1. The Tibetan's writing have absolutely nothing to do with Tantra.

2. As I stated on my website the quote from the Tibetan Master was given to show that Masters from other traditions recognize that there is a gap between the top of the spine and the medulla oblongata. So there was no reason for you to expect the Tibetan to mention kechari mudra. The statement was made because many kriyabans are unaware that such a gap exists.

3. I mentioned that kechari mudra has other functions beside bridging the gap. It is its functions in performing higher kriyas that make it essential to achieve before the higher kriyas can be given. What those functions are is a secret of the higher initiations. Apparently, the people you talked to did not know the role kechari mudra plays in performing the higher kriyas.

If one is doing the kriya of the Lahiri tradition, kechari mudra is not a take it or leave it choice.

4. Kechari mudra does have the benefits you mentioned. But there are others as well that you do not know and I am not at liberty to tell you, though I wish I could. Perhaps if you do some more research you can identify them.

5. A few years ago, I thought the same way you did until I learned why it was necessary for higher kriyas and that there really is a gap that has to be bridged. Most kryabans don't know about the gap between the top of the spine and the medulla oblongata.
