Question: How does the speaking level differ from the animal?

Answer: The speaking level differs from the animal level in that it cares about its neighbor, about those who are outside of it.

It can develop so much, feel the other so much that in this way it becomes incorporated into him, saves him, and takes care of him.

Question: But animals also take care of each other. Is there any exceptional factor that will really lift us above the animal level?

Answer: Only the feeling of the Creator. And this is the fourth level, above the speaking level.
