Have you done any of what you speak of?
And what's wrong with right now, just as it is?

Obviously. Your body will be sitting motionless. But mind will be all over the place. Apparently you can send your mind back to your first time sexual encounter.
I would say that if your first instinct on achieving enlightenment is to revisit your first sexual encounter, you are:
a) Most certainly not enlightened..
b) Motivated more by perversion than by spirituality..
c) Quite a sad individual, if that's the limits of your imagination on achieving the keys to the universe..
Surely you can see that, right? If I were to achieve the ability to achieve lucid control of my etheric body so as to fly around the universe across all places & times, without restrictions, then just about the last thing I'd want to do is relive my first fumbling, brief, somewhat disappointing sexual encounter. Why on God's green Earth would that be the first activity you would consider either important or worth reliving?
In anticipation of your inability to provide justification - or, in fact, anything of sense whatsover;
FITO.

Some people compare the experience to taking heroine. ......... People do ho bongers after first attempt to awake gundalini in their body.
Firstly, any experience supposedly spiritual which is compared to mainlining heroin seems highly unlikely to be of any transcendent benefit in the long-term. If the gurus themselves are telling you that, then in essence, you are simply seeking a way to get high, rather than achieving anything of moral, ethical or philosophical/ spiritual value - and they are no better than drug dealers.
Secondly, from my own researches, I have found the activation of the kundalini to be dangerous & in essence, a doorway to the demonic. It is a manifestation of the unlocking of the spiritual powerhouse of our mind-body-soul amalgamation, and in itself it has no central value for the spiritual seeker. It's like hacking into an electrical sub-station & connecting your laptop to it, hoping for free juice. Instead, the laptop explodes & you lose all your work/documents. The activation of kundalini is the opening of a portal in your spiritual complex which can be inhabited by very dark & dangerous entities. The only reason it has been taught down the centuries is that for those who can achieve a measure of control over its operation (IE monks with a lifetime of training &/or knowledge of the fundamental mechanics of spiritual practices, such as astral projection). People in the West with no formal training or any of the original, fundamental teachings of the discipline can find themselves to be decimated by the overload of spiritual force which accompanies the experience. It has the potential to not only sed a person mad (by exposing them to the direct influence of dark powers & principles of imbalances in the mind-body-soul complex which should be managed & maintained by anyone having the portal in an open position.
Without suitably guiding the energetics of the experience, and warding against dangerous spirits, you can end up being torn apart by wild horses! People absolutely do become schizophrenic as a result of the inexperiences & ignorant opening of the kundalini channel. They can also be utterly formatted, becoming catatonic due to having their brain wiped when the 'serppent power' suddenly travels up the spine & explodes into the brain matrix. Similar negative effects can arise from attempts to 'open the third eye' - basically, all these complexes are necessary for a healthy spiritual life, but their deliberate manipulation can lead to unexpected & dangerous outcomes. It is exceedingly unwise for an unsupported Western individual to attempt either of these feats in isolation without a guru willing to train you for many years. The basic low strata mechanics of access to the physical universe & the astral plane are rooted in the structure & operation of these energetic 'organs' of the mind-body-soul complex, and in general there is no practical need for us to attempt mastery of them. Rather, engagement with ordinary religious practice within a left-brained, generally rational Western society, is a far more sensible concept for the development of the spiritual life. Leave conquering of the siddhi powers to those who are enmeshed in the Eastern monastic communities, and focus instead on the moral powers which are relevant to a positive, rewarding & comforting spiritual experience. Don't overload your connection to the matrix! In time, we each evolve to the point of spontaneous mystical experience, and when that time comes we jump into it all with joy - until then. be calm, be cool, be committed to the Golden Rule & to a humble quest for the truth. It's best to investigate opportunities for volunteering in the community than to tinker with the adbanced & largely non-applicable spiritual woo woo. Perhaps one day you will experience those amazing outcomes for yourself, maybe in your dreams. But keep on the straight & narrow in the meantime!

you seem confused, you talk about imagination, I talk about reality
The military apparently really had "spoon bending parties" but the goal wasn't to bend metal it's really a nice way to illustrate the power of the mind, something that can be quite eye opening to those having doubts about that. Because everybody can do it.

That sounds like a form of time travel.
Except that you are moving back in time in your own life.

well this exercise which is really easy and consumes little time sets you
up for further work, apparently you can notice a difference after 15 days
ultimate goal?.. progression through the levels of consciousness
to the higher self
That is good advice. Small detail though, break up posts into smaller sections. Walls of text get ignored around here.
As far as the subject: We only ever face ourselves. The darkness is ours. So is the light.
There are guiding forces along the path. Sometimes they need to show us our fear so that we can overcome it.
They are not good or evil. We are.
