I prefer to not chance there being no beyond, and thus focus on living this corporeal life as best as possible. That should carry on to the next, if there is one, right?

This POV doesn't include the ego. The ego or perceptions are just descriptions of the constructs. Our way of seeing and understanding ourselves and the world around us.
The deeper we go I do believe we will aquire pure awareness and maybe a lot more. |
The flip side of going deeper is the possibility of convincing ourselves more completely of what we've already decided, whether or not it reflects reality. I suspect that to be effective, going deeper also requires surfacing once in a while to make sure we haven't gotten ourselves completely lost.
