You won't necessarily be a wizard.
What are you doing today?
>We're born to die, and for what?
I can answer that question if you'd really like to know.
If you do, here are the answers:
1. To die. You've answered your own question.
2. To emerge again in the cycle of life and consciousness, a hellish accident.
You see, a man dies, but life does not end until life ends. Like goes on, ever recycling 'dead' parts back into this horrific stream of living existence. In reality, the stream is what exists; you are a product of imposed limitations, a consciousness bound to a limited form, programmed to see itself as separate from all which surrounds (and enters) it. This is ultimately a delusion, but it's a delusion which is imposed upon matter by life itself, and there is an extent to which, so long as you breathe, it is a necessary delusion to your being. However, to recognize it for what it is is also necessary; it is a delusion.
When you die, you will not be fully immune to the cycle. Myriad forms will spring from the remains of your flesh, eventually, and those too will gain consciousness. Your best bet here it to try to ensure that your remains are sealed in something fully weatherproof somewhere that no one will find them. This will at least buy you some time away from the cycle, and you should perceive this as valuable; the longer that you are dead, the more relief you will have from this miserable agony which you call life.
However, you can also choose to apply your understanding of living subjective existence, this ever-flowing stream, to the way in which you live your life. Consider the fact that 2000 years from now, it is most likely that nobody will know you ever existed or care about anything you do today, and yet the actions you take today may still affect them. There are millions of people today who are in the exact same situation; their shadow looms large over the lives of all who come after, even if no one would ever be able to identify them. You shape the very waters of this river of recurrent consciousness. Should you decide to undergo the effort, this can be heaven, and no one will have to live like you.
