Let me see if I can pick out the questions from this.
1) The idea that the self finally dissolves into the Divine is a belief of some mystical traditions, but it's not supported even by most mystics. It's more a matter of realizing that you've been a part of All That Is all along; you don't stop being an individual, you realize what "being an individual" doesn't keep you from being part of the All.
2) Everyone in this life wave will achieve the summum bonum when they get there. There's no fixed time frame. You have all the time there is; have fun.
3) I dunno, I suppose some of us are just curious. ;-)
4) Good heavens, yes. I've done it weekly at certain times in my life for years at a stretch. I know other occultists who do it several times a week. It's potent stuff, but well within the reach of anyone who's learned to do serious ritual work.
