[HANASHIR:6242] Community Making

[Roslyn Schwartz <rs4...>]

The Different Drum



For those of you who are interested in an intellectual understanding of
the Hava Nashira experience, I highly recommend the Scott Peck book The
Different Drum: Community Making and Peace.  Here is a sample quote: (p.
105)

"The most common emotional response to the spirit of community is the
feeling of joy.  It is like falling in love.  When they enter community,
people in a very real sense do fall in love with one another en masse. 
They not only feel like touching and hugging each other, they feel like
hugging everyone all at once.  During the highest moments the energy
level is supernatural.  It is ecstatic." 

Sound familiar?
