Use that rich and bountiful imagination of yours to visualize every human on the entire planet having absolute confidence in an irrefutable guarantee that all they have to do is find a quick and easy way of gently exiting their body and they will find themselves birthed and awakened into their true and ultimate form.

Would you anticipate mass suicide?
Don’t turn the question back at me. What do YOU anticipate?

However, all models that posit a realm as you describe also claim that it is only within this life where one can impact on reality, to do and achieve.
Greta, you have got to be kidding me, right?
After all of my incessant posting of a theory that suggests that we are each imbued with a “seed-like” potential of eventually being able to create our own universe out of the inner mental fabric of our very own being, you nevertheless say that “ALL MODELS” of the realm I am describing posit the ending of “doing” and “achieving.”
Now I am in no way implying that my theory (my “model”) cannot be woefully delusional and wrong, but can you at least make an effort to understand where I am coming from?
Now getting back to this “impact” business:
It is not incumbent upon any of us to make an impact on this reality.
As far as I can tell, there are only two things expected of us.
The first one is mandatory (as in we have no choice in the matter), and that is...
1. Receive the gift of life.
And the second one is optional (as in it is entirely our decision), and that is...
2. Be a part of the process and workings through-which life is given (as in bear and raise children).
Everything else...
(assuming that eternal life in a higher context of reality is actually true)
...is nothing more than filler and entertainment until the event of death.
The point is that after we are born out of our bodies and literally born out of this universe, we are no more expected to make an impact on this reality than we are expected to make an impact on our mother’s womb after being born out of her.

Knowing all this - both the joy and relative impotence of "the other dimension" - then humanity could live their lives and make what they could happen, shaping reality as they thought right, confident in the fact that a happy ending was in store for all.
Are you implying that humanity would be so unimpressed with the sky literally opening up and revealing the truth of our ultimate form and eternal destiny that we would simply brush it off and carry on as if nothing has changed?
As an addendum to my earlier thought experiment, let’s imagine that right within your own home, perhaps right next to that drum kit of yours, there exists an open “doorway” into the next dimension.
Do you actually believe that even though you could literally see the amazing context of reality we’ve been referencing, along with the knowledge that you can pass through the “doorway” and lay claim to your fantastic destiny whenever you so desire, that it would not impinge upon your every waking thought?
Do you actually think that the turnings of the cogs and gears of the earth’s human societies...
(i.e., the divergent religions; the false assumptions of materialism; the arbitrary divisions and hierarchies upon which societies are formed, etc.)
...would not come to a screeching halt?
If you think that life would simply carry on as normal, then I suggest that you have failed miserably in applying critical thought to the issue.
