  1. #MechtildOfMagdeburg, in the tradition of #originalblessing rather than #originalsin: "From the very beginning God loved us. The Holy Trinity gave itself in the creation of all things and made us, body & soul, in #infinitelove. We were fashioned most nobly." bit.ly/453ossb

  5. #OriginalBlessing begins where the #Bible begins.“Blessing” is the theological word for #goodness, & Genesis 1 sings of the goodness of #creation, praising creation as good, & w/ the arrival of humans, praises the entire circle of creation, humanity included, as very good. bit.ly/4aEOAwk

    There are many wells of #faith & knowledge drawing from one underground river of Divine Wisdom. The practice of honoring, learning, & celebrating the wisdom gathered from these wells is #DeepEcumenism. #CreationSpirituality

  13. #CreationSpirituality begins not with #OriginalSin but w/ #OriginalBlessing: i.e., #life & #existence are #good & indeed "very good" (Gen.1:31). This makes a big difference psychologically & sociologically: OS=self-doubt, despair, dependence vs OB=empowerment & responsibility. #OrderOfTheSacredEarth bit.ly/3WRTQFD

  17. If the world seems not to be holding together—if #greed & #envy & #power-over are overtaking the search for #beauty & #orderliness & #justice–maybe we have to reconnect more fully with our origins, the #cosmos. Maybe we need a civilization that begins with the cosmos & not with us. #OriginalBlessing matthewfox.org/donation-store/

  21. #Pruning creates #strength, richness, depth, tho temporarily pruning hurts & conjures up #doubt & #fear. It takes a wise individual to prune themself according to their unique needs & timing. But from this #lettinggo we become much stronger people. #OriginalBlessing #ViaNegativa bit.ly/3X5SbMD

  24. Rob Brezsny defines #pronoia as “the hypothesis that the universe is conspiring to shower us with #blessings.” This sort of sounds like #OriginalBlessing to me. And it is not about denial of #struggle and #evil, but about how to #survive both. bit.ly/4nU1SJ1

  27. #Doctrine is not the basis of faith or its starting point. Creation is the basis of trust, which is the biblical meaning of faith. Doctrine serves as a parameter, much like the sidelines in a soccer game, within which believers play out their faith. #OriginalBlessing bit.ly/3X5SbMD

  30. 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

  33. The human word is only one among billions of words that God has spoken...To make contact w/ #wisdom is to go beyond human words-which have only existed for 300,000 yrs...(&) return to the many billions of yrs of ongoing creation that also constitute God's talking. #originalblessing bit.ly/3X5SbMD

  36. Just as #justice ensures #order and #balance in the whole of #creation, so does #injustice bring about #chaos; it undoes all of creation. With injustice, "all the foundations of the earth are shaken." (Ps. 82:5b) #OriginalBlessing matthewfox.org/donation-store/

  38. Instead of controlling passions (desire, #moraloutrage/anger), #MeisterEckhart & #CreationSpirituality counsel: Put on the bridle of #love. Don't cut back on the #passion but learn to make it work for you, to take you & the #community into areas where it needs to go. #originalblessing bit.ly/3X5SbMD

  41. Political movements for justice are part of the fuller development of the cosmos; nature is the matrix in which humans awaken to their power to transform. Liberation movements are fuller development of the cosmos's sense of harmony, balance, justice, & celebration. #OriginalBlessing matthewfox.org/donation-store/

  44. “Western civilization has preferred love of #death to love of #life to the extent that its religious traditions have preferred #redemption to #creation, #sin to ecstasy, & individual #introspection to cosmic awareness & #appreciation.” #OriginalBlessing bit.ly/3X5SbMD

  50. The act of Creation was enough on its own to accomplish "salvation." Nothing further needed done.

  54. Three quick thoughts:

    1. We are created in the image of God. Nothing can take that away from us.

    2. Still, we are partial creatures.

    3. But Original Sin is still a Lie.
