AB Many natural patterns are obvious. We observe them in the weather, our physiology, the solar system, and our habits. We see that every finite thing is made up of parts and every finite thing is a part of something else. Relationships and characteristics occur in patterns. We see structure and function everywhere we look; everything falls into categories. Some patterns are not so well-defined, including the function of our minds—thoughts, beliefs, emotions, opinions, and worldviews. Even so, patterns exist in the ways our minds influence what we are and do. Changing our thinking changes everything. This article is based on the premise that carefully chosen patterns provide holistic guidance. Furthermore, thinking that seeks and follows such guidance is essential—but it is ominously absent from today's world. The case is made that rectifying this situation involves conceptual consistency that matches reality/truth and the convergence of all belief systems.
