We're talking about soul retrieval here.
Arn't these soul fragments that need to be put back, like a jigsaw of our
huge hearts.
The mind views and judges the fragment as friend or foe, more often foe
unfortunately,
but the heart does'nt care, it only knows this is a long lost son and wants
to return
home as soon as possible to be whole, to be complete. The fragment needs to
be released by
bathing it in consciousness and then it can be returned home. That's why to
act unconsciously here
through fear can be dangerous as you'd be highlighting the split in your
Self and widening it.
When Muktananda rejected his sexuality through visions, I believe this led
to his problems with his
sexual conduct later on. He fought and wrestled if I recall correctly.
So you need to transcend the experience by not judging the vision, accept
it.
It may help to see beyond the dirt if possible to what's underneath although
I don't
think this is necessary. Bathe it in the light of consciousness and let it
return
home, become whole, and relax knowing that you've finally accepted yourself.
Instead of desiring to be someone else, you've accepted yourself because
desire is
part of the egoic mind, acceptance comes from the heart, your accepting
yourself through
yourself.
>From one perspective, desire itself is tested through the process of soul
retrieval and as the K
pierces each Chakra, this is what is happening, ultimately resulting in your
complete Self.
== Note == I'm using terms heart and Self to mean the same.
