Ouch, there is even one step further. This step is likely seen as fantasy by many, although some New Age ascension teachings might talk about it, I haven't checked that yet.
The last step is the overcoming of physical death. Christians talk about the Rapture as meaning being taken to heaven. I believe that the correct interpretation is the overcoming of physical death on earth! And that for example like in this Bible quote "dead in Christ" means us being limited by the veil which disconnects us from the Christ stream. And notice that at least in this Bible quote there is no mentioning of being taken to heaven:

Quote:"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words." - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
