Church of Progress =========

&quot;May progress be with you, in the expanse and beyond&quot;

= Creation =

Long ago the universe was an infinitesimal pixel. The universe burst forth in a large explosion, and three undeniable principals were born: Expansion, Consciousness, and Progress.

All of the principals built on each other, Expansion dictated the constant drive that pushes outward rendering chunk after chunk into infinity, Consciousness gave one the ability to recognize the expansion and to claim it as their own, and Progress was the driving force to build upon the expanse and to push further into the expansion and drive the render.

When the first sentient beings first took root on the expanse they built for themselves basic shelters, tools, and farms. But something burned inside them, progress drove them to reach for the skies, it made them yearn to explore further into the expanse. The sentients built higher and further and progress kept pushing them to further themselves. Progress pushed them to expand far and wide.

= Doctrine =

To believe in progress is to believe that all of us need to amplify the progress within us and do what we must to continue to improve our lives, our city, and our world.

Like a stream grows in power when joined by more, the sentients of progress become stronger when joined togeather. Like the holy city of Aeon, it started out as a small patch of concrete and more people came to the city and the expansion was unstoppable.

= Joining the Faith =

To join the faith of progress one must understand that everything is connected. Expansion give us the world, Consciousness gives us the knowledge, and the Progress gives us the drive to further the expanse.

When joining the faith of Progress one enters into a Consciousness that the expanse exists in its entirety, and the progress is the only enevitable outcome to build upon the expanse. One becomes a sentient of progress and your mind will open to the enevitable progress that will come forth upon the expanse in order to attain further consiousness.
