We have this ideal in our culture of always rising. We are oriented to rising, toward success, to being capable, always in control, never defeated. So we have been given this ideology of ascension as if ascension is the proper direction in spiritual life. There is a dynamic tension between the ascension which we commonly view as spirit and the descension which we could call the soul. And we need both, without the depth, our lives are lived on the surface.
