Progress

[N]ew capacities are produced at the expense of old ones. The appearance of a new faculty is preceded by the inhibition of an old one.-- Tomberg.)Suffering as a Preparation For Etheric VisionThe course of religious development which has been generally indicated consists specifically in this, that man abstracts more and more from God, and attributes more and more to himself.-- Ludwig Feuerbach
To orient means to face towards, while progression refers to the advancement or unfolding of something. Progression is a neutral term that simply indicates movement, without implying a positive or negative outcome. For example, cancer and recovery both have stages that show progress. I’ll leave on that note. Further down the rabbit hole we go. Always remember to take it slow, in times of increased speed.

Expanding on the results of previous contributions I advance several hypotheses on the interaction of physical and semiotic processes, both in organisms and in human artifacts. I then proceed to employ these ideas to formulate a general account of evolutionary processes (cosmic, biological, cultural, etc.) in terms of concrete generalization, where, in analogy with conceptual generalization, novel creations retain antecedent features as special or restricted cases.

The necessary trouble of copying long letters, which perhaps, when they come to your hands, may contain nothing new, or worth your reading (so quick is the progress made with you in electricity), half discourages me of writing any more on that subject.
— Benjamin Franklin, 1747Teilhardian progress.Gerry Callahan I suggest the book, 'Progress', by Johan Norberg, in which he carefully offers objective statistics on the improvement in nine distinct categories of human welfare over only the last 150 years, all of which depend on an increase of 'spirituality' (as defined by Teilhard) and its necessary partner 'consciousness'. Both Teilhard and Norberg would answer your questions with, yes, yes and yes. If you don't have access to the book, please feel free to browse my summary, which can be found beginning with the post http://www.lloydmattlandry.com/?p=532.--- Matt Landrysome member of the { Teilhard de Chardin } Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/teilhardgroup/permalink/10157493949676326/
