Symbols - What does heaven look like
Ascension
Ascent and ascension describe the symbolic ascent through the levels and layers – vibrationally towards the aether level.
Ascension can be via direct ascent and symbolic flight, via ladders or symbolic stairs, or it can be symbolically as a rather slow painful ascent in a spiral direction round your soul cone, often symbolically shown as a hill [or mountain].
Mircea Eliade – Shamanism Archaic techniques of ecstasy
It is such a cosmic mountain that the future shaman climbs in dream during his initiatory illness and that he later visits on his ecstatic journeys. Ascending a mountain always signifies a journey to the ‘centre of the world’.
