Most westerners think of Yoga as physical stretching and bodily activity but there are actually many forms of Yoga. It's actually an umbrella term for a group of mental, physical, and spiritual disciplines/activities/paths to attain "enlightenment". There's Karma Yoga (selflessness), Bhakti Yoga (devotion/seeking divinity), etc.... Some Yogi's will do a conglomeration of Yogic practices to reach the state they perceive as enlightenment and some will stick to one. Personally, and this is my subjective opinion, I'd practice a few different types of Yoga.

Generalizing extroverts as being self-absorbed may not be helpful. An introvert can be self absorbed, an extrovert can be self absorbed, a hybrid of the two can be self absorbed. I would stress that it is important to have the external influences, to deal with other people, because it is in the dealing and interaction that we understand the fruits of our being. That vitality to want to go out and interact with the world is very primal and a foundation of life experience.

To attempt to know the self without the external world, or interaction with others, would be like trying to grasp what your body looks like with out a mirror/reflection it's possible but without the external catalyst it is not very efficient to simply work on the self in complete solitude. Yet, generalizing whether an introvert has more potential for understanding than an extrovert, or vise versa, is missing the point that each person will understand deeper truths in their own and unique way.

There is no right or wrong end. Generalizations are misinformed because each person/entity is unique and each person will have a unique such point for "enlightenment". Balance is the key. If the body wishes to release, then release. This is the balanced way.

To overcome/ignore/reject/bury desires can have unwanted consequences. Overcoming a desire causes an imbalance. Instead, you should experience (in imagination or in the external world) the desire, understand it, accept it, and thus be in balance. By ignoring or rejecting the desire it remains and never actually is relieved or balanced. Sexual energy is very important arising from the lower or more primal energies - you could say it's a part of your "roots". Sex/sexual energy transfers can be used for positive spiritual work, for the opposite, or for nothing significant at all.

Infinity is an interesting concept to ponder - even though just placing a label on it distorts its true nature. Infinity is unity. There cannot be anything else other than infinity. There is only one of us here.

The term enlightenment is quite the conundrum as many try to place a description on it. The truly purified/whole/balanced person will have a transparent personality. Names, status, reputation, etc... pales in insignificance to their understanding - they are simply a humble servant allowing the work of the divine to flow through them and from them. They are no longer distorted but instead they become the true essence that they, and all else, are. The only reaction that would arise from such an entity to every situation would be love, as this is the true essence that creates, builds, destroys, heals, nourishes, and is everything. Namaste.
