IMO, a movement away from materialistic living towards spiritual living.

>2. By what outward signs would you recognize "advancement"?

See my picture on the website [joke].  I think it is easier to see the
lack of it, usually manifesting as vaious sorts of "power trips"

>3. Do you need to *be* "advanced" to recongize "advancement"?

Seems logical, but we would only recognize others close to the level (?)
we had reached ourselves.  An important question is "What is the unit or
method of measurement?"
