Marsha:
Bob, an experienced desert traveler, sees the mirage as a mirage and assures Bill, a neophyte, that there is no danger from the puddle on the road.  Isn't the idea to understand that these static patterns should not bind, or blind, us whether intellectual level patterns or biological patterns.  Then one merely needs to recognize patterns, and to determine, to the best of one's ability, what it values and whether it is useful or not in the present case.  I think it better to make such determinations when one is free from fear and dependence.
