When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, Oh joyfully, playfully watching me But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, Logical, oh responsible, practical And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical There are times when all the world's asleep, The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am (Supertramp - The Logical Song)
Whoa......I've always cracked up at the part when he's making all of those noises in the middle of the song. Little did I know that this ridiculous song holds this amazing deep truth and path to self awareness/enlightenment. My mind is blown at what has been right under my nose almost my entire life....I'm still going to laugh at that part of the song! thank you!!
This is what I learned in "A Course in Miracles"! The dreamer is not the dream. To awaken within the dream - is to end the dream of separation or the "dream of sin" - which never happened. The required course. "nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."
Such a compassion arises only from the pure nature of the self,something that our dear Mooji shines with constantly... Never has he shown anything else to us but pure Love and Compassion. Love you Mooji,and my deepest gratitude.
WOW!! Thank god you were recommended today in a stop smoking Live. I am a Devine being and I am gonna be one of the ones who leaves the illusion that keeps luring me in. ✌🏾🌻🔥 Update I'm still smoke free 9 days later as this was the exact spiritual part I needed to get on with another quit. Thank you beautiful being mooji 💜
zabelicious I agree that emotional states are usually what triggers alcohol and drug addictions, but as a former drug addict myself I can tell you that addiction to substances involves a complex physiological process in the body that usually can't be beaten with getting to the root of the emotional problem or using self-inquiry alone. The power of the addiction is just too strong and will overwhelm your capacity to mindfully overcome it. I know from years of struggling to beat the addiction with meditation and yoga and both failed miserably. Once I got appropriate treatment from a specialist who could get rid of the physical basis of the addiction, then the traditional tools became a very powerful adjunct to avoid relapse. So I must caution you not to think physical addiction is the same as emotional addiction, the former often needs the sort of help that spiritual teachers alone can't provide and frequently don't understand.
@@Lanetta-jm2ji Kinda. I'm sure very advanced yogis could ride out even a brutal detox - their pain tolerance is insane. And they have pranic healing techniques they have mastered that can aid them in doing that, just as a healer did with my symptoms. But then again, I've never heard of a highly advanced yogi becoming an addict, so...
For all of us: This is so moving and so TRUE... WISDOM for all to help and conquer the ignorance that we all face in this life. Thank you Mooji for giving us this wisdom to become free beings and open up to our true spiritual nature here on this earth. Truly joyful. Wishing love, Ty.
....and to further my analogy what happens is people become accustomed to the electric shock from the fence and thus keep doing it. That's the addiction. This truth that all joy actually comes from within is the truth that will set you free if you go through with undoing the addictions from material things. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy material things from time to time but you will have the knowing and understanding that it does have a downside and you won't get your main source of...
This is simply profound Mooji! Who are you!!...I find an uncanny connect with you! This is my 3rd video tonight listening to you! Surely you are my Guru connect!! ❤️😇🙏
He does both. He charges but also does satsangs for free. His Satsangs seem fairly cheap to me. Ive been watching Mooji for free on the internet for years. Maybe it's changed but all his live satsangs Ive watched were free. But basically this is a dude who lets people in his house for free, who does free satsangs, who when he charges is cheap, who lives very very simply. He is -by most peoples standards- clearly not in it for the money. If he is, he is a terrible businessman.
yea his is compassionate just got into this man that and other teachers philosophers will help me get thru my addiction with alt* holistic psychadelics
talk about timing, just today i was thinking about this - how addicted v r to this life, wanting the same titillation over and over again, though v know v will b thirsty again.
To be free from addictions(of any kind, it could be as simple as watching TV too much) is to be truly free. To realize all joy comes from within and to get your joy from that. All material pleasures have a downside. They make you kind of happy temporarily and the happiness has an opposite. Trying to get lasting happiness from material pleasures is like touching an electric fence. Sooner or later you have to learn, if I do this I get shocked....
I just love This Guy's Explations and wisdom.His Exposing the Ego he has words that Touches One inner Self That One has Never Know Themselves!!!! WONDERFUL MOJJI! YOU ARE A GEM!!!!
I have been saying for a long time that addiction is so deep we will never understand it fully, and it goes deeper than any one person can phathom. If there's anything in this world that is impossible, it is to understand addiction in it's entirity.(spelling):)
I love his soothing voice and gentle ways. Sri Moojibaba You Are the Father I Never had on this Earth and You Give Me so Much Comfort, Hope and Love. I feel Fullfilled for the 1st time in my 60nyears of Life. Alotnof My Experiences Were a Nightmare Until God Led Me to You. Thank you Papa I Love You More than Words can Say. Your Child ❤️ 🙏
Another type of subtle addiction, is addiction to thinking. Addiction to the ego. That causes tremendous suffering for people if they are unaware of it. it's not that you totally stop thinking completely forever. It's that when you think you develop the ability(from practice such as meditation) to step back from your thoughts and realize that you aren't the thoughts so they no longer bother you.
Billy32210, you couldn't be more correct. Compulsive thinking is an addiction. The world's peoples have for centuries believed that we humans are the thinkers. When in fact, we as human beings have egoic minds that perpetrate the thinking process. The ego is clever but its not intelligent. We as humans simply cling to subliminal universal thoughts from which we build our little personalities and we call them "me". What it comes down to is that Mooji and most if not all Spiritual teachers are trying to get mankind to understand is that there is only one TRUE thinker, and if we want to move forward and free ourselves from these addictions, then its time to let go of the little "me". It takes daily practice, prayer and meditation... but the rewards are out of this world.
I wonder if that girl stopped being addicted? It's easy to smile and nod, etc, in front of a master, but home, alone, is a different story. What helped me in the past was Pranayama, but then I stopped it, and slowly the addiction to booze came back. I find Mooji's voice very calming, and yes, he does have friendly eyes. Just found him.
My understanding of what he is saying is that he does understand the complexities of addiction. When he talks of dealing with it on a level of your identity being I am this person, with this past and family etc., then he says "you're in for a bumpy ride." What he is saying is to get in touch with the one who knows that it knows. It is difficult for me as well. But if you want someone to give you easy answers to solve your worldly problems. Then Mooji isn't the one to seek.
David Kulesh - But Mooji appeals to the will-power over addictions, and to have will-power is always associated with spirituality. Will-power strengthened by awareness is stronger than any help on the planet. ... Like the previous commenter said, if you are looking for easy answers don't go to Mooji :)
Mwaterfall lol,acyually you're so wrong.Mooji have the easier answers,even easier that most concept ever.His answer to everything is deconceptualisation,and reallise that all we know we've been taugh.You have been taught that you are a person that its diferent from all others,which is a lie. Even Jesus knew that :).
I too have listened to many of his teachings and something about this communication just didn't land. Im curious to see what his other comments are. I agree with Valinor100 that, addiction is complex and cannot be overcome by enquiry alone…but I will remain open and am super grateful these discussions exist.
Maybe he is getting huge because he is a genuine sage? When I met him he was the most loving being Ive ever met on this earth. I know it can be tough, but one has to face the question: is what I think really true? Are my ideas about spirituality and the truth really true or are they the way I was taught to believe? Also everyone has personal preferences, if yours are different, great, follow a sage who never uses money, doesn't mean a sage can't, or does it?
So beautifully and eloquantly expressed....it hits deep and it hits hard because the one speaking it is Grounded in IT...Thats Why his words have such power and Impact.
This guy's smile is the prime embodiment of God. Precisely what I see when I envision God. Not the harsh, vengeful Abrahamic God that religions often mistaken. The complete embodiment of Love. Of everything.
I don't agree with you but I understand your point. People with alcohol and/or drug addictions are mostly having issues with their emotional states. These are not real in the sense that they trick you to believe certain things which are NOT true. If you keep going to the addiction, use it to learn something about yourself, stop dwelling on the shame and guilt that results. Its counterproductive. I totally agree with what Mooji says, addiction is a symptom of something that needs to be addressed.
VERY true. Addiction to ANYTHING is bad. Unless it's addiction to your own joy that comes from within. haha. I used to smoke and drink coffee. I quit smoking and realized my coffee intake went WAY UP. lol. I was obviously compensating for that lack of nicotine with caffeine.
But he does his retreats for free? strange way of making money! He lives on undeveloped land where money is useless. He used to live in a tiny house in London. How is that 'in it for the money?'
Thinking that one is addicted to thinking, yes. Thinking that one is "the thinker" of thoughts and "the doer" of actions. We are the screen, not the going-ons on/in the screen :)
@Jaboie...You do have a point re Tolle..he is very much 'apart' of the 'Power of Now' franchise marketing machine. But I just get the sense that it's the 'other' folks around him that are pushing his message as an actually 'Product' that needs to be protected. Paradoxically, Sages do make Money. Call it, donations, contributions, call it what you want, from my knowledge sages are proper 'looked after' ....even Mooji. I'm just being real, Mooji has an acutal team behind that generates revenue.
mooji knows that addiction is just a feeling of lost or a feeling of emptiness that the people have, and he knows that those feelings come from identification with the body mind and the " story of poor me"...thats why he said that any addiction has no power when u know de thruth of ur real being.
@untoperfection45 very true I solved my addictions thus far by beeing honest with myself while addicted. Eventualy I realised I'am that I'am. I cant be what I am not if that makes sense lol
Most people "have an addiction." If you don't have any addictions then you are enlightened. haha. Drugs aren't the only thing that people are addicted too. You could be very vain and addicted to thoughts about how you look(that's just one simple example of an addiction that many are not aware of.) Most addictions are subconscious that people have. And by subconscious I mean they are unaware of them. But you can tell they have them by how they behave and what they say.
"When I look in your eyes, I don't see an addict." Beautiful Mooji, thank you.
Mooji has got the kindest eyes and the most beautiful smile i have ever ever seen
Silva Tenor I think he is attractive
Also a beautiful sense of humour.
yes
Mooji never makes us feel like we are in any way less than he is. A genuine sage.
Yes
His teachings, daily practive and watching this video helped me quit smoking 6 months ago after 35 years of smoking.
Yeey to that!!!❤ I also quit smoking after listening to Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle!
Absolute legend, hope you’re still doing well
What daily practices can you elaborate?
@@shubhammittal9764 again.
Love you A. Rosa love you yes so sweet to hear such a good news, so inspiring, love you, love you
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

Whoa......I've always cracked up at the part when he's making all of those noises in the middle of the song. Little did I know that this ridiculous song holds this amazing deep truth and path to self awareness/enlightenment. My mind is blown at what has been right under my nose almost my entire life....I'm still going to laugh at that part of the song! thank you!!
And the song has an equally fine tune.
This is what I learned in "A Course in Miracles"! The dreamer is not the dream. To awaken within the dream - is to end the dream of separation or the "dream of sin" - which never happened.
The required course. "nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."
I awakened withi the dream just last night
8 years ago this video was a life safer for me, when I watch it now I am full of gratitude and so happy, thank you thank you thank you 🤗
Mooji is a blessing. This video made me cry, cleansing tears...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Truth is a healing balm ... Thank you!
Again, my interest is in helping people ACCESS these Truths as BEING.
His eyes are mesmerizing...full of compassion.
I really love how simply Mooji explains things. Love you Mooji
Such a compassion arises only from the pure nature of the self,something that our dear Mooji shines with constantly... Never has he shown anything else to us but pure Love and Compassion.

Valar, maybe you're still on-line, the comment was 3 years ago. What did the specialist give you to help with the physical basis of addiction?
Well that blows mind over matter right out of the water.
