Background
Ascension can be reached through wisdom and mental discipline rather than technology. Most ascended Ancients follow a strict rule of non-interference in the lives of lower beings, while outcasts like Oma Desala help others reach it; she guides Daniel Jackson to ascend in season 5 and once, by mistake, Anubis. The Ori are ascended beings who break the rule entirely, feeding on worship.
