On the ideological plane, one can recognize what may be termed 'negative development' systems.  These are of a type that develop rapidly, but develop towards their disintegration and that of civilization.  One needs to distinguish these from what may be termed 'positive development' systems that lead towards periods of self-expanding renaissance for which there is no inherent limit.  One also needs to be able to recognize certain phase-changes in human development that causes a shift between the two.

One such phase-change was occasioned by the emergence of Christ Jesus at the end of the Greek Classical period.  This emergence had set up a whole new challenge, as well as a new opportunity for mankind, to recognize itself scientifically.  This particular phase change was so momentous that it even reflected itself in a phase reversal in the measurement of time.

We have in the second example a 'positive development' system unfolding, that is still active in bringing to light the limitless self-perfectibility of man on the basis of man's infinite nature, in the very image of God.  The grand capabilities of the human intellect, its creativity and discoveries, its morality and spirituality (if they are not impeded), literally demand a very tall estimation of the nature of man.  Christ Jesus spoke of all this as the truth and that he came to bear witness unto this truth.

While the Christ idea continues to slowly leaven the ages, so that man is increasingly participating in the creative development of life and its unfolding capability to spread itself throughout the universe, negative development factors emerge at the same time and cause constant retrogression that leads to poverty, crime, and war.  While the creative reason of humanity reaches out to develop the infinite potential imbedded in the nature of man, self-serving political motivations spawn ideologies that idealize primitive existence, primitive impulses such as stealing and murdering, that idealize industrial devolution, technological impotence, and physical poverty, as a virtue.  In these we find the nature of a negative development system.  Here, the development of the ideal leads towards termination, instead of expanding the human horizon towards embracing infinity in thought and in deed.

Whenever mankind encounters a negative development systems, once it is recognized as such, a reversal can be affected and the defective system be replaced with a positive development system.  The positive development system has historically enhanced the physical effect of the mental advances of humanity, which in turn made life easier for advanced mental development  This occurred throughout all periods of renaissance.  These positive developments are manifest in the creation of the nation-state and the modern cultural and technological civilization.  Negative development forces, in contrast, have undermined the metaphysical factors in creating resources for human living.  Negative development forces disrupt the mental to physical interface by means of superimposing irrationalities, as well as by organizational means.  These forces altogether serve the stated goal to eliminate the idea of a renaissance-based society that employs the power of reason for discovery and creativity, which inevitably results in the creation of physical resources by technological means.

While mankind sleeps, various mysticisms are thrust upon it with the aim to defeat the nation-state.  The goal is to eliminate mankind's technological culture on which much of the world's population currently depends.  Indeed the war has far progressed beyond this point, to the point that the essential infrastructures for mankind's physical existence have been progressively destroyed for which countless millions have already lost their life.

Since the metaphysical and counter-metaphysical forces contrast each other, both aspects need to be explored in the scientific quest for an understanding of the metaphysical potential of man.  It should be understood that mankind has long ago progressed beyond the stage at which it can exist on this planet on a primitive and purely physical platform, like animals do.
