It was candles before Edison, by now its LED lights or even 
something more sophisticated. Your problem is smoking and my 
"light up" reminded you, is that so?

In the SOM reality any notion that comes to MIND seems to be 
intellect, the Ancients' notion of lights in the sky as 
gods/goddesses were ancient intellect, the Australian aboriginal 
animist world-view was aboriginal intellect ... etc. this makes 
absolutely every "interpretation of experience" into intellect. But 
this is wrong, intellect is the ability to distinguish between what's 
objective and what's subjective so my dictionary says (with a little 
help) In other words INTELLECT=SOM. Every possible indicator 
point that way.

OK, you only said that the MOQ belongs in the intellectual level, 
but if my assertion of intellect=S/O holds, then the MOQ which is 
D/S (dynamic/static) is NOT an intellectual pattern. It began as 
one because Phaedrus knew no intellectual LEVEL level at that 
time, but was so immersed in SOM (as your "mountain view" 
aptly indicates) that he did not see sit. However, after his  
Quality=Reality insight one may call it "limbo"  - not SOM, not 
MOQ - but after the D/S division of Quality the metaphysical leap 
was completed. And looking back on SOM from the MOQ the 
former was suddenly seen as the latter's top static level.

Don't despair, this about rising above intellect is the wisest thing 
said on this site for years. The MOQ is the greatest philosophical 
breakthrough since (fill in) HAD it just been understood, but the 
sage himself failed at the critical point by making it an intellectual 
pattern - an improved intellect. No static level can be improved. 
Its grandeur rests on making SOM its own intellectual level. 

IMO
