Progress, impelled by divine law! Operating with certainty. Fundamental to man's existence. All because God has no limits.
Principle is endless. Perfect Being is infinite. Its reflection, man, is unconfined in the expanding expression of perfection. But spiritual sense alone is capable of grasping the significance of progress within the realm of perfection.
Man is immortal. A mortal is not man. He is a misstatement of man, a collection of assumptions resulting in the notion that man finally deteriorates rather than progresses. The divine criterion for progress is the expanding recognition of God's eternal goodness and of man's perpetual, unfolding representation of that goodness. Finite sense defines progress as an endless process of encountering and surmounting obstacles—bringing the problem to a close, concluding it: being rid of fear or depression, stopping pain, getting out of debt.
