Conspiracy in Yoga Practice

This morning’s breath infusion was great with emphasis on the lower brain sacral area of kundalini. This is a switch in kriya method because of the influence over my practice of Tibeti Yogi. Srila Yogeshwarananda came on the subtle side of existence and was showing happiness because I took Tibeti’s instructions seriously.
Yogesh said,
=========================
“Complete first steps of yoga. Master Prana. Then ask the yoga guru for help. What can the yoga guru do if the preliminary steps of yoga are done in a half-hearted manner? You do your bit; we do our duty to you. That is how it works.”
“Don’t cry about not getting assistance when you are not doing what you are told to do, when you want to make a new process for yoga. There is already an ashtanga 8-tiered process. Use that. Cease the efforts to change that into something else.”
=========================
The fact that after 40 years of practice I am now using this process of Tibeti shows that unless one gets help from higher yogis, one cannot complete the practice of yoga to the higher stages. One will be stalled and will not progress properly. I used to target mostly the upper brain which is the head of the subtle body. But that is not enough; one has to target the lower brain, the bastion of kundalini which is the sacral area. It is the same area that one’s head fits into just before being delivered from the mother’s passage. In fact for many months as the embryo forms, one is under the influence of this brain of the mother’s kundalini.

It is hell and high water to escape from the influence of kundalini.
There is a conspiracy carried out by the kundalini and there is one carried out by the buddhi intellect organ. Besides these two very different agendas, there is the joint conspiracy of the kundalini and the intellect organ. Considering this, what chance does the core self have to gain dominance in the psyche?
The buddhi intellect organ’s conspiracy is to keep the core self involved in sensual presentations which are essentially photos of what is in the material world. These are high tech photos, some are taken with a camera, some are taken with touch sensor, some are taken with a taste camera, some are taken with audio camera and some with a nasal camera. The buddhi’s conspiracy involves keeping the core self spell bound with the pictures which are shown to the core self in the mind.
Kundalini however is running another conspiracy all of its own, which is to lure the core self down into the lower parts of the body. The chief bait for this is sex pleasure but there are other traps.
Since they are involved in their own conspiracies, these two adjuncts have no interest either in each other or in the core self. The kundalini wants dominance over the psyche and so does the buddhi. Sometimes they work together but only because they have a common enemy which is the core-self. When they work together it is because that is the only way to intimidate the core self but besides that they work against each other.
Tibeti yogi told me that so long as one is partially disposed to the intellect, one cannot understand what kundalini is doing and one will never fully be able to curb that. It is also true that in some entities they are partially disposed to the kundalini, and for them they cannot curb the intellect ever.
One requires detachment from both adjuncts.
During practice this morning the brain of the kundalini which is the space in the hollow of the sacral bones, was targeted. It got to where this area was showing a clear space with all the old energy of it dissipated, melted away, replaced by fresh pranic energy.
