I am fortunate to be a linguist by training and so am well aware how easily we lay traps for each other in our use of language. What we have to offer is something profound and liberating and somewhat fearful. We offer people the freedom to look into their very souls and explore what they find there in the companion­ ship of fellow seekers and finders. For many who are escaping the rigid con­ fines of other forms of spirituality, this is deeply liberating, because they see them­ selves as humans made in the image of God. It is also a fearful experience as they come to see that they themselves are describe it, as being with being. This is est also that we ourselves are often far responsible for their lives and cannot hide indeed fearful and explains perhaps why from being patterns and examples.

My own experiences with this include a wonderful study tour to Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya in 1983, travel to Nicaragua in 1984, and work in El Salvador from 1986-90. I am grateful for these opportunities to learn from others, and my work as a peace activist and community organizer has been formed by these and ,other opportunities. My spiritual development has greatly ben­ efited as well. While I don't believe that poor people in the developing world or at home need Friends to work with them, I do believe that Friends (individually and corporately) need the experience ofwork­ ing with such people. How can we refine our testimony of equality within homo­ geneous meetings or communities? Where better to understand the peace testimony than in a country at war? And the two-thirds of the world that live with far fewer resources than we do can teach us much about simplicity and justice. Based on these concerns, the commit­ tee of Friends Meeting of Austin that provided support for the work I did in El Salvador proposed in 1991 that our South Central Yearly Meeting (SCYM) under­ take a Volunteer Service Support Com­ mittee (VSSC).

This would involve holding Earl ac­ countable for his selfish behavior and not allowing him to have a comfortable, en­ joyable time watching television after he had made everyone else in the family miserable. This could mean insisting on a discussion with him right then, even though he would prefer to watch foot­ ball. It could mean letting him know that he was damaging trust and affection in both the parent/child relationship and in the marriage. It could mean telling him that a man can't expect to behave this way to his family and then expect to receive warm treatment in return. This discussion shouldn't take place in front of Lori. After such a discussion, if Earl did not change his position, Mary could consider taking Lori skating her­ self.

VOICES & VISIONS OF TilE POETS AND PROPHETS IN THE DEAD SEA SCROUS, THE NAG HAMMAD! UBRARY, AND THE BffiLE

A COMMON VISION OF LIGHT

Jesus: The Nag Hammadi Library Teacher of Righteousness: The Dead Sea Scrolls I I"Trust in me, brethren; wdentand what the great light is." "The splendor of Thy [God's] glory has beccme unto me as a light everlasting." Recently discovered archaeological evidence within The Nag Hammadi Library (e.g., The Gospel of Thomas, which contains 114 "secret sayings" of Jesus, The Gospel ofPhilip, The Gospel ofMary , etc.) provides astonishing new insights into Jesus and His unique teachings. Upon comparing this evidence to The Dead Sea Scrolls, the new Scroll fragments (1992), and the Bible, Light-Consciousness reveals that Jesus and the Essene "Messiah" (i.e., the Teacher of Righteousness) not only shared a common vision of reality but also used a pool of strikingly similar poetic symbols to describe this vision. Light-Consciousness demonstrates that these analogous sayings of Jesus and the Essene Teacher represent an inspired consciousness of God's Light which both of them experienced. This well-documented book also describes the characteristics of "Light-Conscious­ ness" and considers how poets and prophets throughout the ages have portrayed its awesome spiritual powers.
