I know this is a noob question but can u speed up bottle aging by increasing the bottle aging temp up? Currently I have a La Fin Du Monte Belgian bottle aging at 68 degrees.... If I increased temp to 75-78 would that speed the yeast to bottle age faster?

According to Brew like a monk, at least several of the trappist breweries condition at around 73°F. So you can probably rise to that from 68 without bad results.
Increased temperatures will cause your beer to age faster, but also differently; with more chance of off flavours.

I don't think you get to much off flavors by bottle conditiong at higher temperatures, unless your talking like 80 degrees. Fermenting in the mid 70's, definite off flavors, but bottle condidtioning in the mid 70's shouldn't be a problem.
