Slinging Kracki On The Corner In Austin

File under: Satscams and Gurus Clockin' Dollars

Licensed counselor William Cooper of Austin, Texas, is a king pin in the Bhagavan Kalki's, aka the Kracki's attempts to sell his "deeksha" hysteria in the U.S. His primary targets appear to be satsang junkies, as they are the most desperate to get something from their imagined enlightenment. Cooper's method is chillingly simple. He asks the junkies to sell it for him by including their expressions of hysteria in his sales spam communications:

If you would like, you could email me about any subtle or not so subtle changes you may have noticed since the energy transfer. Although "the seed of enlightenment" will continue to grow and it is still early, I would like to hear about your experiences. One woman told me that she was still to start with but has found that it is deepening, another has noticed synchronicities becoming more obvious and frequent. Someone else says that their merging with silence and nature is becoming deeper and more common place. Others may find that it is too early to tell yet what is happening. I find that my psychological self continues to melt into the vast fullness of emptiness. When this melting occurs, muscle groups shudder as they release great amounts of old stored up tensions. As these tensions are released, it seems as my nervous system is expanding to convey greater amounts of energy which flows in from the vastness. My body feels more and more vibrant and alive.

As you might imagine, folks write back with all kinds of kooky nonsense, all cut from the template that Cooper provides them as he administers deeksha:

If you received the initial diksha well, it will continue to grow. It is a process that happens over time and is automatic. How can you tell if you received it well....are you seeing some changes happening. Can you feel old stuff starting to dissolve? Having said that, I and others have received multiple dikshas and I feel that it has compounded and speeded up the process. Everyone's results are different. Your path is your path. Many love to get diksha as often as they can. That is up to you and what you feel you need. Most important is your permanent awakening! You can trust your intuition on that. There is no fear as to missing anything....only following your inner voice to your total and permanent awakening when you are ready for it.

Another prong in Cooper's psych ops is to provide "scientific" evidence to support his claims of the miraculous power of deeksha by way of a NewAge™ quack and neuroscammitist known as Christian Opitz:

The production of oxytocin is severely hindered in most people today and this often starts at birth. In the late 1940s, medicine began to use drugs at birth as if it was some kind of disease. Among those drug, petocin (synthetic oxytocin) is used to induce contractions and thus birth, on the hospital's schedule instead of following the natural interaction between baby and mother. Whenever we receive a huge dose of a synthetic version of a hormone, our receptors are overwhelmed and the body's own production can be compromised. If this happens at birth, there can be permanent damage and a life - long pattern of producing too little oxytocin. It does not help much that the most important bonding phase between mother and child right after birth has become a medical procedure of taking blood, measuring the baby, cutting the umbilical cord too early and not allowing the baby a direct bonding with the mother and thus a gentle entrance into this world. The combination of petocin and the lack of empathy for the newborn baby in medicalized birth procedures is almost certain to severely compromise oxytocin production.

It is interesting to note that heavy drug use at birth, from petocin to pain killers to even some psychedelic substances that are no longer used, was introduced after WWII. When the first generation of babies who came into this world on drugs had arrived at young adulthood in the 1960s, they where the first generation to seek a deeper meaning of life through drugs. I believe the lack of natural oxytocin caused by drug use at the entrance into life can set up a strong recapitulation pattern of seeking life through drugs.

Although it is very difficult to measure hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain directly, electromagnetic signature testing allows for some conclusions about the effects of diksha in this regard. One of the main effects I have found with people who have been receiving diksha for a year or longer is a regeneration of receptors for both dopamine and oxytocin. This automatically leads to greater efficiency of these neurochemicals and a decrease in cortisol production. Diksha can also regenerate the substantia nigra, where dopamine is produced and this directly shows up in changed electromagnetic brain patterns. Many times I have observed a natural release of addictive patterns through diksha that where clearly related to low dopamine levels. Another interesting parameter is the electromagnetic communication between the brain and the heart. This seems to progressively get stronger in people through diksha and is one of the most important energetic correlation's of the flowering of the heart and true compassion. In some of the Dasas and in Ron Roth, this connection was off the charts when I measured them. Oxytocin is the biochemical bridge between the brain and heart. From the data I have gathered so far, diksha seems to be effective in strongly enhancing oxytocin in the vast majority of people. I also believe that this is one of the aspects of birth trauma that can be healed through diksha and that this effect makes diksha so worthwhile for children. Even though children are not supposed to enter into an enlightenment process, growing up with lots of oxytocin will give them a much more beautiful life experience.

We are very happy to offer, as a service to our readers, the thoughts of a university professor at a major research institution with a PhD in neuroscience:

Although the author does a good job describing the basic actions of several neuromodulators and neurotransmitters, he also makes several leaps of judgment based on the scientific data. Many of his claims are inflammatory and self-serving. For example, the author claims that synthetic oxytocin used to induce birth contractions drastically alters either the receptor density or endogenous levels of oxytocin production postnatally. There is no evidence to back up this claim. The author further states that the use of exogenous oxytocin after WWII created the "first generation to seek a deeper meaning of life through drugs." First, there is no evidence that children born after WWII or babies exposed to exogenous oxytocin are neurologically different than previous generations nor unexposed cohorts. Secondly, in almost every culture and historical period narcotics and/or alcohol were used in and for religious rituals. The desire to seek altered states is nothing new.

In all fairness, the author's unsubstantiated claims may be correct but should be tested. However, making these claims without supporting data seems to be used as a scare tactic used to make readers feel victimized by Western Science/Medicine who then may be compeled to seek "healing" from the author through diksha.

The most questionable aspect of this diatribe is the author's claim that he has tested alterations in neurotransmitters, hormones, and receptors via electromagnetic signature testing. There is no scientific data to support that this technique is viable. There are other, well established, means of testing changes in neurotransmitters and hormones via blood and saliva testing. There are also newer techniques using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, similar to a MRI, to test alterations in neurotransmitters and receptor turn-over.

There is some very good research that has and is being conducted demonstrating that meditation and prayer can have profound effects upon stress hormones and even upon the immune system. However, abuse of scientific data in the hands of a pseudo-scientist or false guru dilutes the power of the authentic research and the fascinating discoveries these studies produce.

She could be talking about any number of gurus and satscams that use so-called "scientific" studies to support their contentions and sell their products. And as any good snake oil salesman knows, there's one born every minute. They may get a bit of peace and joy, and that by itself is a good thing. But the clarity clouding assertions about enlightenment, how it happens and what it results in, is doing more to prevent self-realization than all the drugs and bad hormones this world has ever known, accumulatively.

The Kracki is truly an evil force on the planet at the moment. His platitudes about love, oneness and God energy hide an insidious attempt to destroy a person's ability to come to their own self-realization, and this plays right into his hands. He and his minions like Cooper are getting people hooked on a false, yet seductive idea about enlightenment, one which keeps 'em coming back for more, which is what every crack dealer in the world dreams about.
