I wish well on your voyage through that territory, jafar. I'm sure it will serve you well to seek out these perspectives.
Mine is a somewhat different trajectory, and if you're interested, you can read below Q'uo's suggestion.
On the one hand is the additive process you discuss, and on the other there's also a subtractive process. In my view, the first leads to balanced neutralization of many-ness, while the other describes the opening up of that balanced personal consciousness to a further level of consciousness which is otherwise unnoticed.
PS: So whose is this jafar-peregrine monlogue, yours or mine...or is it of consciousness itself? If the latter, then the question remains, how may the individuated consciousness approach it? You say, through the additive process. I say, the one may lead to the other, and that may lead to the heart of consciousness which transcends the many.

When you have released this structure, you will find that you are as vulnerable as a tiny kitten, such as the one that is snuggled up against this instrument’s ankle at this moment. Only when you have become as a tiny child, free of the burden of your wisdom, can you at last break the bunker of self-consciousness.
My brother, how deeply and how truly you seek to do that! And yet how clever are the many, many thoughts and strategies that will gladly entrain your intelligence and distract your will. These forces within you do not wish for you to open your heart. They like having full pockets. They do not want you to empty your pockets of these things which, to the surface personality, seem to suggest selfhood. Yet there is a powerful voice within you that says that this is not true consciousness. And you hunger for that.
What is the “I” of a person and of a soul? When consciousness itself is the “I” of you, then shall your heart be free to open and blossom and radiate infinitely. And from that perspective alone shall you at last be able to march from the sanctum sanctorum, fed and strengthened, in full knowledge of who you are for the first time and ready at last to do serious work upon balancing the wisdom which you offered to yourself as a gift and as catalyst.
