"The idea that an individualized consciousness less than the whole should exist for eternity seems arrogant and stupid to me. Everything was once stardust and before that...who knows??"

This presumes that consciousness is bounded in physics. Of course, anything bounded by its temporal existence would cease to exist when the physical component no longer accommodates it. Kind of a physics zealot view.

In my personal experience there is way too much going on to assume such limits. In fact, I suspect there is more illusion related to physical limitations than fact...ouch...sheeees, OK that really was a wall. I can't prove any of this though.
