If I might add some thoughts, why would you need to 'be something else'? By which I mean, if all is one and your inherent nature is oneness, how can you 'ascend' from the one being you already are?
Does not 'ascension' imply separation, ie., that you are not one? Do you/we need to 'ascend' to become something you/we are not? If you are not this 'special thing' you want to be, then however can you change to become that thing?
May I suggest that only ego - that part of us which sees everything in separation - can have these thoughts. Ego is useful and necessary to live in this level of being, but chasing its thoughts too far is such a waste of time!
