What I found most interesting about the discussion of Twin Oaks was the almost biblical ideals held by this community. They use the example of the commune’s car being dirty because “nobody has any sense of identity to it”. They further this idea by stating that neither the car, their houses, nor anything else they own has meaning because they do not identify themselves with it. When new members come the goal is that they lose the ego they had before it. This resembles the bible in the way that God requires man to give up their physical possessions to strengthen their relationship with him and eventually enter into Heaven.
