A life that's bogged down, has become stifling, or has even started going backward. This bleak picture of life can be transformed, on a practical and provable basis, by a more spiritual view of progress. Though progress is often considered to be a series of physical, external events that can be measured materially or in terms of human goals, it is actually a condition of the life we find in God, infinite Spirit.
Christian Science shows that all true existence is spiritual. Man, understood as the creation of God, possesses and expresses the unlimited good that God has conferred on His own likeness.
Spiritually considered, progress is God's endless expression through man of His absolute and unlimited wholeness and goodness. Of course, God, being perfect and whole, never needs to become more perfect or complete, but His infinite understanding of His own individuality is always unfolding. As His perfect expression, man spiritually reflects divine Love's unlimited wholeness and individuality.
