Siddhas Hereafter
A friend who is deceased and who comes to do kundalini yoga and meditation practice on occasion, informed me that it was not possible to be with siddha yogis hereafter unless one removes the dense mass of intestines or the remnant of that mass in the subtle body.
He discovered this when astrally he conversed with some yogis who moved in groups in astral dimensions where they used bodies composed of sunlight energy.
When I asked him about the recommended method for removing the intestinal mass in the subtle body of those who did not become proficient in hatha yoga as it is explained in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, he said that he was told that any method which results in the elimination of the vestige of the subtle intestinal mass would do. The argument about method has no meaning because if someone could do so by using mantras, prayers, chants of holy names, puja ceremonies, rituals, dietary adjustment, energy swaying movements, breath-infusion or anything else, that would do.
After this I showed him, from within my body which he entered, how the bulk of the intestinal mass in the subtle body is reduced to a small dried-up shriveled mass which looks like the dead dried body of a small animal who was found in the forest laying somewhere. That is removed by breath-infusion as far as I know.
Initially after repeatedly bringing kundalini up through the spine into the brain, a yogi, once sushumna nadi central passage is cleared sufficiently, turns his attention to the intestinal pass. He works daily using breath-infusion to remove this. It happens in the subtle body and there are health benefits realized as a result in the physical form.
After the mass is greatly reduced, then the yogi sees through the trunk of the body into the groin area but there still remains that vestige of the intestinal mass as a small compacted something. The yogi then uses techniques of cell-kundalini shattering to remove the mass.
If he is successful the entire trunk of the subtle body becomes cleared of dense astral energy. It is then experienced as a tank with light shining in a soft glow. This achievement means that the yogi, once he is released from responsibility for the physical body, can go with the siddhas. It is the actual condition of the subtle body that counts, not the belief or planned ideas of the yogi.
