Yogi meets guru in Astral Philippines

Last night my subtle body was drawn into a parallel world on the hereafter side of the Philippines. This was due to the influence of Arthur Beverford, my first yoga teacher while using this present body.
This is an example of what happens to someone who passes on, where the person continues existing in an adjacent dimension very near to this physical world, and there the person continues activities which are similar to those which were being conducted physically before the most recent body passed off.
Beverford Guruji had this idea that I should teach yoga in a formal way, especially asana postures which in the West is mistaken for yoga and is also mislabeled as hatha yoga. Asana postures are neither yoga nor hatha yoga. In fact asana postures are only the 3rd stage of yoga. Worse yet is the mislabel of hatha yoga, which is actually the kundalini yoga complete process which was taught by Mahayogin Gorakshnatha and which consist of the entire yoga system described by Patanjali with special emphasis on kundalini conquest by special kriyas or psychic actions in the subtle body.
In that adjacent dimension, Beverford was living in a fragile poverty-stricken house with other Philippino persons who were departed. Mostly he was teaching children the martial arts practice which he is a master off. We were in a small building which was made of very fragile materials like a type of cardboard. These were subtle materials which mimic the little houses which poor Philippines live in. There were about 10 or so children in the class of students whom he taught.
He did not say anything to me verbally but mentally he signaled that I should set up a yoga class for students. By yoga he meant asana postures mostly but he was interested if it was possible to single out anyone who could handle the aggressive breathing in bhastrika pranayama process for infusing the subtle body and driving kundalini out of its base chakra.
As this flashed in his mind, three Philippino youths walked in and expressed interest in learning the skill of this. One of these persons was one of Beverford’s sons who had to leave his body early due to a violent death in the Philippines.
The three youths were about 18 years of age in terms of how their subtle bodies looked. As soon as Beverford began teaching the infants in the martial arts process, these three youths disappeared. They had come because he pressured them to do so but they were not interested in yoga. In the back of their minds, were some images of some young women who were their lovers?
At this point I decided to take a quick look around to better identify the place and then I verified for myself that my subtle body was far away in the Philippines. The place even smelled like it does in the Philippines physically. Just after this, Beverford went to take rest and the little kids whom he was teaching also went to a sleeping area with him and went into their little beds. The place was not in nightfall because outside of the building it was bright with light which was like astral sun light but since in that dimension, one’s mind has influence over the climate, it turned grey dark in the sleeping area.
There were no cars in that place. It was all dirt roads made of a kind of peach colored clay. Everyone walked no one used any mechanical devices.
Then a few women came and told me to come for a meal. I followed them since they were instructed by Beverford to cook food for me. As I entered a hall and sat on the floor, Philippino style, there were no chairs anywhere, not even a table. The three young men then also returned to eat and were smiling.
The two women, the cooks, came there and put two bowls before me. I analyzed the food because I was suspicious of it. Food in the Philippines invariable has fish as a part of it, especially there is a special fish/shrimp prep called Bagoong. This is considered a delicacy in the Philippines but it is actually rotted fermented fish and shrimp bodies. However the cooks must have been instructed by Beverford not to present that. Instead they offered a split peas soup which had vegetables in it.
Soon after this I came back to my physical body which was sleeping in Florida in the United States.
This experience is vital in getting some understanding of the next destination, regarding what will happen when the subtle body no longer has this physical body as its address and it is left homeless in the physical sense and has to take up residence somewhere in the astral world, at least until it acquires another physical address which will be in the body of the father and then in the body of the mother, and then to be in its own residence as a new physical body, a live birth as a human or even animal infant.

Dean's question:
You have explained to us on this forum several times that the astral body does not need food to sustain it. How does astral food effect the subtle body of a yogi? And does it provide nourishment for those that are not yogis since they are still continuing as a physical being?

MiBeloved’s Reply:
People who are deceased and who have not taken another embryo are in astral bodies or they have gone beyond the astral existence into the exclusive spiritual domains. These persons are not continuing as physical beings but the ones who were materialistic in their last earthly life, carry with them an earth-oriented psychology which means that even though they are in the astral world, their mental and emotional profiles are that of materialistic beings.
It is experienced sometimes on earth, that when a person from a poverty stricken background is fortuned to live in a place of great wealth, he or she causes that place to look ghetto-like. In spite of the change in environment, the basic behaviors of the person from the ghetto may not change, resulting in a lifestyle which lowers the vibration even of a mansion.
A similar thing happens when persons become deceased where they manipulate the astral environment they find themselves living in, so that it mimics the materialistic life they had while they lived in the last material body.
Assuming for instance, that I came here from a higher dimension, then what is my condition now? Will I return to that higher place? Suppose I do return will I be able to stay there or will the behaviors which I assumed here override me when I get there and cause me to again descend to this level?
When I was in the astral Philippines, everything there was designed mostly by persons who were materialistic but not modern materialism. It was like materialism before the digital age, even before the industrial age. As such as allowed by the astral dimension itself, they were able to re-enact their lifestyle from before, especially the lifestyle which they preferred.
These were people that did not care to go into the industrial age on earth, what to speak of the digital one. They wanted to remain in the stage of civilization just before the industrial age took hold of the planet and forced people to use iron utensils and the steam engine.
The astral body has to have sustenance. When I say that it does not need food, I mean it does not need physical food. But it has to have some sustenance, which varies from dimension to dimension.
The astral body for instance is dependent on sun and moon energy. It cannot exist without taking in energy. In kundalini yoga we learn how to make it depend only on light and light energy, on waves of energy, like radio waves.
In India there are what is called the pinda rites. These are sometimes called death works, which is to say ritual acts which are conducted by the relatives of a recently deceased person. In these acts, food is prepared on this physical side of life. These foods are then offered to departed ancestors in ceremonies.
Is this all hocus pocus and mere religious belief? Can a person who is deceased eat the physical food which is prepared on this side of existence by a relative?
The answer is of course, no. But what about the subtle counterpart of the physical food? What can you say about that? So these pinda rites are conducted for the departed person who might be starving in the astral world, so that the deceased person can have the subtle counterpart to that physical food.
The subtle body does not have to take food like the gross body but if a spirit only has experience of how the physical body survives, that person will seek an astral place in which he or she can mimic the physical behavior.
It is a matter of shedding all the conditioning we have as physical beings and that is not easy to do.
In the first place what opportunities does a human being have right now to experience anything different? So unless we are having astral projection experiences and learning of new environments and new methods of sustenance, we are condemned to the physical one and when we pass on, we will set up in the astral world something which is similar to our present lifestyle.
Incidentally, I did not eat the food those two ladies prepared because it was too heavy. Even though it was astral it was very dense like heavy light or heavy radio waves. I could not eat it because it would have lowered the vibrational level of my astral form and caused me to perhaps be drawn into that lower dimension later when I would leave this present body. Beverford is staying there because he is a martial arts guru and feels responsible to help those souls to progress through the stage of survival-inspired aggression. I have nothing to do with that.
