Kundalini / Full Trunk
Full trunk kundalini may be experienced randomly or even during sexual intercourse. People have described sex climax experience as being the most acute pleasure experienced. In contrast when doing breath infusion, one may experience acute bliss experiences which are comparable. Some may even by more compelling than sex pleasure experience.
While sex pleasure experience has a lust flavor to it, and may result in exhaustion and negative emotional overtones with mental and emotional depressive states of mind and feeling, kundalini yoga bliss experience is not accompanied with negative aspects if the yogi’s psyche had a higher energy surcharge during the arousal. That is the value of doing pranayama breath infusion and using that process to extract lower psychic energy from the psyche.
This concerns the type of energy in the subtle body. It is not about what is elsewhere. Even nature’s sex climax experience has to be sponsored by the hormonal energy which is in the psyche, regardless of what nature has outside the individual’s physical body.
First a yogi should infused fresh astral energy into the subtle body. He should remove pollutants and stale astral energy from the psyche. This will result in higher experiences of kundalini during breath infusion practice and the meditation which follows.
Yogeshwarananda left his material body some years ago. Then I used to see him every so often on the astral planes. Then for a time he used to stay with me wherever I resided. He supervised my breath infusion and meditation practice. After that I did not see him for a while because he entered the causal plane, where one is aware but there is not much happening and one cannot distinguish oneself from whatever else is there on the causal level.
After some time, after some years, when I did not see him, I kept practicing and periodically there would appear to me an instruction to do a certain process. This was from his subtle energy which was parked just outside the causal plane where he resided. Then again he emerged from the causal level. At first I wanted to ask him about why he left that place. Before I could do so, I got an explanation from him.
He said that this is how it is, where a limited being can only dictate so much to reality. One may stay on the causal level or in some type of higher transcendence for a time but not for all time. It is sometimes experienced that one wakes up to one level after being evicted from another plane. Duration of stay on higher planes may have an expiration date.
For some time now under his direction and also with help from Upamanyu Rishi, I practiced kundalini arousal in cells, zones and organs of the subtle body. This is different to doing spinal kundalini rises through the spine into the brain.
In one such experience, I observe how kundalini was using the entire trunk of the subtle body as a sparks bouncing chamber. Sparks of bliss energy would move to the inner membrane of the trunk of the subtle body. These would bounce back inward, never going through the membrane. This continued for a time. The entire inner trunk sparkled with light like a fireworks display on a dark night.
This gives a yogi some idea of what it would be like to live in a subtle body which is compatible to the ones used in the Maharloka celestial realm.
There is this stubborn idea that one will transition to a divine realm or state at the time of death of the physical body, and that this would be a permanent change. Mostly, this is a fantasy. It does serve the purpose of making the person feel that he/she will be secured hereafter. Thus giving a sense of confidence at the moment.
However this is hardly likely, that someone doing austerities and/or meditation in a human body today, will be permanently transferred to a higher/highest realm or to a higher/highest state? Currently there is no solid evidence to back such an idea except for citing others who were said to attain that or who said that they would achieve that after death.
A famous example is Gautam Buddha, where it is accepted that he attained the highest state of nirvana as he described that condition of existence. Supposedly he became a no-person and if he did then no one can even talk to him to find out what actually happened. And there are those from devotional sects who feel that people like Arjuna of the Bhagavad Gita attained the highest heaven. But in the larger source of the Bhagavad Gita which is the Mahabharata it is rendered that Arjuna went to a heavenly place known as Swargaloka which is not the highest heaven. It does not relate as to where he journeyed after going to that place.
Does it hinge on belief, that if I believe that I will go to the highest realm or state, I will go there. Can I ride there hereafter on the wings of my confidence in such belief?
