James, I heard just the tiniest bit of a discussion on television the other day about men being pattern seekers. I wish I had heard more! In other words, from the part of us that is simply animal instinct, and probably as a survival mechanism in the early days, we seek patterns. So it was necessary for early man to invent some mystical explanation of the universe, and why bad things happen, and what happens when we die, because the ideas of chaos and random chance are simply too scary and create insecurity in most of us. Free thinkers would seem to be radically different from the pattern seekers.
