Isaiah 2:3 · World English Bible
Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.
The movement is upward and voluntary. No one drives them.

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
The movement is upward and voluntary. No one drives them. They summon one another, because a person who has glimpsed something higher wants his neighbor to climb with him toward the same thing.
And the mountain stands for an order above appetite and opinion, a hierarchy of value that is discovered rather than invented. Ways and paths are walked, not merely believed. When many separate souls orient themselves toward the same summit, a shared law can proceed from it, and a scattered people finds it can move together. That is how a fractured world begins to cohere.
Clinical Psychology lens
Who would come with me if I actually asked?
A person of character does not climb alone. He lifts others toward what is good, because his own ascent is incomplete while his neighbors stay below.
The community of practice exists because almost no one walks the path alone. We orient together toward the same summit, and the walking is the teaching, not the believing.
We are built for each other, like rows of teeth or hands made to work in pairs. A life aimed at the common good is the only one actually aimed at anything.
