishikesh, the whole world went into lockdown. I wonder if I would have gone through it all the way that I did, without receiving this ticket/inner-pass from him...lol. Hope to meet him in Monte Sahaja soon!
This is my first exposure to Mooji, but wow. He's like a translator. Thank you for this!
I've been following Mooji for more than 10 years now. And I've been following Russell for a few months. This interview was a blast! ❤👏💥 Both are beautiful beings. Thanks for sharing your souls 💗🙏
Best ever video with Mooji, I just can't stop laughing. Seeing Krishna's/Christ's/Buddha's play in the vast totality of the Ocean/Consciousness.
Here is Tao, playing itself out, without resistance of the human mind.
Blissful Siddhi..
Just being effortlessly concious at all times is all you need to do in this life.
Not easily done I think
@@Ty-13That depends tho...but definitely can be done tho.
What a pleasantly, shockingly enlightened comment section.
So, glad people knew or learned of or were able to experience what he offers…..every time he speaks.
So enjoyable to witness people witnessing.🙏🌏✌️💠
Thank you to all those who offered their words here
Mooji
Epic human and connected wordsmith and pointer to the real self.
Many teachers are fantastic but, he is so gently authentic and open to student listeners
🌏✌️🙏
To not be an architect but to let the architect reveal itself in and through you.
The guided journey had a profound effect on me, more than any meditation before.
It’s called the “direct path” for a reason😂🙏❤️
Even a crystal bell seems dull and murky compared to the spiritual clarity that Russel Brand and Mooji have brought to this video. For me Mooji's explanation was perfect ....'The awareness of the awareness …. the attention turns back from where the seeing is coming from!'. For the planet's sake I hope billions watch this!
Speechless, thank you for being so gentle, Mooji.
I have previously had prejudiced ideas about Mooji until today when I heard the entire podcast at Luminary. Wonderful teacher and man, not at all this wannabe guru I previously kept in my head. Bless you, Russell!
I love Mooji's simple and clear wisdom. He makes it so easy, all we have to do is listen.
Been a follower of Mooji for sometime now and still after a few minutes I have to pause the conversation and hold my thoughts, what a blessing to see two people come together and share positive self awareness... Many thanks x

Russell thank you so much. I love moojis informal approach. He showed me the light. Funny it was as if Mooji found me back in 2012. 💕
The most useful thing anyone ever said to me that really hit me at this point of observing is : You must separate yourself from your need to be relevant.
Since every thought being observed is coming from this conditioned desire for relevancy, immediately that speaks that we are MORE than those things, and therefore MORE than whatever we feel will make us feel relevant.
Thank you for this matey. I had the opportunity to interview Mooji a few years ago at Monte Sahaja on a series of podcasts I was doing. Hold him in very high regard. So I was nervous as hell lol, I wish i had your calmness and eloquence. You held a beautiful space for the conversation. Namaste Russell
read about how he treats some of his followers here. the high regard you give him is not so deserved. www.reddit.com/r/Meditation/comments/88nf2l/mooji_metoo_movement/
Russel you are a gifted interviewer, drawing on intuition to explore esoteric experiences so hard to articulate. Thank you for sharing your gift with us through such a beautiful person like Mooji ❤
I have for quite a few years been a dedicated student of Mooji.
I find it better to listen and absorb, then begin to feel.
Mooji = peace, love and serenity...x
Let the negativity flow too, there is plenty of room within the cosmos for every feeling and action. Attached to nothing, not even this body. I love you all and you too mooji
Russell has manifested many a significant moments in life that served as a great justification of his own existence and purpose on this planet, but this mind-opening conversation with Mooji is perhaps the most significant of all.
He’s coming along in his Buddhahood quite nicely 😉🙏❤️
I love Russell Brand not only his work but who he is as a person very open-minded human hard to come by a train of thought such as his and I wish more people could appreciate dialogue such as this. I'm able to listen in these crazy times thank you sir.
Thank you Russell. I'm finally clean and sober. And this teacher lead me into one of the most amazing lucid dreams of my life, singing and enjoying the scents of heavenly incense at a heavenly ashram. I woke up in tears. Went back to sleep hoping to continue the dream, AND IT DID CONTINUE. Must meet him.
Briliant how it looks and feels as if you're both in the same room.
Would love to see Rupert Spira on here!
100%. He is the most clear to me.
Agreed
you guys need to check out loch kelly he's the best of them all. and in contrast to rupert and mooji he actually teaches integrating emotions and past trauma a well, instead of ignoring them.
baby gorl クリームシチュー美味過ぎ Thank you very much for your suggestion. ❤️
Yes!
I loved this under the skin!! Mooji has been the only teacher that gets me intouch with my true self without any internal fighting 🙏 Russell's smile after the meditation was infectious 💜
I tend to have hangups getting past that self-realization sort of illusion my ego plays for me called the, "ooh look how enlightened I'm becoming!" The times I can get past or through or beyond or whatever, that is when I start to feel freedom and peace. Ha! Throwing the stone in the bush! Yes!! Thank you fellas.
Amazing gentle reminder of our true nature!!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for giving us a closer look at the ideas Mooji holds personally. His content is more outward focused on the people he is speaking with or the teachings his is trying to impart. He always brings me such a sense of peace. It is good for us to have a personal glimpse of the persons who effect us.
So clear and concise ❤️Mooji❤️🙏 I feel you man🙏
Russell, thank you for sharing this time you spent with Mooji. I don't know if you go back and read comments, but this message was a breath of fresh air as we go further into this ever divulging dystopia.
The fact that he shared this entire podcast on youtube says a lot
Russell and Mooji whaaaaaaatttt!!!!😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a powerful and encouraging conversation on how to be the change we want to see in the world. Thanks Mooji and Russell!!

Blissful Siddhi..
Mooji is the only voice that can get through to my soul.
Try papaji, his guru, and ramana maharshi, his guru
I'm sure the students he sexually abused felt the same.
Thank you Russell for introducing us to Mooji. He is spot on!!! Living in the moment, not always ‘wanting’ , or searching for something!!! Whether it be enlightenment or ✌️ peace, (or something intellectual )...
Mooji's voice is ... Beautiful 🤭🌻💖💗🤧
I am so happy that you are with Mooji. It benefited me greatly to hear the conversation and reminded me of what I needed to focus on in this life. Om Nama Shivya
"I don't expect anything. I just discover as we go."
Thank you Russel and Mooji, for the presence in "Is-ness"! Lovely...
