You have completely lost me on your explanation on why older traditions are inferior.
Sorry if I lost you. I don't think old trads. are necessarily inferior, they just don't typically give results as fast as short lineages. That's all.
I’m either WAY less enlightened than you, or your explanation is far from coherent/linear/rational. I am also lost on how you are able to segway from Soma to extraterrestrials, especially considering that you seem to scoff at the former and give credit to the latter.
The point was or is: nature has memory, just like people. The more something is repeated as a habit, the more that memory is reinforced. When a memory is really ingrained in nature, it's easy to pick up. These memories fade over time, and they become harder to pick up. Get the memories while they're hot.
The "soma" method has evolved over time. We were just talking about the hatha-yoga-pradipika (on FFL). It contains practices for cultivating "soma"/amrita. My point would be, in this context, a newer practice like that would be easier to get working. Then one could look at older parts of this same practice, and through your spiritual practice, bring what was ancient into the present--through your practice.
Does that make sense?
