Why Teach This Idea?

Life is a pattern.  Life consists of order even when it seems that things occur randomly.  There is a pattern to disorder.  There are patterns to belief systems.  It is the way that the human brain is organized.  We remember things with patterns.  We communicate with patterns.  History patterns itself after events of the past.  Every discipline area has a system, or pattern, to how it is studied, observed, documented, performed and explored.
