Everything we want to communicate and to achieve in our lives, from the simplest idea to the most complex endeavors, such as our visions and dreams, must be translated from its original idea state in our mind to an external or extended structure or form outside ourselves to become realized. Otherwise, they will remain just figments of our imagination. These structures and forms we create are media of communication by which we are able to achieve desired outcomes in our pursuits. They are composed of different elements and parts that have properties or directions that cause them to behave in certain particular ways. When translating our thoughts into realized actions, the directions and properties of these different elements and parts must be aligned in such a way that they will work together to support a particularly desired effect and that effect only. This is an exploratory learning process by which we can search and discover the alignment of these directions and properties in achieving our desired ends. Fortunately, this is an educable process which can be learned by almost anyone. However, it is not something being formally taught in our society.

It is, therefore, in the nature of our innate makeup that we are able to extend our reach in this world by projecting ourselves out in different forms and structures, such as in our families, our friendships, our communities, our businesses, our work, our books, creations and other means. This is a structural, nonverbal form of communication and learning by which we can translate our ideas, thoughts and desires into realized forms within the environment. It is a powerful form of communication with which to discover the new patterns and structures for extending our reach and influence in adapting to our world of changing needs and times. The play factor serves as an exploratory tool for helping us learn to see and to align the different directions and properties of our media and materials within new relevant forms of the present.

In this regard, we need to understand that the air we breathe, the ground we walk on, the water we drink and the personal and professional relationships we are involved with, the thoughts we have, the dreams we dream, all are structures of parts related to a whole. In fact, everything in life is a structure, a relationship of parts related to a wholeÑa unified entity, to which we are mostly blind because of our lack of training in learning to see these structures.
