The journey to True Community involves progressing through four stages: Pseudocommunity, where differences are ignored; Chaos, where conflicts surface; Emptiness, where egos are set aside; and finally, True Community, where empathy and understanding prevail. This process fosters profound connection, growth, and sustainable unity.

Don’t Lie to Yourself: This is Evil. - Ceejae Devine - Medium

In order to solve a problem we need to be able to name it, describe it in detail, and understand the nuances. I think people either miss or dismiss a lot of the indicators of evil, and that allows it to become a monster. I hope you find this book to be helpful in your life, as much as I found it to be in mine.

Ok, last posts of the night, before I really peel my eyeballs off my head and soak them overnight. Please read this short and sweet summary of M. Scott Peck's 4 stages of community, from his excellent book The Different Drum:

"The poor in spirit do not commit evil. Evil is not committed by people who feel uncertain about their righteousness, who question their own motives, who worry about betraying themselves. The evil in this world is committed by the spiritual fat cats, by the Pharisees of our own day, the self-righteous who think they are without sin because they are unwilling to suffer the discomfort of significant self-examination."
