From the information at hand (that I have read from this site), would it be possible for the Imperium to recover from the Horus Heresy? (In thousands of years.....)

As referenced here: ''The Emperor is the collective reincarnation of all the shamans of Neolithic humanity's various peoples, the first human psykers. The foul Warp entities that would become the four Great Powers of Chaos had not yet fully formed when the Emperor was born on Earth during prehistoric times, somewhere in ancient central Anatolia (modern Turkey) in the 8th Millennium B.C. But even before the birth of the Emperor, as humanity grew and progressed, the Warp began to become increasingly disturbed by the dark undercurrents of humanity's collective psyche, and the shamans began to lose their former ability to reincarnate into new bodies. Instead, upon dying, their souls were being consumed by the entities and daemons of the Warp. Eventually the shamans of humanity, unable to reincarnate, would become extinct, and without the shamans and their psychic abilities to guide the race, humanity would inevitably fall prey to the corruptions of Chaos, just as eventually happened to the Eldar. In these ancient days, all the shamans of Earth gathered in a grand conclave to decide what must be done to stave off the day when they had all been consumed by the Warp.''

In this paragraph (taken from The Emperor of Man), note the bolded text. Since the Emperor is thousands of these "Shamans" shouldn't he be powerful enough to reincarnate, as they did in days of old? I personally believe this to be the case, and if the Imperium would disconnect him from the Golden Throne, he would eventually come back.

Yes, I know that Terra would be lost to Daemons and such, as evidenced in the same article. However, wouldn't it be better in the long run if this came to pass? There was nothing that could stop him until Horus accepted (whether he was tricked or not) Chaos, wouldn't he be the most powerful being (Non-God) that strode the universe again?

Just something I've always thought. Given the archaic way the Imperium looks at technology, it makes sense to me.
