The self is never annihilated, if that is what you are afraid of. Also, undistorting/balancing yourself as an entity doesn't lead to being harvested out of this incarnation unwillingly. What I guess I've learned from the archetypes is that as one makes a choice, and sticks to that choice, that the veil is penetrated further and the desire for service in the chosen path intensifies. Do you feel you have committed to a Choice? It doesn't matter which one you make, but progression to higher sub-octaves of our reality requires making a choice (and thereby sacrificing the other choice). This is one of the overarching lessons of the archetypes that I see.
If you are thinking that as you become less distorted you become less of the unique you that you are, I think that is incorrect, too. Seth has an analogy for this: We start as babies. We grow into children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, and continue to visibly age from there. Are we the same person as the baby, adolescent, etc? Yes. Do we contain a single iota of material beingness from that younger, smaller version of us? No, each cell has died and reborn innumerable times. We are different from our younger, earlier selves, but specifically a product of that earlier self. The child has not been annihilated, just transformed.
