1. The assemblage point itself is a non-construct of non-energy, so it doesn't even play by the "rules" of physics or even metaphysics. It is part of the unknowable, which is one reason we can only discuss it in somewhat vague terms. Point being, it cannot be destroyed because it is more like a hologram than anything else.
2. DJM's comments about being obliterated entirely... I continue to see this as a matter of the intent of the individual. Some seek to return to the source (nothingness, for lack of a better explanation), while others seek individuation. Seems to me that it may be possible to choose either/or.
Rereading some old threads.
On part two of this, this has always been a concern of mine. Both offer an 'out' other than being torn to bits in consciousness. The former, the return to the source, I do believe we would retain our awareness. We, however, would be One with the Source. Then its difficult to be an individual being in such a way, there would be no boundaries. All, I do believe, is gravitating that direction, no matter what we do, what we choose, cause our individual self, (say we pull off the ultimate audacity), is still going to go into that direction. The pull of the universe, and the source, is too damn strong for an individual, no matter how advanced, to resist. Eventually, all of it, will return in that direction, because of the rule of impermanence. So all we can do is, in the meantime, do the latter which is,
Stepping into the realm of individuality, it cannot be the same, however, as the 'human form' individuality that has deluded itself to seeing all as separation. That has numerous attachments to impermanent things. That which has also not done proper merits (ie 'karma.') For example, im not saying, one has to run off and do volunteer work, it can also be construed as 'selfish' if ones only interest is some heavenly abode to work with folks, which really is self-serving. If it *is* really about helping others, then its another deal. But the main way I see about dealing with ones karma, is simply like you've said before, following the 'right way to live,' and the whole gnosis, which offers power, in knowing what is 'right.' Like in the movie KPax where he makes that statement "Everyone in the universe knows the difference between right and wrong." Unless one has mental issues, in a deep knowing, one who has their mental faculties intact, knows the difference. The better karmas we employ, the more we 'touch the world sparingly' around us so we dont hook it up too terribly, apply a more gentle approach to our living, those things actually give us the strength to create solid doubles. They also help us filter out the 'noise' which can interfere with the communion with the double that we need to have - cause we really need to listen - to what the double is trying to convey. If we have a prayer - a shot - at making it thru, we have to be able to hear and follow the path with heart, to the letter.
Its tricky business, and the only way to defeat death.
