Taking help from more advanced entities, being open to their influence and ideas, knowing well that they have nothing to gain from a beginner but have much to give to a beginner, serves the purpose of attaining liberation from the massive ignorance which happens to be our existential condition at present.
A person cannot make advancement without personal effort. Unless one is willing to walk away from this social situation and get totally involved in self reform and self upliftment, even the Supreme Being cannot do a thing to help one but all the same if one makes the maximum effort and exerts the self to the fullest to side-step lower consciousness, one will not be successful without taking help.
Patanjali made it clear that there has to be a reliance on the Supreme Person who was the one who helped the ancient yogis, people whose attainment are legendary if we read of their existential conditions in the Puranas and elsewhere.
These ancient yogis did not have computers. They did not have ipads. And still their accomplishments are tremendous when compared to our puny endeavors and phasy in-and-out trance consciousness. Still these persons took help from others.
When giving lectures about the life of Gautama Buddha, people like to stress how he rejected all the teachers whom he first took when he entered into renunciation of social life but they fail to establish, that he took help from those teachers and got to a certain point. Initially he was not versed in any of the austerities of yoga, but from each of these teachers he learnt certain methods and then after passing through their process and getting from it what he could, he went further. This does not mean that he did not take help or that those teachers were useless. So one must take help from teachers even if those teachers do not have the final process and even if at a certain point one will have to be a pioneer.
But Patanjali said that there is a Supreme Person who taught the ancient yogis. They were taking help from someone. It is either that a particular yogi is the Supreme Being Himself or is one of the Supreme Person’s parallel divinities or that yogi will have to take help from the Supreme Being either directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowingly.
Consciousness is vast and it is certainly outside the purview of the limited selves even when such self attains an enlightened state which to them is everything. Thus there is no question of doing it all by oneself.
This morning while doing exercises, at the very end of the session, near the last infusement, I saw Swami Muktananada, a noted modern siddha who is now departed. He smiled and then sent some energy from his subtle form into mine. When I looked at it, it was an expression of some kriya processes which he perfected while he did austerities before he became a famous guru in the West.
It is possible for a yogi to send an energy into another person’s psyche as a contribution to that person’s spiritual progress. Sometimes such energies do not stay with the student yogi, because the student might not be proficient enough in practice to retain the energy. Donations from great yogis are a god-sent in some situations when a yogi is hustling to make progress but just does not have enough forcefulness and directedness in practice.
The energy from the Swami mixed with another energy which was in my psyche which was put in there by a Buddha Deity in South Korea. It concerns having the ability to infuse the subtle body even if the kundalini is dissipated out of it.
The passage of sushumna nadi spinal tube remains in the subtle system even if kundalini is dissipated and that passage is used to infuse energy into the subtle body directly with prana without even the kundalini charge.
If for instance we remove a man’s physical heart, then we will have to put in some sort of mechanical pump to continue the function of plasma distribution. So if the yogi is successful at wiping out the supremacy of kundalini, then he has to infuse the system with subtle energy and he can use the same routing or conduits which were used by kundalini.
So that was the kriya which Swami Muktananada put into my body.

Beautifully described and written. What a cool experience to have and to have the inspiration and assistance as you labor solidly forward on the spiritual path, which is a difficult one. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. The way you describe the infusion of energy from Swami Muktananda and the South Korean Buddha deity was easy to understand.
