The self
The self is merely a locus in which the dance of the universe is aware of itself as complete from beginning to end—and returning to the void. Gladly. Praising, giving thanks, with all beings.
-Thomas Mertron
I have posted this before because of the dash used here, but now I suspect the meaning of the whole paragraph.
My understanding now is that the self is something like the fluctuation of the universe that is arrogant enough to consider itself complete one but it ends up gladly knowing that it is merely the void. Do I understand this right?
Well I'm not even sure if my question makes sense.
Any comments will be apprecaited!

Thanks a lot Mister Micawber and John!
By the way 'is aware of itself as complete from beginning to end' means consider itself as complete one, something perfectly made (without any need for more work)?
