One question is whether a metaphysics at a high level can be packaged for
comsumption at a lower level at all! I think generally not. Without
quantifying what a 'level' is, I would say that all of us are able to
comprehend ideas about one level beyond where we currently are. That's
our growing edge or realizable potential. If there is a gap of two of
more 'levels' the jump is too great and there is non-comprehension. The
MOQ paradigm, imo, has much greater explanatorinesss than the SOM for
understanding experience, but perhaps it's more than a 'level' on average.
:) As someone else has already said, our job then becomes to internalize
the perceived quality on our growing edge (MOQ in this case) and live in a
way that reflects this understanding of life and the universe (true for
any religion :) If we're right in perceiving MOQ as a higher 'level',
and if there is a general evolutionary movement towards higher quality
(debatable of course), then the collective will move inexorably towards
MOQ over _time_.
One other thought: As I've mentioned before, I get a little uneasy with
the hierarchical arrangment of the 4 levels as I worry about how easy it
is to justify bad ideas (low quality ideas) as superior when in fact they
might be destructive socially or biologically or inorganically. IMO the
quality of ideas is not only not independent of the other levels, but
should be evaluated in part on how they enhance the quality of
experiencing at other levels. Don
