I agree that all communities are problematic….and being a counselor…I know how many different levels of consciousness people are at….and when you try to put them together, phew, watch out! It is very tough…
And I think another huge issue though is trust–we have been taught to distrust others with an 'every man for himself'.Taker culture. From that anyone currently trying to create a community has, I believe a deep wondering of “am I going to end up a sucker at the end of all this? even as they cross fingers and hope it works out!..
To me it comes back to a huge 'shift in consciousness'…starting with SELF responsiblity–truly owning your own life, taking risks with consciousness, being engaged (no slacking here!) merged with a new connection to the entire Community of Life and designing life that honors all. That said…I would venture a guess that less than 2% of the world's population could meet these requirements :(
So, from a 'social glue' stand point..I don't think we've got it at this point ….sad to say.
