In the SOM reality any notion that comes to MIND seems to be intellect, the Ancients' notion of lights in the sky as gods/goddesses were ancient intellect, the Australian aboriginal animist world-view was aboriginal intellect ... etc. this makes absolutely every "interpretation of experience" into intellect. But this is wrong, intellect is the ability to distinguish between what's objective and what's subjective so my dictionary says (with a little help) In other words INTELLECT=SOM. Every possible indicator point that way. OK, you only said that the MOQ belongs in the intellectual level, but if my assertion of intellect=S/O holds, then the MOQ which is D/S (dynamic/static) is NOT an intellectual pattern. It began as one because Phaedrus knew no intellectual LEVEL level at that time, but was so immersed in SOM (as your "mountain view" aptly indicates) that he did not see sit. However, after his Quality=Reality insight one may call it "limbo" - not SOM, not MOQ - but after the D/S division of Quality the metaphysical leap was completed. And looking back on SOM from the MOQ the former was suddenly seen as the latter's top static level. > If one wants the Sage's actual experience, the > metaview, then the climb is required.

The MOQ is the greatest philosophical breakthrough since (fill in) HAD it just been understood, but the sage himself failed at the critical point by making it an intellectual pattern - an improved intellect. No static level can be improved. Its grandeur rests on making SOM its own intellectual level.
