Rebirth for Sunlight
Rebirth for Sunlight
Sunlight as we are familiar with it, is so valuable that one may take rebirth just to experience it. Some persons, even student yogis get upset and resent a yogi who is not excited about the sun, moon and zodiac. But are these cosmic lights worth repeated birth and death in the physical existence as a creature who has senses which can appreciate the physical sun and moon.
A friend who was a dedicated yogini but who is now deceased for over twenty years, approached me on the astral side while I did a meditation session. This person currently stays on the astral side near the Himalayan mountains in India at ashrams where on both sides, the physical and astral, yogis congregate and do yoga practice.
I conversed with this person for a little, asking about the living situation on the astral side. Then I felt that she wanted to enter my psyche. She said this: “Let me go in and see. I really miss sunlight. I have not seen it for years since I left my body. I crave to see it. I must be attached to physical existence; otherwise how could this happen to me?”
Just then as she was compelled by a tendency in her mind, she entered my psyche and sat behind the vision screen of the mind and saw the sunlight as it spread through some plants which were about thirty feet from my body.
She calmed down as she viewed it. She was like a child looking through a bay window at a flower garden.
This craving for sunlight or moonlight could assail a yogi/yogini who is departed. It may cause the person to take another physical body haphazardly without regard to the historic circumstances of the country that body is born in, or the situation of the parents relating to if they will remain together as a family or divorce and so many other probabilities which may affect what happens to the body assumed.
Why then is there no astral sunlight and moonlight?
The answer is that there is astral sunlight and moonlight but only in some astral dimensions. If somehow one does find oneself to be in a hereafter place which has no sunlight and moonlight, the craving for these lights will assail one. It will make one discontent, depressed and unhappy hereafter.
The astral level where this yogini resides is one in which there is twilight or dawn but it is like that continuously. It may take a special yogi/yogini to remain in such a place for years, as we remain in a physical body for sixty plus years and remain relatively satisfied with the weather of this dimension.
Some similar places have continuously light like when there is a cloudless night during a half moon phase or near the Arctic Circle when the sun appears to tilt south. Can one be content with that for years?

Dusting of the Temple within!
And so it is!
The significance is not so much that this yogini has this desire, but rather her disposition towards it or any other instincts or attractions.
The question for an inSelf Yogin is to address what within their psyche or subconscious personal field of existence is leading them to undergo certain acts or experiences.
In that sense, activities or involvements are not for the generic learning experiences in order to apply acquired lessons to future ventures, but rather opportunities to delve deeper within oneself in order to realize what makes one tick and how is that taking place, by which mento-psycho-emotional mechanisms are we moved into activities.
The inSelf Yogi is ultimately concerned with tending to that internal garden and addressing the usurping snake that is the master puppeteer, so long as one is mesmerized by the enjoyment factor of the experiences, and compelled by the instincts towards further engagements. That sacred temple of the world within the psyche should be the object of the attention and endeavor, not the externalities whether they are linked to from within the physical realm or the subtle.
