Bryan Deel Student Topic: Wilderness as a Whole

Throughout history, humanity has returned to nature to “connect with spirit and to seek answers to problems of the physical realms, especially in this timeline when the messages of prophecy reveal themselves to the seeker." Many prophets and philosophers have used the isolation of wilderness to seek truth and divine realization. Though humans used to believe that nature was dangerous, even ugly and unpleasant, many people now agree that there is something significant, mysterious, and miraculous about being unaccompanied in the wilderness that makes humans more aware of their surroundings.
