Excerpt from Revelation, Mythology, Correspondences 2. One demonstration Of this is afforded by Progress itself: by Progress or forward rapid movement which is considerable in this age and cannot be ignored. There is a dark spirit accompanying the progress; a spirit of pride and self-adoration which is hostile to the spiritual and moral elements and conditions on which truth leading to good depends. It is a subversive spirit, and leads to a fall, and a progress in falling. Now indeed it can only lead to individual and national decadence; but that is terrible enough. The Redeemer and Saviour has the future in His hands, and His Church is secure. But the creed that the race is necessarily rising to more excellent life by its own progress is at war, in the votaries of this creed, with whatever can be done for.
