Ascension means to die and be reborn again. It is a perfection, a purification that happens both spiritually (the "I" / ego dies through spiritual work) and physically (your body dies). After that, you are immortal and do work in / from the heavenly realms.
Personally I think Q meant the Island, but you made a good point.
If Q means Ascension as in "to die and be reborn again" then Q is probably not talking about individuals. Q likely means the USA dieing and being reborn - i.e. going back to the original Constitution.
You don't want your "I" to die. That's the you part of you. You just want to perfect it. Become less dense so you can rise. If you destroy your ego, you become a non-ascending NPC.
