The GENERAL CONTEXT of such use is:
The term refers to those activities of mankind which are so directed toward the development of his/her civilization and the societies thereof, as to knowledge, technology, science, learning, lifestyles and so much more. Progress is usually "measured", in secularity, from the beginning of a civilization, which, in the current civilization, is from 9654 B.C., the period of the last great geophysically catastrophic event, the Gothenberg Double Event, which did reverse the geomagnetic poles twice within that 10 year event. In non-secularity, however, progress is "measured" from one civilization to the next or prior civilization, with all the "records" of such progress (AND of ALL the instantaneous activities of humanity) being kept in the OA/OWB's Hall of Records.
By such "measure" (non-secular), humanity is doing about "par-for-the-course", on average prevailing against tremendous odds. As the eminent evolutionary (Human Evolution, NOT Darwinian Evolution) anthropologist/historian Dr. Joseph Jochmans once said,

"Man has always remained essentially man throughout his existence. His physical appearance may have changed from age to age, but his capacity for intelligence, for the creation of advanced civilizations, and for the production of sophisticated technologies, has always remained the SAME. The history of man reads as the story of his constant struggle to understand and overcome the catastrophic forces in nature, in the cosmos and within himself, which have repeatedly destroyed man's high civilizations and technologies, reducing him to levels where he had to begin an upward development AGAIN and AGAIN. This cyclic history of continual advancements and destructions can be demonstrated through the geologic record as extending back THREE BILLION YEARS, to the very beginning of the known fossil record. Man has passed along the SAME road of civilization that we travel TODAY perhaps as many as a HUNDRED THOUSAND times before."

And such WILL be the case, as long as Satan's Veil of Separation influences mankind and contributes to the undoing of his/her progress across the ages. The only remedy is, of course, removal of that barrier. THEN human progress shall have more of a chance, with humanity in contact WITH, and in TUNE WITH, planetary AND Universal consciousness.
