The ultimate and highest level of human development and state of being is unity consciousness, the ability to know and experience the interconnectedness and unity in all things and all beings.

That state of awareness is more than an intellectual understanding (though it starts with that). It's a functioning of consciousness. It's a multidimensional understanding combined with multidimensional experiencing.

It starts with knowledge, specific and holistic knowledge, and ends with expansion of the heart. Compassion and expansion of the heart is a function of intelligence. We tend to relegate it to emotion. It's beyond emotion, it's a component of overall and overview intelligence. It brings seeing and living unity to the forefront of awareness.

There's a state of development where compassion and love are a state of consciousness, the highest state of consciousness, unity consciousness.
