Does Mooji still mooch off of his parents? Does he mooch off his followers? If you truly wish to follow and be like him, then go meet him and live with him for a time, and see if your perception is true. He prefers to think that you will know him by being like him from a distance. Fine: you only hear his words, but you do not see his actions in response to you. So, go spend time with him and interact with him. See for yourself who he is.
We all "mooch" off each other, the world is inter-dependent, independence is utterly impossible. Why are you making statements about people you know nothing about? I enjoy Mooji because I can feel the same energy in him I feel in myself, he says the same things I try to say but from a new perspective. I have no desire to be like him, each of us is utterly unique, emulating another just renders our own existence pointless.
I told you before I invited you over, that I knew how to get to know a person. You denied it, so I invited you. Upon arriving you quickly agreed with me, and you left for the same reason. Do you realize: 200 years ago you could read a book or hear gossip, but this form of anonymous communication did not exist back then? Now it does. Brave new world, eh? On the internet a person can apply as much verbal lipstick as they wish, and so can Mooji.
You have not even inquired about me, else you'd have found yourself in the process, you have only cared about peripheral events and they say nothing of me. You asked nonsense questions about irrelevant things, you debated instead of showing any genuine interest. God was in your home saying "know me" and you have said "no, be like me instead". You are the one applying verbal lipstick, nothing you say you stand for is genuine in your life, and nothing you have said have you stood by with me. You still cannot say you know anything about the man that stayed in your home for 3 days, you can only cite your judgments, but that says more about you than me.
I find it is an activity integral to love, faith, and honesty. If your parents or loved ones never argue or debate with you, then in my view they have not been loving, nor having faith in you, nor honest with you.
You know nothing about any of these things, you simply refuse to conceive of uniqueness, you do not respect individuality and this is the nature of your debate. I have gone there to show true love and you have refused it, I have tried to replace your faith with trust and your honesty with integrity, you have refused in each case. I have tried to replace your cynical eyes with eyes of wonder and you have simply insisted you know better.
There is nothing to boast. You banned me. You repeated the deed in person for something that I said, because you were uncomfortable. I believe my words were "stay", followed by "we will not be long". Should I feel proud, or ashamed, for speaking those words? I don't think so. Should I feel proud that the calling of a cigarette over the apparently uncomfortable atmosphere of people wearing uniforms and guns was more important to you? No. I don't blame you for feeling uncomfortable and wishing to loiter and smoke in front of someone else's building. You decided that what I said was unacceptable, and somehow disrespectful. Do you fear that I am proud of your behavior?
I banned you? What?
I was not uncomfortable at all, you refused to acknowledge polite requests, so I stated more firmly and provided consequences, you have still not managed to respect my request and so I have followed through on those consequences. At no point was I uncomfortable, I have chatted away in the car on the way to the airport, did you feel some sort of animosity from me? Even then I have still been trying to bring you to your center in everything I have said, I have spoken out of pure love about hoping you find a way to be around your children more, not once have I presented resentment.
Still you are on it though, still you cannot drop this subject, it only continues to show your utter lack of anything resembling respect. Yet, you consistently raise the topic of the Golden Rule, such a great ambassador of it...
A person being dishonest does not intend to truly believe their own words, but they do wish control over the ideas of others.
This is all I have seen from you: attempts to control others. You are a hypocrite in these words.
All you have seen from me is a refusal to be controlled, an insistence on freedom, and this is why we have clashed. I have never presented any ideas to you, I have only tried to destroy yours because they are worthless. You cannot notice the difference though.
Our entire dialog has been about you defending your pile of shit and refusing to allow me to shovel it out. Symbolic of this was my shoveling of your leaves, cleaning up your surroundings, yet did you notice they continue to come back? I suppose you think that was just something accidental, nothing in this world is accidental ever, there is no such thing. Existence has commented on your stubbornness in those leaves...
I have used them to show you something.
I believe you. You have yet to see me practicing it.
Yet I have been engaging in regular dialog with your for almost a year, I think I have grounds enough to say you're full of shit by now. You have no intention of growing as a person, you only care about defending your own positions. You have not even seen or understood that I have no positions at all, because you have been unable to drop the past each moment, you see everything I did and said as a collective representation of me. No, they were each a mirroring of you, there is no me. What is sad is the only time I laughed during my stay there was with strangers around the Safeway and your work, you are entirely too serious and this is a sickness.
Life is not intended to be lived seriously, it is to be enjoyed and celebrated. You are so utterly guarded though, you have not realized that your tight grip on life only kills it. You cannot possess life because you are life, you can only be possessed by it or kill it, and you have chosen the latter.
