什么维系一个社区.doc

是什麼在維繫著一個社區? WHAT HOLDS A COMUNITY TOGETHER? ? 本文是歐洲生態村紀錄片【全新的我們 A New We】中所介紹的一個生態村典範Institute for Global Peacework (IGP) 之肇建者Dieter Duhm的演講文。 ? 取材自神聖整體一章，By：Dieter Duhm 博士 ? 自從瑞士阿斯科那的斐麗塔社區(Monte Verita in Ascona)經歷百年實驗，仍不免失敗的例子之後，義大利也有一個失敗的案例…我們不禁要問，是什麼可以維繫一個社區合而不散，是什麼可以讓它不再失敗?什麼可以讓社區的力量，不斷彼此增益呢? ? Dr. Dieter Duhm (Chapter of his book: The Sacred Matrix) ? After a hundred years of failed community experiments since Monte Verita in Ascona, Italy (which also failed), one is justified in asking: What holds acommunity together, what stops it from failing, and how is its power increased? ? 首先，最重要的一點，這需要一個強而有力的想法，一個概念，一個目標，那不僅僅是想要與人接觸的個人渴望，也不只是想要有一個家的感覺。較具體的例子，是像蓋一個和諧的花園，建立一個兒童樂園，一所轉型的學校，一套完整的能源計畫，一座藝術中心，一個媒體及大眾交誼中心…等等。這些概念，越是符合客觀需求，就越能得到大眾的支持。 ? First of all it needs a strong idea, a concept, or a goal, which is more than a personal desire for contact and a feeling of home. Some examples would be building a peace garden, establishing a children’s republic, a school of transformation, an encompassing energy project, an art centre, a media and communication centre, etc. The more its concept corresponds to an objective necessity, the more it will be supported by the universe. ? 第二，需要有處理人際衝突的好方法， 它需要一個心靈-精神層面的核心觀念，當人際關係瀕臨絕裂的時候，仍能保持它的效果。 ? Secondly, it needs good methods to deal with human conflict. It needs A mental-spiritual concept, which remains effective even when human relationships threaten to break down. ? 第三，需要一些勇於負責的人們，當很多事情進行不順利時，仍有足夠的力量為社區理念挺身而出，這需要一個不尋常的強大且穩定的力量。 ? Third, it needs a few responsible people, who have the strength to stand up for the community idea even when many things go wrong. It needs an unusually strong staying power. ? 第四，它不需要頂層管理者或任何領域性的概念，需要的是那些負擔主要責任的人們之間的互相合作。一個願意負有更大責任的社區之創建，其先決條件就是負責人間，恆常互相效力的聯繫，而沒有暗地裡的權力競爭。 ? Fourth, it does not need any top dogs or territorial thinking; instead, it needs cooperation among those who have taken on the main responsibility. A prerequisite for the creation of any community that has taken on a larger task
