- My #UnderTheSkin podcast with the great spiritual teacher #Mooji. You can listen to my weekly podcast over on Luminary - get it here: luminary.link/r...
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.
Here is Tao, playing itself out, without resistance of the human mind.
Blissful Siddhi..
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. 💝🙏🌺
@@ladydi1755 Yesss
‘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 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.
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.
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.

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!
“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.
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.

@William Oarlock ewwwwwwww
Right!!!
isnt he a cult leader
“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.)
One of Russell’s best!!!!! I love Mooji and his simple but so powerful meditations. ❤️🙏
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... 🙏🏽

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
True
Enjoy your awakening.

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!
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.
MIND. BLOWN. I JUST realized how my body and mind are more like children I'm responsible for than actual aspects of myself! When my addictions rise, I'm going to see that suffering as a symptom of my BODY'S, not of myself. I don't not suffer unless i identify with the suffering of my BODY AND MIND. whew!!!!
I like both these guys but never imagined they'd intersect. This was a pleasant surprise and enjoyable viewing.
"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
Russell, thank you for sharing this on youtube. I thought it was a bummer that in my country Luminary isn't available (Netherlands) and I couldn't listen to this particular podcast. You deciding to share it here is something I want to say thank you for.
Also not available here in Denmark I hope that changes soon.
Neither in Paris, but I admire you more for putting it out free. For me in this matter you have surpassed Eckhart, who is on the richest people list. What for if all he says is true? Just saying! Love 💖🤜🏿🤛🏼 Susan 😷🐸🍀 in Paris. Winderful, both of you.🤞🤳☮️🙏🏻
From the Netherlands as well, also very thankful to find this on RUclips. 😊
not available in germany too, russel.
@@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 have heard so many spiritual teachers for years but none has changed my life like mooji he is my only teacher now... THANK YOU ❤️
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?
Mooji is the one who started "me" on the path to see where he's pointing, to move my fingernail out of the way of the sun. I consider him to be my one true teacher, sensei, guru, whatever one wants to call it, and I love him with all my heart.
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

@@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.
A word that comes to mind about all of this is - allowing. Allow it. Don't do anything. Just allow it. Observe and allow. No need to take control.
Observe allow, and then fight and persist! Allowing something negative too long could have detrimental effects.
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 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?
Mooji’s calmness is palpable. Thank you for this interview.
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!
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.

Beautiful description of holding space for these thoughts without judgment or becoming intertwined with them, but just allow them to simply be.
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
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!
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.
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

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
🌏✌️🙏
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.
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.
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

Thanks for sharing these conversations Russell, everyone needs to learn how to separate themselves from their thoughts. I also appreciate you being open about your struggles.
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!!!
baby gorl.. I respectfully disagree with your attributing someone's decision to commit suicide to anyone other than that person. As indivuduals with free will we can either accept or reject Mooj's teaching. If he is not part of the answers you seek or need, simply walk away. He does not purport to be God or Messiah and is not here to bear the burdens of our troubled souls.
Miss Kitty i didn’t claim the suicide was mr.moo’s fault. what i did claim is that the way he and his followers (cultists) dealt with it was incredibly cold and detached, which made it clear that spiritual bypassing and lack of emotional integration is rampant in his sangha. having a “whatever” attitude when someone dies isn’t spiritual. it’s cold and inhumane.
@@misskitty976 Please don't listen to this person. Mooji himself has addressed those rumours to be bs. I'm coming down the comments and i keep on seeing this persons pathetic attempts to malign his reputation.
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
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.

This vulnerability from Russell was wonderful and Mooji was very straight forward and simple. No whoo-whoo new agey nonsense. Thank you!
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!
Thank you so much Russell, I’m an addict and I followed this from the start to the finish, I am questing. I found this really helpful at this point. I have been listening to your videos for some time now and I really value your work and your dedication!! It helps me in this time of mine. That’s it really, I’m so grateful that you are on this pathway, I’m still having a beer and a cigarette. But I’m choosing not to beat myself up about that and rather focus upon my own life. Then I can choose to work on other things... after. I’m a man, but I feel love is of greater importance.
I need to love myself first, then perhaps I can move onto loving others. I want to. Thank you 🙏

I just can't control it
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!
Possibly one of the most beautiful podcasts to date. Thanks so much Russel and Mooji for creating such wonderful magic. Much love x
This is one of the most powerful interviews ever! Brilliant questions and brilliant answers! It captures so well human psychology and the way out of our own entrapment. Definitely, an interview I will listen to again and again.
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 )...
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.
Mooji’s intelligence is off the charts. Also, Russell was really deeply in sync with the messaging. Awesome interview!
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!!!
it is possible to have no thought, just keep trying. dont fear, not having thoughts. they will return. you must fully surrender yourself.
Thank you, both. Beautiful meditation. It evoked a “die before you die” opportunity.🙏❤️
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
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. 💕
I highly recommend this. Great questions from Russell, and simply profound replies from Mooji. If you're short on time - fast forward to about minute 49 to experience Mooji's "meditation". I watched the whole discussion and it was time "well spent". I was re-reminded of what I know but still sometimes distract "myself" from ;-). Russell thank you! This video and your recent discussion with Eckhart Tolle are, I feel, the best and most helpful video offerings I have come across.
Well said. I totally agree!

I sometimes think I'm "distracting" myself too, but it's hard to tell because i think these days we're supposed to find a way to balance being and doing. If we're 100% doing, we just get into too much mindless, restless, reactive activity that resides on the surface or the "outside" of life, yet if we're 100% being, we wouldn't ever really do anything
@@jimmynguyen227 fantastic observation, jimmy! that's why INTEGRATION is the important next step! after accessing Awareness/Presence, you must allow it to contact all the "parts" of you that are obsessively doing, or that feel that they have to prove something, or that are stressed out etc. these "Parts" of our ego/psyche must be EMBRACED by the new Awareness in order for us to be able to function with the peace and joyful /creative expression of openhearted Awareness. otherwise those realms of our experience remain separate, a constant back and forth of one "distracting" from the other like you mentioned!!
systems like IFS (internal family systems) are wonderful for this type of integration. you bring the Awareness to meet and get to know all the buried parts of your ego from unconditional love, which liberates them and frees the energy they've been holding, allowing you to live an awakened life without suppressing anything or getting re-identified with those small selves because they've been unburdened. its a truly beautiful and transformative work!! i've been doing it myself ^O^
@@babygorl9541 Mooji specifically addresses this and told how he handles it with someone. Maybe go back and listen again. Different people are at different levels of readiness and Mooji is very skillful in meeting people where they are
I've had many different teachers but Mooji is the one that I know world for me. His pointing is so direct.
Thank you Russell . From Australia , Your Brother. Leigh & Family
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.
Thank you for coming together to make this moment
So loved this interview Russell and Mooji. I have followed Gangaji (similar teaching and lineage) for a long time and in the past 5 or so years Mooji as well. It is so beautiful that these types of conversations are happening in a mainstream way for all to witness and experience first hand. What a blessing🙏 Thank you Russell and Mooji for making this happen.❤️❤️
Seeing this is refreshing since I was healed by mooji's teachings and reasons before while I can relate to russel's cravings to wisdom,philosophies and virtous ideas now.
Amazing gentle reminder of our true nature!!!! Thank you so much!
Two of my favorite people in the world! Russell & Mooji ❤️ 🙏
This was such a beautiful experience. Thank you so much, Russell and Mooji!
Let your thoughts be the best, and ignore the rest. Stay blessed 😃 Be quiet within yourself 👍👏
Thank you for this interview. Each time Mooji speaks more of the truth is revealed to me. Mooji describes the same truth in so many different ways this interview brought out some of his best pointings and descriptions of the truth in the most succinct and clear way . It was a huge reminder for me to refresh his pointings from a different perspective brought about by your questions.
Russell you did an excellent job with this interview. You asked so many of the questions I have wanted to ask . You brought out explanations from Mooji that deepens my understanding and experience of the truth. You covered the gamut of questions that I have had in how Moojís message relates to our everyday life and experience of our society. Thank you for your great questions and providing the forum for this interview to take place.
Totally agree. Russell’s questions were fantastic! ❤️🙏❤️
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.
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.
Thank you both for making the video available to us all! Love you.
Excellent. Thank you for bringing such a special teacher for this conversation about our difficult relationship with our minds.
Thank you both so much. The pointers from Mooji in this conversation have brought me more clarity and experiential understanding than anything I have ever heard before. 🙏🙏🙏
Mooji has carried us home, in the oneness, so many of us... people from everywhere around the world!!
And I am so grateful for it.. It is truely not something to missunderstand and it is more than many can take...
What he dedicates his life to is to bring us home and I owe him that I AM that i reached through him. So all my being loves you Mooji and all the bad noises are just passing by without changing anything about the truth you put in our hearts!
Mooji is an awakened human, and thank you both so much for this sincere, illumined conversation. Russel, please consider conversing with SADHGURU. Thank you.
Thank you for uploading the full podcast!
Dear Russel,thank you very much for posting this on youtube! You did an interview with two of the most dearest spiritual teachers to me : E.T. and Sri Mooji! Thank you for that 🥰
E.T?! The alien kids movie?
Oh my god , profound , awareness isn’t created ... it is . You don’t imagine awareness . Imagination comes through awareness in awareness .
Don't overthink it
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
Thank You Russell & Mooji For Sharing This. Bless You All With Lots Of Unconditional Love & Light Energy, Peace & Compassion.Cheers!!!!!!
This excercise is kinda like what death feels like , because you will have let go of everything
Ego death. Reborn in the Self
I have died many more times than I've been born in this life. And yet here I am. If that isn't proof that nothing I think I am is who I am, I don't know what is.
My question to Mooji would be this: if as you say there is an awareness after giving up all temporal things around and within you that is persistent and truly sustaining, then how much did you give up yourself? many people are giving up so much to fight for truth and justice in hardship in prison but you seem pretty comfortable in your own centre.
Its always a work in progress. Its like infinity. You are always tending to. So that in the process, you are able to judge your own decisions impartially and not always take everything personally - even something as personal as death or failure. It simply makes us less bipolar. So the highs are not too high, and lows are not too low.
Beautiful! I finally found that place of awareness. Its absolutely freeing!

What a beautiful, intelligent, gentle, insightful, amazing creation Mooji is. I just want to be with him always ❤️
Oh Thank You our Great Beautiful Mooji Baba. You have blessed me now with the most wonderful intimate moment with God that I have ever experienced. I am so happy. Truly happy. For once in my life I feel closeness and possibly even Love. THANK YOU
What a fantastic meditation 🙏
