In the Yoga does the ascent take place first or the descent? I can sec that I was not wholly fixed on the higher plane.

There is no fixed rule in such things. With many the descent comes first and the ascension afterwards, with others it is the other way; with some the two processes go on together. If one can fix oneself above so much the better. I have explained to you why it did not happen.
