Re: Replacing sensual pleasure with a higher pleasure.
an anagami is not celibate, that's useless unbuddhist dogma. an anagami has both jhānas at will and is not a slave to sensual pleasures... yes, the bliss of jhāna is superior; but if you think about it as a "better drug"... you don't get it. also, someone can be a jhāna junkie but without ...

Re: Life on other planets
my immediate past life was in a habitable planet orbiting Pleione, in buddhist cosmology it is called deva namanarati.
