I do believe that there are Yogis on this planet who have the answers to all these questions and more, based on their own practical experience.
And there are teachings which also provide answers, even if for most of us these teachings are just working hypotheses in the absence of direct knowledge.
And I have no problem with such answers not fitting in with current thought and belief. For me, most current thoughts and beliefs are suspect, so the fact that such answers do not fit current thoughts and beliefs does not mean that these answers are invalid.
Peace.
