Bets and Lucy, see some edits in the post. It might read clearer now.
Yes Bets, you are correct, the prime distinction is an attribute of soul. It is of the first attribute, that of awareness and the ability to discern. The second being choice, and the next is effort or use of force. Each attribute is built on the one before and each attribute divides into faculties x 7 x 7, and the faculties extend externally and internally.
A picture says a thousand words but I will try to describe it. (maybe someone can tell me how to post pictures) Picture in your mind the vastness of empty space. In that space picture a square divided horozontally in half; into two rectangles. The top half of the square is white; the bottom half is black. That is intelligence. That is the prime distinction.
Imagine that square replicates itself - two smaller squares set below itself, each divided into white and black rectangles. Then those two divide into four, those four into eight, and so on, infinitely. This increasing pyramid is the increasing of intelligence by its reduction and expansion - getting ever finer and wider.
The universe and all existence is layed out similarly, as a pyramid of truth. Every fact can be divided into two or more facts. The chair into its legs, its seat, its back, and those parts further divided. And every fact is itself a division of a fact above it. At the top of the pyramid is Truth the Sum Total and Unification of all Facts. It divided and subdivided to make all existence.
Do you see? Intelligence corresponds with existence - with truth. Intelligence is the ability to recognise. To discern the facts to finer and finer degrees, and to a wider and wider expance, and to recognise patterns, generalities, differences, and so on. Anything we perceive is comprised of a combination of facts, which are units of truth, and our perception of it is a corresponding combination of our units of intelligence.
Our prime distinction is black and white, that is the most extreme and unlimited intelligence. It has no programming, just potential. Everything existist between and as a combination of black and white. By their blending, their dividing, arranging and conmbinations can be perceived and is all things.
Animals intelligence is based on a qualitative prime distinction, which replicates itself as described above, unlimited in extent, but limited in quality, which is its width.
There is much more about intelligence but I must leave it there for now.

All creatures have their role and every role works in some way to support this planet as a school for freewilled souls. Many animals are part of nature's vast scaffolding which supports the school of Earth. Others serve in closer contact to humanity. Some provide their bodies for consumption, for material, for medice, experiments, and other uses. Some are here to monitor and measure us (the school's progress) in different ways. The dog registers our emotions; the cat, our mental attitude; the horse sees what we do and through our history has even done it for us. Other animals teach us, give us hints and clues, embody for us an idea to help us grasp it, a quality, a virtue. Others test our patience, help us be punctual, encourage us to keep houses and our bodies clean and tidy, and some help sharpen our awareness and our senses. And all species and individuals are versatile to some degree; they do other roles besides their central one. _________________________
In reality, there are no victims on this planet - except those victims of the Victim Industry who become convinced that they are victims when they're not, then waste their lives in self pity, irresponsibility and self imposed limitation.
Nothing is unexpected on this planet; nothing is a surprise. Not to those who understand freewill and the nature of this school. __________________________
All creatures have will and intelligence to a measure, otherwise they would have freewill, be unreliable, and could not do their job.
Human will and intelligence is free - therefore so is human thought and action - is unrestrained, not hemmed in in anyway, not in extent or width but is fully potentialised. And every creature that comes to this planet or puts its extensions down here knows that before it comes.
__________________________
Telepathy with animals: Yes complimentary thinking and wonderment is good. It is in the expansion of both our heart and mind; the exercising of our ability to take in great things. Knowing our core, our soul, at level of both head and heart, and extending ourself to them or opening up to them. __________________________
We should treat animals kindly as possible regardless of their roles and of what we have to do with them. We may work in an experimental laboratory, be a slaughter-man in an abattoir, a hunter, trapper or pest exterminator, but we can still love them, be appreciative of their service, and be as kind as our job and situation allows.
