    Hi Scott

    I see intellect of a certain 'flavour' when the cosmos
    is moving towards higher forms of consciousness, i.e.
    'adding together' all that has been differentiated. But
    what about the ealier phases of differentiation, do
    we ascribe to this a movement towards higher level
    awareness? Is there not a process of retreat into the
    focus of awareness that we call the individual? And this
    'retreat' from participation to subjectivity a different sort
    of process than what we may call intellect's reaching
    back out again at the 4th level? Do you follow this
    challenge?

    regards
    David M
