When growth does occur, as I have said, one of its attributes is that it generally is more inclusive.  The new outlook is able to explain more things than its predecessor.  These things which it could explain would of course be related to experiences in the physical world as well as the objects or processes which are found there.  Thus the diversity among the possibilities for experience represent the capacity for growth of the consciousness.  Again, I must point out that I am not discussing the learning of facts or even the categorization of facts.  I am addressing the rules by which we interpret those facts as well as how we interpret all facts and all experiences as a whole.          Growth of consciousness continues until it has a means by which it can account for the possibility of all occurrences which it does or can possibly experience.
