A time I was in a cave-like situation was when I was in highschool. Everything was so easy for me then. All my basic essentials were provided with ease. I went to an all girl Catholic high school and I will admit that I was completely sheltered from the realities of the world. They did a fantastic job preparing me academically for college but coming out of the cave and entering the light was still a major shock for me. After graduating I moved out on my own and was hit head on with many responsibilities. For the first time in my life I was single handedly responsible for going to school, paying my own bills, taking care of myself etc. Being on my own made me ascend out of the cave I had been in for the past four years of my life. Now I understand what people were talking about when they would say that life was going to change so much for me when I left high school. When I talk to some of my friends who have not graduated yet I can see that they really don't get what I am talking about. They have not experienced what I have and until they do they probably will not understand. Sometimes I miss the cave and wish I could rewind time. But then I look at how much I have grown and matured and I realize I like being out of the cave.
Researching and experiencing the place I have chosen can be considered "ascension" because I am learning more and more each day. Not just about the place but about myself and how I personally view my surroundings.
