RMP has defined the Intellectual Level as "the  collection and 
manipulation of symbols, created in the brain, that stand for 
patterns of experience."  (LC,p.64)  Intellect, on the other hand, 
"is simply thinking, and one can think without involving the 
subject-object relationship."  (LC,p.289)

Is this wrong?  How would you define the Intellectual Level?  How are 
you defining intellect?   Compare and contrast everything with RMP's 
definition.

While my language has not yet evolved to reflect it, I do not think 
of the world being made up of subject&objects.    I think of the 
world as being value experiences and patterns of value 
experiences.  I do not believe RMP invented a new, great theory.  He 
has explained, using the MOQ, a revelation he experienced from his 
Mountain View.

Let's just see if a clarification of the definition of 'Intellectual 
Level' and 'intellect'  helps, because I am not seeing your 
problem.  But it could easily be my misunderstanding.
