Rev. Dr. Matthew Fox

Hello, Sam,
He has, and he has posted on it numerous times in his Daily Meditations (www.dailymeditationswithmatthewfox.org).

It is only when we integrate our light & shadow, our gifts with our wounds, our opposites within, that we can become the mystics & the warriors the Earth calls us to be. bit.ly/4hkaVA6

Wendell Berry: Perhaps the great disaster of human history happened to or within religion: the conceptual division between the holy and the world, the excerpting of the Creator from the creation. bit.ly/4mcpY1j

World Lion Day 2025 - Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox World Lion Day was yesterday, August 10. I think lions are worth our meditation and appreciation—as is any beautiful and wonderful creature. Such meditations are a spiritual practice for those who wal...

#Wisdom is synonymous with “beauty & terror” as Nicolas of Cusa, the poet Rilke, & other mystics remind us. A #lion is stately & noble—a royal person?—& beautiful &, if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, terrifying. #WorldLionDay bit.ly/45dy9Ew

#CreationSpirituality emphasizes the sacredness of the earth. It encourages creativity to combat works causing #globalwarming & #climatechange & other expressions of #injustice, while working hard to interfere with the #suffering of #MotherEarth & her creatures. bit.ly/3Ql5rsN

#Forgiveness is vast—there really is no rational reason for it. #Justice by itself asks not for forgiveness but for #restitution. Forgiveness requires great #love, love that calls us beyond ourselves. Big love calls people to forgive bigly. bit.ly/4kxtIcG

We assumed Earth exists for us. But we are learning we exist only as part of Earth & she needs our help to restore healthy function. Hope for positive outcome to the planetary disaster we have wrought must begin w/ expressing our love & commitment to the Earth we now so badly abuse. bit.ly/3WRTQFD

#Compassion is not merely a #human energy; it is integral to the universe. It requires a #cosmology ...a #planetary perspective is indispensable to our #self-understanding ..."the most that we can do," i.e. our very essence, the very best of ourselves, is to practice compassion. bit.ly/4kxtIcG

"The whole idea of #compassion is based on a keen awareness of the #interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another and all involved in one another." #ThomasMerton, from his final talk delivered 2 hrs before his #martyrdom. #panentheism, #deepecology bit.ly/4kxtIcG

In times like ours, so marked by #apocalyptic goings-on, it is important that we not succumb to #despair or to non-action or to reptilian-brain action-reaction. We need to go deeper w/in our souls... to find what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called "the beloved community." bit.ly/4hkaVA6

#Jesus came out of the #Jewish tradition of seeing God's #immanence everywhere, in forces as simple and powerful as a mustard seed and yeast. Later, as a Rabbi, he took the leap of seeing the Divine Kingdom/Queendom in how one person #relates to another. #nonduality #panentheism bit.ly/453ossb

More Saints I Have Known, part iii - Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox In yesterday’s DM, I continued to share some saints I have interacted with in my life, and invited you to do the same. And in the video yesterday, I pointed out how Père Chenu, the historian and theol...

#LornaByrne, who has seen #angels in her life from the age of two years old, says she sees angels praying on people's shoulders, whether she visits a #mosque or #synagogue or #church or talks to #atheists. Angels are #ecumenical —and so is #holiness. #EverydaySaints bit.ly/4mv0UCo

David Korten: "If any possibility remains that we humans might get it right, let us not go quietly. We are an intelligent, self-reflective species w/ powerful communication networks. This gives us the capacity to learn, change, perhaps become healers to the Earth we have so abused. bit.ly/3WRTQFD

We no longer have to internalize the industrial-era myth that #work is primarily about factories & industry. By paying attention to the question "what are the work needs of our time?" we can launch new ways of doing work, being #workers, making #jobs, compensating work. #NewEconomy bit.ly/3UGWlca

Because OSE is consciously simple & light & not burdened w/ property, bureaucracy can be kept to a minimum & #democracy to a maximum. #Leadership of small local #communities is gender balanced & temporary. Respect for the #individual & his/her decision-making is paramount. bit.ly/4hkaVA6

#Death is a return to our origins, & marks the end of our #work. But death also brings about a melting of our work into the #GreatWork of the #universe and into the work and the work lives of all our #ancestors. bit.ly/3SZVL8J

"Before the Indust. Rev., work was more relational...one cd not survive or thrive on subject/object relationships. Tilling soil or picking vegetables cdbe an inner/outer experience, but driving a tractor turned attention outward...relating to another living being was unnecessary." bit.ly/3SZVL8J

DeirdreBCombs: "#MysticWarriors face stark #realities while trusting in unimaginable #possibility." #FScottFitzgerald: "One shd...be able to see that things are hopeless & yet be determined to make them otherwise." #RebeccaSolnit: "The future is dark, w/ a darkness as much of the womb as the grave."

Original Blessing: A Primer in Creation Spirituality — Welcome from Matthew Fox In this book Matthew Fox lays out a whole new direction for Christianity—a direction that is in fact very ancient and very grounded in Jewish thinking (the fact that Jesus was a Jew is often neglected...

Awe. Wonder. Reverence. Gratitude. Here is the springboard for all #spiritual growth. This is why moving from an #OriginalSin consciousness to an #OriginalBlessing consciousness lies at the heart of our survival as a species today. bit.ly/3X5SbMD

Has humans' relationship w/ Earth already passed the point of no return? Warning signs in the news give good reason to believe it has. But accepting this turns our fear into self-fulfilling prophecy. Better we act w/ urgency, wisdom, courage, & love in service to life & a living Earth bit.ly/3WRTQFD

I wrote 35 yrs ago our mother Earth is dying & our species & #Westernculture... & #speciesnarcissism are responsible. Now ppl across the US & the planet are paying the price while T diverts #FEMA funds to building #concentrationcamps. #climatechange bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Saints I Have Known and Worked With - Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox Reflecting on Joanna Macy’s death has brought to my attention that I have been blessed to work with many saints over my lifetime. I wonder if that is your experience too? I wish to share some of their...

With the news so often highlighting the #evil at work in our midst, it is a good thing to name the #goodness that is also in our midst. I have been blessed to work with many #everydaysaints in my lifetime. I wonder if that is your experience too? #Healers #SacredActivists #Mystics bit.ly/41iUe1R

The OSE is an invitation to commit, first to one's self then to the work of expressing & focusing our unique purposes in the world...It lays the groundwork to live with compassion & helps catalyze & focus energy as a cultural commitment to equality catalyzed the Civil Rights Movement. bit.ly/4hkaVA6

#Resentment is such a powerful force b/c it stems from #love energies denied, driving it as a giant thrust against that which we #hate. As a great misdirection of love, resentment will eventually not be denied; those who exploit it know this. #antichrist bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

"I have a dream [of] #fruittrees growing in many poor countries...so that eventually no children die of #malnutrition nor of sicknesses caused by #vitamindeficiency."

The global #OrderoftheSacredEarth has a monthly virtual #CouncilCall on the last Tuesday of every month, 7-8pm EST. Our vision is to create a #container for #connection & #networking w/ other #mystic-warriors loving, protecting, & defending #MotherEarth. bit.ly/3IMVdRJ

I feature #Hildegard in #Trump And The #MAGA Movement As #AntiChrist b/c she paints & comments on #Christ as archetype of #compassion vs Antichrist wreaking #injustice. Very relevant to modern attacks on #democracy: SCOTUS, election fraud, hatred vs. immigrants: bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

SkylarWilson: "Many are recognizing #discomfort isn't always a bad thing: it often means we're expanding our capacity for empathy. Thru bringing awareness to #injustice & systematic #hatred, we may find new ways of being, more nuanced & open to our togetherness in the #orderoflife." bit.ly/4hkaVA6

Matthew Fox's #ComingOfTheCosmicChrist lists 8 ways Earth Mother is dying; all are pertinent today. #TrumpAndTheMAGAMovementasAntiChrist is dedicated to those committed to saving our Earth: denial of her suffering is killing her, collusion in evil/work of antichrist. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW
