Matthew Fox is a spiritual theologian, an Episcopal priest and an activist for gender justice and eco-justice. He has written 37 books. Among them are Original Blessing, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, A Spirituality Named Compassion, The Reinvention of Work, The Hidden Spirituality of Men, Christian Mystics and The Pope’s War. Most recently, he has published Essential Writings on Creation Spirituality. He is founder of the University of Creation Spirituality in California.

Here he distinguishes creation spirituality from theology based on the fall and redemption of humanity. He discusses his early upbringing in Wisconsin and his education in the midwest. He describes the need for both mysticism – saying “yes” to all aspects of life – and prophecy, saying “no” to injustice. He maintains that all truth comes from the holy spirit. He also emphasizes the importance to exploring the depths and avoiding a superficial life.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “Parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
