We were lucky to catch up with Doctor Racso recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Doctor thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you feel you or your work has ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized? If so, tell us the story and how/why it happened and if there are any interesting learnings or insights you took from the experience?

I guess when you take on the path of a maverick, being misunderstood/mischaracterized becomes a part of the dice roll. When I first moved out here in Austin, I ran social experiments undercover. Nobody who I was and I had no reputation to live up to, I felt like a free man again. I could push the limits of what’s social acceptable just for my own curiosity. Seeing the various shades of my psyche was worth all the misunderstandings/mischaracterizations.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’ve always been a seeker at heart. Growing up in Yangon, Myanmar, all my high school mates set off to California for college. I wanted to see the real America, so I went right into the heart. Indiana. Within the first year, I had my first experience of an ego death. I had lived a privilege life because of my East Asian complexion in South East Asia. Similar to White Male Privilege. Moving to Indiana, I no longer had those privileges I was becoming used to. Quite the opposite, it was where I first learned about systematic limitations. My purpose prior, had been trying to break all personal limitations from the inside. Indiana felt like a challenge. Until I realized my own personal will, however strong it was, could not break the limitations of an external structure. That was when I learned about spiritual surrender. There is a higher power, Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will burn. That was when I started learning Vedic Astrology. The only thing that kept me alive through my dark night of the soul. Oh and it was dark. I felt like the dopamine depleted from my brain, all during COVID. Curiosity and a burning desire for truth was what kept me going another day. And anotha.

Have you ever had to pivot?

COVID. I was angry the metaphorical father. God/Government/Saturn. Whoever. For locking me in a tiny room for 30 days. I almost lost my mind. I felt like I was in prison with nothing but my own failures to think about. The more I distracted, the more suffering I experienced. I went off to college to seek truth. 3 years later, I felt like I backtraced being even more lost and confused. I was a Media major and had opportunities to go off to Hollywood as an agent or to the Advertising agencies. That to felt like more Maya. More illusions.

Matthew 7:3:5 – First remove the speck of dust from your own eye, then you will see clearly to remove the speck of dust from your brother’s eye.

Going off to Hollywood to be a part of Film Sets or starting a career in the ad agencies to come up with ads for SuperBowl, to me just felt like contributing to the world of Maya. Blinding and deluding people.

Psychology/Astrology intrigued me, because it was the opposite. Penetrating through the veils of Maya, to see truth.

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

Truth be told, my only interests in NFTs was just to make a quick buck as I’m sure were a lot of others. I have faith in crypto, especially with the Great Financial Reset coming in 2024. I’m a big believer in personal sovereignty. One thing NFTs taught me was how easily, the masses are manipulated through media. It doesn’t take a genius to learn the skills.
