Hi Sam (and all),
just a few comments on your contribution...

Agreed. Just a clarification:
I was suggesting to see spirituality as a fifth level.
Are you saying that would "close" the fourth level ? In what way?

I was lead to believe the levels are a hierarchy based on evolution, with
Quality, both SQ and DQ, giving impulse to the evolution at all levels.

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious (and I aware of my limited knowledge here),
but it seems to me that we (I) need to find a place/definition for
spirituality within the MoQ first.

I am not sure I fully understand. Are you saying that to be aware of DQ is
a spiritual activity?
