Absolutely! I believe the Last Battle talks about ascension. As the children are tunneling to get back to the surface they repeat, "Inward and upward, inward and upward." And then the different realities experienced by the service to self dwarves vs the service to others children. I need to reread those books!
Perhaps I shall finally read this entire series. From dim recollection I’ve only read the first one MANY years ago, but reading now I’d almost certainly appreciate what is being communicated much more.
The series in this vein I truly love is Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Trilogy. It’s one of the few series, let alone books, which I’ve reread a few times. There were things he described in there which felt so ‘close’ and familiar. As a reader you KNOW he KNOWS. And they are so full of genuine Love.
I think you will enjoy the Narnia series. I love them, but I have been reading them since I was a small child. I have no idea how they will seem to someone new to them. But I do think everyone should read them, especially Timeline Jumpers.
My guess would be that you read The Lion, the WItch and the Wardrobe, as that's by far the most popular one. But it's not the first in the series. The first is 'The Magician's Nephew'. It's worth reading them in sequence.

Yes, I agree. It's about Ascension. C.S Lewis knew.
I reread those books about every other year. I'm ready to read them again too.
So am I! One of the first series of books I put on my Nook when I first got it.

His Dark Materials is a great series!
