What is creation spirituality?

Invented by Catholic priest Matthew Fox in the 1970s creation spirituality is an unorthodox, earth centred and socially conscious spiritual system which starts with an original blessing instead of an original sin.  Creation Spirituality is not an organisation or affiliation it is a movement.  Creation spirituality uses both spiritual ancient traditions and science to rouse mysticism which is authentic and the revival of both culture and religion.  It also looks to combine western wisdom and spirituality and native cultures to gain an understanding of the world and the universe.

In lay mans terms creation spirituality seeks to bring all cultures together, them who believe and those who disbelieve, those like scientists who seek to prove that there is or is not a god and others that believe that there is a god.  Creation Spirituality brings all of these believers and non believers together to form as one.  

Mathew Fox whom is the creator of creation spirituality is about renewing practices and theologies within culture and religion that enhance wholeness and survival.  There are ten principles which are applied to creation spirituality these are:

1. The universe is something that people should experience as a blessing and is good.
2. Our relationship to the universe is as a whole due to the fact that our relationship with the universe is a microcosm and therefore this ‘intoxicates’ everyone of us.
3. Everyone who is born is capable of recovering wonder as they are born filled with wonder, this makes everyone a mystic.
4. All humans are prophets.
5. Humans have to work are at finding their true spirit self, this can be done through meditation (yoga) to unveil the true you otherwise you have to live in the shadow of what society and everyone else expects of humans.
6. The journey to find our true self is also known as a four fold journey.
7. All humans are artists in one form or another.
8. God is our father and we are all sons and daughters of this great man.
9. Mother and Father is Divinity.
10. The term Divine is applied to all things. 

The divine is also sacred.
