Which is a bad thing, I guess, unless you are a mystic. Mystics actively seek this and arrive prepared for the dissolution of self.

Mashunasan tells of individual consciousness, group consciousness, world consciousness and primordial non-consciousness and maps these on the mythic world cycles. Incidentally this mapping does not correspond to the primordial elemental age progression Julian suggests.

Furthermore, not even mystics within the same culture, with the same teacher agree on these things (see the myth of the three sages), which speaks for their unknowability.
