Mark: All these levels of increasing self-importance.? All that I hear is the Ego.? Perhaps a class in Freudian psychology will put you at ease.
Then again, it's good to think that somehow you are better than a rock, if that is what you need to give purpose. Andre: Hi Mark, Bodvar can speak for himself but I am sure that he does not mean what you imply (which is some statement to make). I woukd say: to each level her/his due. It is not 'increasing 'self importance' but increasing freedom from static conditions. The inorganic/ chemical 'automatic reactions ( according to the laws of physics), the organic 'instinctual' reactions to its environment ( Laws of the jungle) and, when we enter the social level it becomes tricky. More freedom to play around with at this level. Are there 'laws' governing social behaviour? I believe only to the extent they are biologically driven but stand to be corrected. The social level is very tricky and even Pirsig would admit to this only having suggested broad outlines of/for moral conduct. By the way, I do not consider myself 'better than a rock' , my ego is not that far developed. A rock is an inorganic PoV and a human becoming is an amalgam of all PoV's not fulfilled as yet. Cheers and now I'd better hit the sack.
