I was thinking of transcendence in many ways - certainly not limited 
to religious transcendence. We have many folks in this book 
transcending all sorts of things from sexual limitations to time and 
space. I think some may even transcend religion.

Does ascension, if it keeps on going, eventually go in an arc (like 
following the curve of the/a universe)? How about transcendence? 
What is the difference? Ascendence goes up and transcendence goes 
through? If the universe is a sphere(s) does transcendence 
eventually go in a horizontal arc? Descendence goes down, 
obviously - and there is some of that, too. I don't think there's 
any arc involved there - except perhaps the reversal of the ascension 
arc. Are there any other ways one can "scend"?
