Vulnerable To Adulation

[David1]

I have the impression that, especially spiritual (seeking) people, are so vulnerable to adulation. They seem to have the tendency to cling to a guru or prophet. For example, when i watch a Mooji video...i see a lot of people acting like complete morons around him. What's with that? If i see them act like that, i can't help but thinking...'they are just not getting a word of what he sais'. They stand there staring at the guy, with their mouth open...wtf? He brings them a message of unity, self empowerment, and how every single one of us is an expression of 'Brahman' and then people act like this and almost worship the guy. It makes no sense. I have great respect and appreciation for Terence Mckenna. And if i could meet him in person (wich, sadly enough, will never happen), i know the worst thing i could possibly do is being 'starstruck'. Because that would be a clear sign that i didn't understand anything of what he ever tried to teach.

Lol. Almost made a thread about this some weeks ago.
I've seen this so much too in mooji's videos. It became clear to me how many religions and cults are created. Not by the guru. But by the people who starts to worshipping the guru, without realizing he's just another human, who realized what everyone of us can.
Also, showing gratitude is one thing, but stop kissing a ego that isn't there. Haha.
