My 2 cents on the level thingy and the Symantec of it. Ultimately it is all a label used to describe something, giving us a vantage point for referencing. Just as you can not necessarily have good with out bad. Better yet, know what is called good with out seeing it from a potential vantage point of something bad.
Take colors for instance each color has its own vibrational frequency and as such have an effect on us. Extreme examples of this is Red representing anger, outward expression of energy either verbal, martial or whatever. Colors like blue being more peaceful and relaxing can have a calming effect on anyone. To test this all one has to do is muscle test with the two colors. So I guess what I am trying to say is that descriptive name given to levels only help us discern the differences between A&B. Also consider that what A is for one person may not be the same for another.
I agree the ego should be embraced, it is a core part of who we are and our primal survival. But it must be kept in check for it may not necessarily serve us as we move to higher LEVLES of thinking. For instance the fight flight situation that the ego is a great part of can react in two ways. Fight being considered the lower vibration approach and associated with the color red also a lower vibration on the color spectrum. Flight does not necessarily imply a coward approach but can be a choice based on calmness and centeredness. The calmness factor would be in the higher vibration colors such as the blue and violets which are calm and soothing. And now I find that I am rambling and my 2 cents growing so I’ll let it rest for now.
Love & violet light to ya all
