I have a question. Why does it have to be hierarchical? Why can't the 'four levels' be four major systems that interact with each other? Interconnected. There can still exist the respect for the old stability and the new freedom.
Hi MarshaV and all,
joe: good questions! I have no answers! I want to retell a story in moq terms told by Gurdjieff in All and Everything
When the solar system was first forming a comet ran into the earth which did not have a completely formed atmosphere for a buffer and a couple of large chunks broke off. The largest was the moon. Gravity kept the pieces circling earth.
Evolution started on earth when the moon's influence created patterns in the earth's oceans which were changed by the collision with the comet. The organic level formed. The need for food 'purpose' had manifested from the moon's influence, and somehow this created a greater bond beyond gravity between the earth and the moon. Then the social level, order (existence) evolved from the organic. The intellectual level (unfinished s/o) evolved from the social. A man on the moon, and the bond between the earth and the moon is even stronger.
Somewhere in the story I hope there is an analogy to 'hierarchy' and 'interconnection'.
Joe
