Scholars and scientists say that the ascent of man depends on knowledge: the more we know, the greater the ascent. Knowledge is memory, past experience collected in the brain. Human beings are not ascending. They only ascend when there is no fear, and they have understood the nature of pleasure and desire. When there is love, there is a real explosion of the mind. It is up to you whether you want to break the shackles of time or live in it.
