According to William James (James, 1982):, a Pattern-setter is a mystic who, because of the strength and clarity of their Connection and Connection Experiences (i.e., mystical revelations) is able to establish new understandings and new trends in human spirituality.
Notes
Examples of pattern-setters include Zoroaster, Muhammad, Jesus Christ, and, according to James, George Fox of the Quaker religion.
