More and more, better and better choices, toward whatever we want. Or think is best, depending on your proclivities.

Not that any of this science is exact, of course (it's all metaphors based on theories anyway!), just that it's an idea which, when held in the mind, allows for both stillness and a striving. It explains the fact that we are both enlightened and not enlightened at the same time. We must bring ourselves to be able to consciously allow the universe to move us until we can become aware of its movement. Cause it's going to move you anyway!
