I am currently rereading a book called "Playing the Future" in which the author uses our kids to inform us of what the future will be like. I'm at the beginning of the book right now but I know what is coming. He talks about the surfing community, the skateboarding community, the snowboarding community and the rave community.
One of the interesting things he points out is that some of these communities, especially the rave community, will become phase-locked. Phase-locking is a phenomena that occurs when people are in a close community. They begin to syncronize with each other mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. For example, women who live together have a tendency to develop syncronized menstrual cycles. It is an interesting concept and it is especially interesting to think about in terms of Christian community and how phase-locking effects the spiritual health of the community as a whole.
