FRIENDS JOURNAL January 1, 1973 3 The Wilderness and Men's Souls by Floyd Sohmoe

soME TIME AGO a small band of Ishmaelites engaged in inrerstate commerce became involved in a notorious kid­ napping case. They took the boy, Joseph, a shepherd, from his conniving brothers and sold him at a profit in the neigh­ boring state of Egypt. Their real business, however, was entirely legitimate. The camels and donkeys of their cara­ van were carrying spices, balm and myrrh from the hills of Gilead to the dusty markets along the Nile. Those Egyptians were like us. They were civilized­ they wore shoes, they had chariots, they held slaves, and they had fleshpots. They needed the Balm of Gilead and they needed it badly. And so do we, for like the ancient Egyptians we are too much inclined to weigh values in terms of material things. What we have, not what we are, too often deter­ mines the opinion we have of ourselves. The fabric of our civilization has become too heavily weighted with the stuff of things without enough increase in the moral strength In the process, he moved too fast, rode too high, became of the warp to hold it together. It is becoming a shoddy too overcrowded. As his blood pressure went up, his blatant society in danger of falling apart from its own mental stability went down. Gradually, he lost the content­ weight. ment of belonging that uncivilized man had known.

In the wilderness there is quiet, books, which he illustrates himself. peace and solitude. Fortunately, there remain natural wildernesses on earth beyond the manmade wildernesses of frivoJi.ty, ignorance and mental sterility. There are the great open spaces of earth, the bounding- although not boundless-sea, the vast silent wilderness of the sky. And everywhere are smaller wildernesses closer at hand. These may be harder to find, but look for them in a quiet room, a kitchen garden or a vacant lot. Man is related to wilderness far more intimately than to civilization. With the tree and the vine we have common need; with the bird and the beast we share common func­ tion. To all other men we are brother and sister. To regain our rightful place in the economy and harmony of nature, to restore our sense of belonging, we must recognize this kinship with the wild from which man sprang but from which we have grown too far apart. To save ourselves we must return to it, put ourselves in tune with it, come to terms with it. Nature will help us find peace and content­ ment; it will do us good.

It IS a pure gift.

6 January 1, 1973 FRIENDS JOURNAL The last of the types of mysticism to be counted typi­ cally Quaker is one that Wieman rejects as "worthless"; n~ely, what he calls "inner conviction" or "inner light." It 1s easy to understand his rejection for, as the early Ranter movement in England and America showed, it can lead to extravagant ideas and actions if each person follows the vagaries of his own impulses. For the early Quakers, however, the light within was never wholly individual. It was for them the same spirit that spoke through the Scriptures, as well as through the Quaker group. Thus, any leading that was contrary to scripture or to the leadings of the group was suspect. Whereas the leadings. of the Ranters sent them off in many directions, the leadmgs of the Light among Quakers were felt to bring them together into a unity, for they were all seeking one thing, to discover the will of God and to obey it. The inward light to which the Quakers appealed was not a different light for each individual, but the one true Light "that lighteth every man that cometh into the world." The sense of participation in a common religious experi­ ence created a strong and abiding sense of community. A common phrase in early Quaker writings was "one another." As one reads early Quaker history one is struck by the faithfulness of those who felt called to carry the message of truth to foreign lands. Often they resisted for y~ars , but finding no peace in their souls, they finally y1elded and obeyed their inward Guide. But one need not tum to ancient history to find such experiences, for there are many persons today who faithfully try to follow what they consider to be the voice of God. One Friend was led to organize a peace demon­ stration. She felt that she could not escape it and still maintain her integrity of spirit. Another Friend has said Fire in Vietnam, Peter Fingesten "You don't get a concern. A concern gets you. You can't' escape." However, this experience of inward guidance important for anyone whose main concern is to be a son comes only to those who act upon the guidance given them. of God.
