Hi Mark
I think I agree with what you are saying. I think
that when we talk about going beyond an existing level
we are talking about the emergence of new patterns
that organise existing patterns, like DNA organising
inorganic molecules. Or people using writing (part of intellectual level) to organise
their society in new ways that only the unique creation of
something new, i.e. writing, made possible.
regards
David M

Subject: Re: MD The Individual Level
Dear Steve,
I understand your view Re. Levels and people.
I've never had a problem understanding your point of view and agree with your approach the matter.
It is obvious you do not agree with Platt's notion of an Individual level and why.
I should like to thank you for helping me out with a question. You asked how a new level begins?
I can see the answer to this now, although at the time my response was to say that the Carbon atom was a mystical state. The reason this thought jumped into my head is because a new level begins with DQ. A new level is not 'born' from an old one, and it does not 'include' the old one: DQ is the starting point, and there is therefore no relation between a new level and an old one. This is very important.
We may say loosely that a new level includes an old level, but this is misleading if taken literally.
This is why i intuited the carbon pattern to be 'mystic' - it at that exceptionally coherent point that DQ reconfigures.
Thanks again,
All the best,
Mark
