Kundalini as Cause of Behavior

I use a breath infusion practice which is known as kapala bhati and bhastrika pranayama. This allows me to infuse physical and subtle energy into the kundalini system.
When this is done sufficiently, kundalini gets surcharged and then moves in this way or that way from the base chakra. It then acts in completely different ways and doors of perception to the subtle and super-subtle existence opens up.
Kundalini behaves different when it is surcharged in this way, which proves that it is the driving force behind my survival behavior on lower levels. One discovery I made is that meditation only goes so deep when kundalini is not first infused.
=========================
It may be of use if one can realize that what we call kundalini is being experienced by us in terms of our particular social behaviors and personal habits. That might break the mystique of it.
Kundalini is involved in sex pleasure and in all other forms of pleasure which are routine for anyone using a mammal's body (including the lower animals). Kundalini is the factor which brings about puberty and full sexual maturity. And it is the same thing which scales down the life's activities in old age.
How to get a handle on it in any which way?
Some of its behaviors work in our favor and some do not. How can we compel it or induce it not to force the undesirable behaviors.
Perhaps we can notice that yoga when it is ashtanga yoga begins with yama and niyama which are really behavioral restrictions and approvals. Yoga therefore begins with a crude attempt to control kundalini's expressions.

I readily accept that kundalini is an intelligible energy force. But how does it whence charged participate in opening the doors to subtle perception, as indicated below?

Let's put it this way, when you have sexual intercourse in the orgasmic energy of it, the door of sex pleasure perception becomes wide open and then it shuts down as soon as the orgasmic energy subsides. People are mad after this sex perception and want to have it repeatedly.
They would imperil their lives morally for it. They would even risk getting a sexually transmissible disease for it.
So this sex pleasure is another feature of kundalini perception capabilities.
When kundalini comes into the head it pushes the subtle body into a higher dimension in which that body has supernatural perception. The reason why people have a kundalini experience and do not have supernatural perception along with that, is this:
They cannot use the supernatural perception even when it is available because they usually try to consider perception only in terms of how it is defined to them while using a material body. I mean how nature defines it to them.
The subtle body has the potential for higher level perceptions, psychic perceptions, supernatural insight but it has to be energized before it can experience these. Does one have to wait for some freak experience or one can go ahead and do kundalini yoga and cause kundalini to be aroused?

As previously indicated, there is comfort zone where one will be normally confined to. So some shock to the system can indeed help to so to speak snap out and venture.

So whence one is successful in raising kundalini, is accessing higher dimensions or accepting supernatural perception then a matter of faith/belief into the aforementioned?
