As my pet author Barfield would say, it is the intellect that makes the
individual possible, and as SOLAQI points out, the value of q-intellect
is the subject/object divide, i.e., the creation of the individual. So
in a way, calling the fourth level the level of the individual or the
level of the intellectual amounts to the same thing. The advantage of
the latter over the former is that it identifies the faculty that lets
one grow as an individual. If I am to "let DQ into my life", then it is
the intellect that I employ, as it is what enables me to detach from
fixed sq, at whatever level.
