Hi Ron, 

I am not sure that there is a clear definition or consensus concerning the Intellectual Level, and unless Horse opens up the topic, I have been banned from discussing my interpretation/definition.  Further, we live in a global world where Eastern and Western philosophies might be brought together and moved forward, so I see no need to exclude either's point-of-view.  As far as I know Eastern philosophy is not enlightenment or nirvana, but is suppose to move one's understanding towards that state.  They struggle with overcoming the same self/object reification that the West struggles with.  At least, imho.
