Hi Mary and all, Imho the hierarchy of the levels of evolution needs a little tweaking. Right now there is no coherent statement of how an individual level in evolution materializes. For myself I describe evolution as levels in existence. I use the Do, Re, etc., musical scale as the template for levels in existence. The half tones are problematic. Intellectual and social levels are also problematic in that I have great difficulty trying to isolate a social level that is prior to an intellectual level. Rather I see the social level as Fa the DQ only emotional level evolving from a Do (inorganic), Re (organic single cell), Mi (organic multiple cells) evolution. The flow from Fa an undefined emotional point of view to Sol a defined intellectual point of view is an evolutionary movement. Describing the social level to be metaphysically attached to an indefinable emotional level gives status to the conscious love within a family evolving to the conscious intellectual aspect of social, politics. Further evolution to conscious only levels to La higher emotional, and Ti higher intellectual levels puts teeth in the randomness of higher evolution. I have to earn it. At Ti evolution on earth ceases, in being unable to cross the half tone interval to a higher octave. Earthbound evolution is not the be-all and end-all of reality as esoteric literature describes values for higher beings like the Sun and Stars!
