In a MOQ retrospect morality was served for each new level bringing 
the former under control - or "killed", tamed or whatever. like John 
here says about the social-intellectual relationship.

Honest? The levels can't but be true to themselves and their mutual 
animosity.

Right, there are other teachings with fewer levels and other names for 
them. Religion (of the Semitic kind)  only has  the biological (flesh) 
level that constantly threatens to overwhelm  the  spiritual level. 
Buddhism has the intellectual level whose ceaseless "thinking" 
disturbs the Buddha (Quality) level's tranquillity. Only the MOQ delivers 
the complete picture of four levels, one "killing" (taking control of) the 
former. It's (MOQ's)  relationship with intellect  is sensitive to say the 
least, the former is no static level yet there is a level-like aspect 
between them. Intellect must be brought down from its haughty (SOM) 
position, like intellect once brought society down and society brought 
biology down ...etc.
