The New Measure of Advancement
By the middle of the Thirty-Eighth Movement, a civilization was considered "advanced" only if it could answer yes to these questions:
Do you understand yourselves honestly?
Do you respect different paths of growth?
Do you support awareness rather than control?
Do you allow others to evolve in their own time?
Do you contribute something valuable to the whole?
Technology, strength, and intelligence still existed,
but they were not what determined value.
The only real measure of progress became:
How much clarity does a civilization add to the universe?
The Beginning of the Next Question
As more worlds joined the network of learning, something unexpected happened:
Reality itself began to change faster.
New forms of energy appeared.
New dimensions opened.
New potentials became accessible.
But none of it happened because anyone forced it.
It happened because consciousness everywhere became more open and more aware.
