In Metaphysics it is essential to use analogies of real, or agreed on subjects. For MoQ, RMP has provided us the levels and force of evolution. However, at times these levels are not sufficient to provide readers an adequate picture. These levels, hierarchies, and disciplines they relate to, are provided below:
Intellectual Concerning the workings of the mind, such as in Metaphysics Social Those pertaining to Social Sciences Organic Those pertaining to Biological Sciences Inorganic Those pertaining to Chemistry We can see from this that it is a mixed bag. The continuity is provided if one takes a systems approach for all but the Intellectual. For this reason, I often use a different analogy of levels. I present these from the "bottom" up. Particulate Complex Personal Social Aggregate As can be seen, this is also a systems approach, but it is more consistent. The Personal is our particular consciousnesses. The aggregate can be anything from planet earth (Gaia), to the universe at large (Cosmos). I then propose a sixth level which encompasses everything in an active manner. I will call this the Expressive Level. This could also be called Quality, or Will, or Intent. All Other is recognized through expression. When we see a tree, we see "tree-ness" and not a tree. That is, we see the expression of Tree. As humans we view each other through our expressions. This is true with all things. In this way, we are an embodiment of Expression, as is everything else. To the beginner, this may provide a better understanding of what Quality may possibly be.
