People came not for the community-experience, even though that's what they received. It was the surprise. Est also created a community through the emptiness and despair of realizing that you are more than your mind. But except for the organization that followed, there was also no continuity of community. Taking a community-experience and then creating an organization from it, just doesn't work.
Community is the higher of the two forms.
Organization is a reduction of the chaos which must on some levels continue for community to continue to grow. Instead of tryng to change apples into oranges, just accept that apples and oranges are distinct and you can have both of them. The are distinct with different needs. Know that you can have them both and must operate on both levels often simultaneously. It's multi-dimensional, as we are.
