"Rather, how does one know the job is truly done?"
Good question. I just figure I'll know when the time comes. Death of the body seems like a propitious time to let go while holding onto core awareness. OBE's help in terms of practicing this detachment from the body. Recap, I think, helps to ensure to let go the compulsion to cling once detachment has taken place....though any practice of looking within to see where compulsion to cling resides would be effective if thorough, I'm guessing.
"what if the point is to be a circle"
I agree, but in an abstract sense. To be a circle, or ball of awareness that can cohere with or without human moorings.
I should just speak for myself, honestly. There are those who stay indefinitely, I know...who remain of service and "self entertain" as you say. More power to them.
