The two adjuncts in the psyche which are the most important to reform and redesign are the kundalini life force in the lower trunk of the subtle body and the buddhi intellect orb in the head of the subtle form.
If these adjuncts can be reformed the profile of the living being would be changed for the better. As they are designed by nature, these adjuncts work in the interest of nature while using the core-self as a power supply. The core self is not the only source of power. Nature itself is producing power to run the psychic organs but that power is not enough. Initially it lacks directiveness. The power from the pin-point infinitesimal core-self has value in that it is not just raw power but directive power. Material nature is also power and it has a directiveness of its own but only after it is activated by the directive power of the self.
The spark in an engine cylinder might help to illustrate this. Once the car is started, the spark fires now and again just to keep the energy from the gasoline ignited. The power from the spark is not the same as the power from the gasoline. And yet, even though essentially the main power comes from the gas, that power cannot be utilized if there is no repeated spark.
The core-self, individual spirit, provides the initial directive power and then material nature, like the gas provides the basic quantity force to keep the operations going.
Until a yogi can redesign the two adjuncts, the intellect and the kundalini, he or she cannot successfully overcome material nature. Talking about it, does absolutely nothing to control these psychic powers. Mantras are merely entertainment to these powers. A direct assault on their territory and a confiscation of their primal rights is required by whichever means causes that.
Just think of it that the core-self is supposed to be in control of these adjuncts and still it is using mantras, visualizations and all sorts of indirect nonsense methods as if it were afraid to command these adjuncts directly. This is just like a mother with an unruly toddler. Does the mother have control over the toddler or not?
Can she regulate its behavior or not? Does she have that authority or not?
Why is she singing lullabies which the kid ignores?
Why is she dreaming up new types of candies to bribe the kid into good behavior?
===============================
The plain truth is that the core-self woke up in the material world and discovered itself as a captive of the material energy. That is how it all started. It did not start with the self in control as many sympathetic philosophers proposed.
If you are born as a slave, telling yourself that you were originally free is not going to help the situation but it might make you feel better in terms of your self-esteem.
