Evolution: Spiritual~Mundane
Evolution are two types. One is the type elaborated by Charles Darwin, which is sponsored and driven by material nature. The other is sponsored by deities who push energies into the material creation which cause us to aspire for a spiritual environment.
Material nature also sponsors the search for a spiritual solution to the problems of life but it does so as an evasive challenge and not as a solution to the problem. Nature does not require a solution even though it sponsor the search for pseudo solutions which simply keep the selves involved with material nature but with a pride in their idea of finding a solution.
The push from material nature have value, nevertheless. It should not be underestimated. One should not feel that it is useless. One should appreciate it and also see that it is limited and cannot actually be the cause for extricating the self from material existence.
However even though one should not get into the habit of condemning and ridiculing the usefulness of material nature, still one should break off from its supports, bit by bit, over a period of many lives, and get reliance more and more on the spiritual evolutionary impetus provided by deities and spiritual masters who show the way.
In our bodies the inspiration for liberation comes from those two powers, namely the material nature and the spiritual nature. Both are within the psyche. Both make the effort to inspire us to advance in one way or the other.
The influence from material nature is a downward-thrust towards the navel, where the energy we absorb from the environment becomes compacted and exerts an irresistible pressure for nutrition to be converted into reproductive energy.
The influence from spiritual nature is an upward pulling force, which pulls from the navel region upwards laterally. This energy is concerned with up-pulling the nutritional energy so that it does not form into reproductive force.
~~~~~~~
A yogi can gain some understanding about this when doing breath infusion, where he discovers the downward push of the compacted nutritional force which converts into heavy reproductive hormones in the physical system. A careful study is required to understand how this system operates and a more detailed insight is required to get the gist of how to dismantle it all.
Tradition kundalini yoga concerns something else but in advanced stages, especially in the siddhaloka places, yogis learn more advanced procedures which are fantastic when compared to the traditional kundalini rises through the spine into the head of the subtle body.
Traditional kundalini is where the breath energy pushes on the reproductive energy and mixes with it. This mixture is then thrust into the muladhara base chakra where it strikes the kundalini and causes it to move up through the spine.
That is one practice. It is the standard procedure which is time-proven in the lives of many yogis.
Another more advanced system is the use the breath energy to pull up the nutritional energy which is on its way downward and to also pull up any nutritional energy which already converted into reproductive hormones. This would mean then that there is no thrusting of breath energy and hormone energy into the base chakra, muladhara. Instead the whole system of having to deal with the reproductive energy is avoided because that energy is not formulated in the first place, or if it is formulated, it is not thrust into kundalini but is instead fragmented out, divested out back into an energy which loses its sex energy polarization.
~~~~~~~
The value of this other practice is that the yogi becomes conditioned to living in higher celestial places where there are no vulgar sexual entries between males and females. These places have relationships but without genital focus. There are pleasures in these places but it is focused for enjoyment in entire different ways, making genital participation redundant. Thus after passing from the body, the yogi will have the opportunity to go to those places, by virtue of the fact of having a subtle body which has energies which are compatible to those locales.
~~~~~~~
A question may arise as to why a yogi would do such a thing. The answer is that one needs to understand the various dimension and then the yogi, once he knows what is in each locale, can make a selection to live in a certain place hereafter in real terms on the basis of his accomplishment in changes of the texture of his subtle body while he was using the physical form on earth. It is possible to do this even though it is not likely that most yogis will accomplish this.
The pleasures in those non-vulgar sexual places may be experienced because it is part of the range of experience in the material world. One should achieve it so that one can size it up and decide if it is suitable to oneself as an existential preference. Each yogi should become informed of the various higher locales so that decisions can be made now about where one will transit to hereafter.
Sometimes even if a yogi has no interest in a particular place, still his teacher or deity may want him to be in that locale. He should comply even though it may not be his preference. There is no telling what a deity may require. There is no second guessing a deity or a yoga guru. A good student will simple be happy to go wherever the deity or yoga guru requests because the student has that trust just an infant has reliance on his or her parent, even in cases where the parent makes bad decisions which adversely affect the child.
Trust carries risks but so long as there are persons, there will be the need for trust. We should not decry it.
If you are doing the traditional kundalini yoga, then I recommend that you continue it until it is fully mastered. There is no need to attempt what was described above. This is explained to give information about your possible future, so that you would be sensitive if this is required by your deity or guru.
