Homo Russelicus or Homo Intellectualis refers to the human being evolving around intellectual lines. As your uncle rightly pointed out it is in a sarcastic vein implying that the intellectual man thinks he is superior because of his analytical mental faculty whereas there are other higher and deeper possibilities awaiting his discovery. 

Homo spiritualicus is the spiritually evolved human being in whom intuition has become active. He is a being of universal knowledge. 

Homo psychicus is the human being who is governed more and more by the psychic being and the Divine Presence in his heart. He is a being of universal love.

Affectionately,

What does the chant “OM SHANTI” truly signify—is peace merely the repetition of a sacred word, or a state to be deeply imbibed within the heart? We often define peace simply as the absence of external conflict, agitation, or turbulence, but this surface calmness is only temporary and amounts to nothing more than restraining turbulent emotions. What, then, constitutes real, unshakable inner peace, and how can one truly attain and sustain it? 🕉️🕊️

Peace is not an absence of disturbance. Even inertia is free from disturbance. Peace is something positive and powerful, a fundamental foundational status of the Divine, seemingly equal and non-reactive like Shiva bearing and upholding the dance of Kali upon his chest or the ocean holding its tremendous energy by its own power of self-limitation. maryada. It is a state of concentrated ingatheredness like the mountains or a vast Silence …
