Quoting original post: "If however one practices restraint and reflection and deep considerations on the physical level, some of that will carry over into the astral planes and one will not be victimized there with a near total lack of discrimination."
Suryananda’s addendum: Passion an impulse developing source of energy is to be considered counterproductive or even negative, as much as compulsion. However, when they are used during the cycle of our carbon based body life, and assisted with the sense discrimination in order to consolidate a relatively advanced breath infusion practice, accompanied with in-self introspection, they can be even essential in that narrow framework. The conjugated effects of those qualities translate into instincts within the subtle energy body form and can be part of a foundation for continued practice now and in future lives.
