Do you feel it means that we were completely naked of our conditioning, personality, and defenses? Is ascension the rise of the son of God back into a state of 'nakedness' again?

There is no special symbolism in Adam and Eve being naked. They were naked because God made the body perfect. In the paradisaical conditions we would not need clothes just like all the animals. Clothes are not necessary. Our private parts would not need to be hidden. Notice how little children prefer going around without clothes, they have no shame. But when Adam and Eve sinned they no longer were perfect and now felt ashamed and felt the need to hide and hide their private parts. But don't most of us enjoy it when we have no clothes on when there is no one around where we would feel embarrassed or ashamed?
