Ascension

Ascension generally refers to the process of rising or moving upward. In spiritual or religious contexts, it often describes the soul or consciousness ascending to a higher state of existence, enlightenment, or divine realm after death or completion of spiritual development. It symbolizes growth, transcendence, and reaching a state of greater understanding or closeness to the divine. While interpretations vary across traditions, the core idea involves progressing beyond the physical or mundane into a more elevated or enlightened state.
