I understand perfectly well that I am inside a culture, but what the 
MOQ means (to me) is tearing myself loose from the Western 
SOM (intellectual level) culture, to enter the Quality Culture.

biggest cultural concept there is, but within the levels there are 
countless sub-cultures. Even at the biological level we speak 
about bacteria cultures ..etc..   

The Western culture is the one where intellectual level dominates 
but it surely has many sub- and sub-sub-sets. Likewise there is 
one major culture where social value dominates and just as many 
sub-sets. This is no fixed order, my Norway was social-focussed 
(religion-dominated) a mere century ago.

Pre-intellect in the MOQ means the social level. If you mean the 
"pre-intellect" of ZAMM, it's existence's dynamic component.

We can certainly transcend intellect (in its SOM capacity) to 
reach the MOQ culture .... or variations thereof, as I believe 
(Pirsig saying) the Oriental cultures are.
