''A more and more harmonious creature"...?

Question

Dear Everyone,

I’d like to express that with a particular activity, we can become a more and more harmonious creature.

I’m not sure the above wording is right, though. Maybe I should use ’’in harmony” instead, and/or some other verb or noun.

Could you, please, help me and say how I could formulate it well? Thanks!

Hi,

If you say 'in harmony', the listener needs to know 'in harmony with what?'

Anonymouswith a particular activity, we can become a more and more harmonious creature.

I have a small problem with pluralizing this.
(Perhaps if you were to specify the "particular activity" in a full sentence, my problem would go away.)

"We can become more and more harmonious creatures" sounds to me like you hope to improve all mankind.

But you don't start out that way. What's your intention?

Suppose you replace the subject pronoun "we" with "one," or "you."

With a particular activity, you can become a more [and more] harmonious creature.

Are you talking about "self-improvement" or improving the race?

I understand that the plural is possible: By doing X we can improve ourselves.

Best regards, - A.
