If we are eternal then the end is an eternally long way off.
This depends on what you mean by "we".
The core essence of being is eternal and infinite, but has no identity or thought of "me" or "we".

We are saying our existance is eternal, but what holds us back from the other side will end. Obviousely death is our way to it now, but one day it wont be nescessary to do so. The wierd thing about meanings is they always have more then one side. It all depends on the eye of the beholder.
The center or "core" as you put it, has ability to be independant. Our needs require those lines of speration though, anything that might be allowing seperation of the core is negated by the need of our fears, wants, hatred, etc... We are given or take from it a line, making our conscious activity seperate from the core but still connected. The end essentialy will be the harmonious core, with lines of our returned consciousness as landmark for traversing. Not lines of impass like they are now, just more like one from the other.
