To be an expert at magic is to be an expert at controlling your mind. Throughout our careers, we put ourselves through states of mind not normally possible for the conscious human. We walk through our dreams with full awareness, view visions otherwise available only in the mindless stupor of a drug, and fight off our inner demons and delusions all to live a life that a 'normal' person would consider insane.
If we wanted to, we could go off the deep end and never come back. What if you could retreat into your mind completely, become catatonic. Your body gets shipped off to a ward where you get fed and analyzed while you live oblivious of reality's boredom, happily doing whatever you want in your personal mindscape.
Look at what you really want. Would you forsake what we call the real world to become the god of your own?
I don't care as much about reality for its own sake as most people. There are times when I might, but this annoying little human emotion called "love" comes along and keeps me here. Cute, no? ^^

I have actually read that there are some yogis that actually go into a state like this, where this reality has no affect on them. They are cleaned and fed by their followers. This state is the one-ness with Krishna, Krishna COnciousness. They become part with G-d as they return to the source.

Well, make me a ward of the state...I'm going astral
Well, if anyone is contemplating Suicide then I think this might be a valid idea, otherwise it's likely not a goal that most people would have. Even if it were I don't think many could actually accomplish it.
It's not really evolution if your physical body still needs to be maintained, higher consciousness or not.
