To recover a spiritual tradition in which creation, and the study of creation, matters would be to inaugurate new possibilities between spirituality and science that would shape the paradigms for culture, its institution, and its people.

Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.
Matthew Fox
Image
The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.
Matthew Fox
Image
Compassion is not pity ... compassion never considers an object as weak or inferior. Compassion, one might say, works from a strength born of awareness of shared weakness, and not from someone else's weakness. And from the awareness of the mutuality of us all. Thus to put down another as in pity is to put down oneself.

We must work on our souls, enlarging and expanding them. We do so by experiencing all of life-the beauty and the joy as well as the grief and pain. Soul work requires paying attention to life, to the laughter and the sorrow, the enlightening and the frightening, the inspiring and the silly.

Prayer is essentially about making the heart strong so that fear cannot penetrate there.
Matthew Fox
Image
A lot of the time I hate acting. It has a lot to do with the way I was brought up in a world where showing your emotions is frowned upon. It's just not manly. I don't do anything in life because I love doing it. It's because I want to be good at it.
Matthew Fox
Image
I'm not saying I want a film career because I think I'm too good for television. I'm simply saying I want more control over my life.
Matthew Fox
Image
Humor and paradox are often the only ways to respond to life's sorrow with grace.
Matthew Fox
Image
I don't think that fundamentalism has anything to do with Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians, but if that's Christian, count me out. Fundamentalism is built on fear and greed. They're telling you to give them your money otherwise you're going to hell.

Image
Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.
Matthew Fox
Image
When our inner self connects to our work and our work to our inner self, the work knows no limit, for the inner self knows no limit.

We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.
