While the intellect makes awareness of the individual possible (via
SOT), it can also do other things. Maybe someday there will be group
minds or whatever. Or I might venture that the intellectual level only
truly comes into its own when the idea of being an individual is
transcended. So I would say calling the fourth level the level of the
individual is too restricting. You say the reverse, so I ask, what is
there in the individual that is not dependent on the intellect that is
an evolutionary advance over the social?
