Rebirth Tendency Foiled

It is one idea to say that one will not take rebirth in an animal body (humans included). It is another matter to state that one knows for sure that one’s subtle form no longer has the tendency to do so. Saying that it would not happen is no guarantee that it will not.

How to be sure?

Obviously one would have to check the subtle body to be sure that its tendency to be drawn into the process of developing physical lifeforms, is not present. It is not a matter of a willpower declaration or even a visualization process, or even pronunciation of an aphorism (mantra).

I discussed this matter with Yogeshwarananda, in the astral world, He said that it depends on the remove of two tendencies. The first is the sleep vritti stupor energy. The second is the curl-up tendency. Both are natural and cannot be removed by the yogi except by much austerity which directly targets them.

·       sleep vritti tendency

·       curl-up tendency

The solution has to do with mastership of pranayama breath infusion and unfurling the subtle body’s fold up tendency which becomes operational during the embryonic development stage.

Before you think that you understand this or that you do not need to follow this, please ask yourself about the details of how you became the present body as the son or daughter of this or that mother and father? How did that happen? Can you explain the details?

And do not be a smart aleck by declaring that you are not the physical body or that your guru said that you were brahman or atma or whatever or God even. That has nothing to do with the fact that currently no matter what you are tagged in human society with liabilities as the son or daughter of this or that parent. And you will be inconvenienced as the body no matter what you say you realize or believe. Face up to this. Let us have a discussion on this without escaping into liberation or self-realization land.

If you cannot recall how you were formed to identify yourself as this body, then obviously your process of realization lacks the insight. Hence your idea of how you will not become another embryo after the present body decays, may be wishful thinking and false self-assurance.

Pranayama breath infusion is the method for curbing, if not elimination, the sleep vritti energy which is concerned with generating new material forms. The yogi has to remove that energy from the psyche. It is located at the base muladhar chakra. It is hidden there in a sub-dimension which even accomplished yogis have difficulty discovering.

The curl-up tendency occurs just after one begins living in the mother’s system as an embryo. At that time, there is this force which causes one to lean over, whereby what would become the bony spinal column later, is merely a soft nerve which forms into an inward curve.

Yogesh gave a technique for unfurling this curl tendency. What happens it that when one is about to fall asleep, if one is alert in that stupor, one will notice that one’s head is bent forward and the spine is curled. This tendency should be thwarted by unfurling and moving the head upwards and backward to some degree. This is done regardless of what position the physical body sleep in. It is an action to the subtle form.

If this is done repeatedly night after night, in time one will notice that one has more astral dream recall and more clarity over all during the time when the physical body sleeps.

This would help considerably in avoiding the sleep urge which comes on the subtle body after the physical one dies. That would cause one to be elevated to higher planes of consciousness where the stupor energies are not present.
