Deception, Disguises and Fronts
The BKWSU engage in many forms of deception. To this end they disguise who they really are and engage with the world wearing a variety of masks, using a variety of methods, and includes tax fraud and pretending to be a charity. This is covered in the next few pages.
The BKWSU has an agenda. They want to fill their ranks to 900,000 dedicated members. According to their teachings that is the number at which the world will be destroyed. Soon after that paradise will arise from the radioactive ashes of hell and they will live as deities. However, there is a dilemma: how to openly and honestly reveal such an agenda and still be taken seriously? Clearly they have realized they can’t and have opted to be taken seriously – even if they have to engage in a process of deception to achieve this.
It is also a consideration that the collective ego of BKWSU management simply cannot cope with any accusation that they are nutters. But what else would you think if they told you that God is teaching them directly and exclusively, that the world was supposed to end in 1976 but that they are still waiting, that time repeats identically every 5000 years (yes you read all of this 5000 years ago and will do again in another 5000 years)?
Senior management is deeply concerned with the public persona of the BKWSU. It has been determinedly managed and is protected with ferocity. They do not tolerate dissent within their ranks and are especially sensitive to public dissent. They simply don’t want the public to know what they truly believe or what their true motives are. The irony appears to be lost on them, but their primary effort is to hide what they truly believe – their very reason for existing in the first place. This is evidenced by the fact that nowhere in the BKWSU websites, advertising material, or anywhere in their public presence will you find any reference to what they truly believe.
Instead they hide behind a deception of concern for you and the world. This is the cynical type of deception for which Pol Pot was noted. This is only the beginning however. The nature and form of deception continues to evolve. It begins with the claim to be teaching Raja Yoga.
Raja Yoga. One of the most prominent and effective marketing tools the BKWSU has employed for decades is its false claim to be teaching Raja Yoga. Patanjali is regarded in India as the creator of Raja Yoga, which is well respected in India and considered one of the highest paths to enlightenment by many. Patanjali created Raja Yoga before Christ. The BKWSU do not teach anything resembling Patanjalis Raja Yoga or anything from the Yoga Sutras. Quite the opposite – the BKWSU teach that all knowledge created by humans – including Patanjali – is impure and flawed.
Cynically they advertise that they teach “ancient Raja Yoga” playing on peoples’ interest in the genuine Raja Yoga. A gullible general membership will say that it is ancient because they taught it 5,000 years ago.
The meditation centres in Australia and other countries went under the banner of “Raja Yoga Centres” for many years before switching cover and referring to themselves as a university. It is still the favourite marketing tool however and a search on the internet will take you to many sites labelled Raja Yoga that are BK fronts.
A University. The use of the term ‘university’ is not only misleading but in most countries illegal. It is certainly not a university. There are no publicly accredited courses, qualifications or even a basic structure that might identify it as a place of learning at all. One has to be a cult member to even attend regular classes – which are nothing other than a process of mind control anyway.
Fronts. The BKWSU have more fronts and disguises than can be counted. They also present public programs, projects, conferences, services and the like under a variety of banners as well. The latest is a program, initiated in Wembley and transported around the world, called “Just a Minute”. The program is typically innocuous and encourages people to take just one minute at a time to meditate and be calm. Nice idea. In reality it is just an exersize in working their VIPs’ – giving them a stage and an audience, making them feel all warm and fuzzy and a bit closer to the final entrapment. They are also casting their nets as they look to increase their numbers and to replace the devastated people they have left behind.
Oxford Leadership Academy and Relax7. These two programs are run by long term senior ‘brothers’ who have refined the art of entrapment to a high degree and manage to turn a profit at the same time. Relaxkids is a business operated by a ‘sister’ who was indoctrinated as a child and who allows the BKWSU to exploit her business for the recruitment of children.

I notice also that they teach empowerment and confidence building classes thus lining themselves up with New Age and Personal Growth themes already common in society.This is the way that they infiltrate into society by presenting quite a legitimate and acceptable front.

I sympathize with your loss. We can hope that your ongoing friendship and those of her mates will carry her through, and eventually away from BK influences.

Frank Wylie obviously doesn’t understand what Buddhism is if he is into the BKs – or vice versa.
And- how can he be part of the Green party – dedicated to living sustainably, in harmony with the earth and with social justice – as the BK believe that climate chaos is a sign of an imminent establishment of a “heaven on earth” for the chosen few after the billions of the rest of us are annihilated. The BK idea of social justice is based on cosmic (read “unknown”) forces such as karma and God’s canopy etc – that leads to a spiritual caste system.
Dear citizen Smith, please humbly ask your soulmate best friend and your wife( is this one person or two people? – no matter) to read up a little more from objective sources, especially the various ex-BK forums, like this one and others below, to find out what those who have “been there” for long periods of time know and why they left…
In essence – the BKs teach a few good things but that is mixed up with a whole cult mentality of “us and them”
