Hi Ron, Well said, this is a Western paradigm, and is not necessarily that of the East. For on "reflection" it can be said that such patterns do not exist outside of our intellectual capacity. The intellectual level includes such intellectualization, but is of course not only that. It it were, the intellectual level would only consist of SOM. The intellectual level guides our intellect, but exists outside of that, in the same way that the social level is more than just a collection of individuals. If indeed MoQ is to achieve any form of spiritual rationality (as opposed to rational spirituality), then these patterns must be seen for what they are, and not for what they are intended to be. Cheers, Mark
