    HI Joe,

    I didn't mean to challenge what you said. I meant my question as a simple
    one. Better phrased, it might read;

    How would you 'Think" intellect evolves?

    Order and description wouldn't be key. Right?

    late for dinner:)

    >>Joe:
    >>Analogy accepts the discontinuity of forms, e.g., evolution! Gravity is
    >>often an analogue for different forces. Metaphor accepts a faith in
    >>awareness in a model of different moral levels. " I was born on the
    >>prairie where the wind blew free, and there was nothing to break the light
    >>of the sun." ibid. The inorganic-organic level model of speech is logical.
    >>"I want to die there, and not within walls." ibid.
    >>
    >>IMO The social level model of speech is metaphor, e.g., the roles in a
    >>family. No one is quite sure apart from organic generation what the roles
    >>of father, mother, child etc. mean. Yet social order occurs from an
    >>acceptance of roles. Metaphor is in the social order. He/she is leader! An
    >>order is observed. When the metaphor of order is used in the intellectual
    >>level as a metaphysical tool it becomes dogma. The creation of awareness
    >>is seen as a higher level than order. Gravity is seen as a lower level
    >>than order. Feeding is seen as a higher level than gravity, but lower than
    >>order. IMO This is morality! The assignment of guilt for an action is
    >>measured in the awareness level of the individual. The proof of awareness
    >>is action, "by their fruits you will know them." Anarchy in Iraq comes
    >>from a destruction of an established social order.
    >>
    >>IMO If I propose existing levels like in evolution I use a social level
    >>base. IMO order is the social level. The inorganic, organic, social,
    >>intellectual levels in the MOQ are metaphors of DQ. There is no inorganic,
    >>organic, intellectual supreme leader. The periodic table of elements is an
    >>analogy to the social order. It would seem that an affect on awareness
    >>would be a more reasonable base for a periodic table of elements.
    >>
    >>When metaphor and analogy are combined they evolve, the moral levels
