Two points to ponder. Historically at least it seems that evolution just continues to evolve. So isn't it possible at some point in the future another level could evolve? And shouldn't a metaphysical system be flexible enough to handle that? Second doesn't the mystical part of Buddhism already claim that there is a transcendent experience beyond intellect?
