AUTHOR’S PREFACE:  WESTERN CULTURE is commonly credited, by WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, with REMARKABLE ADVANCES in KNOWLEDGE and TECHNOLOGY that put WESTERN CULTURE in an elevated standing in World History.  Yet there are detractors, including indigenous aboriginal cultures that feel that WESTERN CULTURE is royally screwing things up. There seems to be evidence in support of both these apparently contradictory appraisals, and this essay explores how ‘this is so’.  “PROGRESS” is a kind of LINEAR PROGRESSION that can characterize all manner of ways in which WESTERN CULTURE social collectives are growing, developing and producing agricultural and industrial developments and production. At the same time, there may be CONJUGATE LOSSES in the health of the Wilderness that is being exploited to make possible the impressive GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.   The RISE OF INDUSTRY and the DECLINE of WILDERNESS is a conjugate QUANTUM LOGIC balance measure found in the one dynamic of TRANSFORMATION.  In the WAVE-FIELD reality in which we are included, it is relatively simple to make measurements of the MALE ASSERTIVE changes that are LOCAL and EXPLICIT but far more difficult to make measurements of the CONJUGATE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING that is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT; e.g. the holes in the ground where ores are being extracted for smelting metals and the sand and gravel extracted for concrete construction, the gaps in the forest where trees have been taken for lumber, and these HOLES are the FEMALE CONJUGATE that goes together with the MALE ASSERTIVE dynamics of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, to jointly comprise the complex conjugate dynamic of TRANSFORMATION.

While WESTERN CULTURE ‘reality’ is commonly expressed in such terms as GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, these speak only of a BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY which DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING HOLES that are CONJUGATE to the MALE ASSERTING DEVELOPMENTS, and it is these two conjugates together that constitute the SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMABLE reality of TRANSFORMATION.   There is a PITFALL here in that a single-minded focus on PROGRESS as measured in terms of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION within the SUBSTITUTE REALITY “IS DISTRACTING US” from the REAL-REALITY SENSE-EXPERIENCE of INCLUSION IN TRANSFORMATION

PROGRESS is a LINEAR-IN-TIME IMPROVEMENT IN “OUR” (HUMAN) LIVES, usually in the sense of STREAMLINING THINGS FOR US HUMANS; e.g. we lay down FREEWAYS that disturb the lives of snakes and many other creatures.  In general, this word “PROGRESS” is highly ANTHROPOCENTRIC and I have to be careful with my language here because Modern physics would have us understand that ‘everything is related’ within the ONE WAVE-FIELD also known as ‘the Tao’.
