"...he finds that the energy becomes responsive to his willpower commands and his sensation dictations within the psyche."

Where there is a will there is a way.

Where there is only physicality there is nothing.

Willpower can operate without the physical contribution.

When the physical body is no longer accessible, the willpower will still be functional.

Most likely when that time comes the mountain of impediment construed by the body would become evident.

The post can serve as a great provider of hope and equalizer for those who feel that lack of flexibility on account of genetics or personal habits or upkeep, etc. put them at an unfair disadvantage on this singular path.

It is natural and normal to start of paying attention to the physical in the beginning, at least to understand and get into the asanas proper. But they are not the aim; rather they represent a mere means to promote the all-encompassing internalized control.

That starting point also normally becomes the ultimate end, because the universal acceptance of yoga will remain the superficial aspect that is immediately observed and accessed. And this general mood sabotages the influence of genuine guru influence, drastically limiting or significantly delaying access to higher practice. Confidence therefore remains at the level of that universal yoga and may never evolve to higher practice.

In that connection, the sense of desolation that may come from lack of limberness in this practice is based on the universal energy of externalization. It is fundamental to have this clarity in our approach. Individuals with yogic background and instincts will be birthed across the globe in random gene pools or simply never have a genuine chance to regain access to yoga until later in age. This means that it will be even more critical to rapidly realize the importance of embracing the practice from within the subtle.

In a way, from the stand point of this modern setting I have to wonder if the best introduction to this particular practice is initially through physical yoga, as it generally leads to adulation of the gross form, based on natural material focus as well as the forceful and dominant push of the general energy defining yoga. Ideally, I would posit an approach that would only in second position integrate asanas as a means of further cultivating the prime objective of internalization and psychic manipulation of personal subtle energies and system.
