“I Am” Prayers From Aboriginal Poets of Australia 3/20/2025 |
As the impacts of the new regime ripple out, learn the deeper stakes involved. Get your copy of Trump & the MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ! Choose your format in the book block below. |
In a time of evil and antichrist energy active in MAGA in the highest places of our land, it is good to resist, and to resist from a place of strength. This is spiritual warriorhood. |
One way to resist the antichrist and its energies is to identify evil for what it is. “Do you create or do you destroy?” Dag Hammarskjold, the second and youngest-ever secretary general of the UN and a mystic in his own right (and an avid student of Meister Eckhart), asked some 70
years ago. |

Where there is destruction and a great unraveling as there is now in America and as Hildegard painted 850 years ago in her painting of the antichrist, there needs to be its counterpart: Order and justice, which is a moral order and the foundation for the common good. And spiritually strong
people, spiritual warriors, who stand up to injustice and lies and the oppression of the poorest among us. To stand up to power and speak truth to power takes inner strength. For this reason, we have been offering this week some strong prayer medicine found in the traditions of “I Am” prayers which we find in the Gospels, in Celtic and Christian mystics and also in Sacred Scriptures of the East. We also find “I Am” prayers among aboriginals of Australia. Hyllus Maris speaks this poem: |
“Wild Oranges” by Clarabelle Swift of the Arande Tribe, Alice Springs, Australia. Original painting gifted to Matthew Fox. | I am a child of the Dreamtime People
Part of the Land, like the gnarled gumtree
I am the river, softly
singing
Chanting our songs on my way to the sea
My spirit is the dust-devils
Mirages, that dance on the plain
I’m the snow, the wind and the falling
rain |
I’m part of the rocks and the red desert earth
Red as the blood that flows in my veins
I am eagle crow and snake that glides
Through the rain-forest that clings to the mountainside
I awakened there when the earth was new
There was emu, wombat, kangaroo
No other man of a different hue
I am this land
And this land is me
I am Australia. Aboriginal poet Kevin Gilbert offers this poem called “Tree.” |
I am the tree
the lean hard hungry land
the crow and eagle
sun and moon and sea
I am the sacred
clay
which forms the base
the grasses vines and man
I am all things created
I am you and |
|
you are nothing
but through me the tree
you are
and nothing comes to me except through that one living gateway
to be free
and you are nothing yet
for all creation
earth and God and
man
is nothing
until they fuse
and become a total sum of something
together fuse to consciousness of all
and every sacred part aware
alive in true affinity. |

Queries for Contemplation |
Pray these prayers. Do they strengthen and deepen your connection to the Source? If they do, they are part of your resistance to Evil in all its manifestations. |
One River, Many Wells: Wisdom Springing from Global Faiths
Matthew Fox calls on all the world traditions for their wisdom and their inspiration in a work that is far more
than a list of theological position papers but a new way to pray—to meditate in a global spiritual context on the wisdom all our traditions share. Fox chooses 18 themes that are foundational to any spirituality and demonstrates how all the world spiritual traditions offer wisdom about each.“Reading One River, Many Wells is like entering the rich silence of a masterfully directed retreat. As you read this text, you reflect, you pray, you embrace Divinity. Truly no words can fully
express my respect and awe for this magnificent contribution to contemporary spirituality.” –Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit |
|
The Coming of the Cosmic Christ: The Healing of Mother Earth and the Birth of a Global Renaissance
In what may be considered the
most comprehensive outline of the Christian paradigm shift of our Age, Matthew Fox eloquently foreshadows the manner in which the spirit of Christ resurrects in terms of the return to an earth-based mysticism, the expression of creativity, mystical sexuality, the respect due the young, the rebirth of effective forms of worship—all of these mirroring the ongoing blessings of Mother Earth and the recovery of Eros, the feminine aspect of the Divine.
“The eighth wonder of the world…convincing proof that our Western religious tradition does indeed have the depth of imagination to reinvent its faith.” — Brian Swimme, author of The Universe Story and Journey of the Universe.
“This book is a classic.” Thomas Berry, author of The Great Work and The Dream of the Earth. |

Stations of the Cosmic Christ
By Matthew Fox and Bishop Marc Andrus.
This is a book of meditations on the
Cosmic Christ, accompanying the images of 16 wonderful clay tablets by Javier Ullrrich Lemus and M.C. Richards. Together, these images and meditations go far beyond the traditional Stations of the Cross to inspire a spirit awakening and understanding of the cosmic Christ Consciousness, Buddha consciousness, and consciousness of the image of God in all beings, so needed in our times.
“A divinely inspired book that
must be read by every human being devoted to spiritual and global survival. It is cosmically brilliant.” — Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit

Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election Matthew Fox tells us
that he had always shied away from using the term “Anti-Christ” because it was so often used to spread control and fear. However, given today’s rise of authoritarianism and forces of democracide, ecocide, and christofascism, he turns the tables in this book employing the archetype for the cause of justice, democracy, and a renewed Earth and humanity. For immediate access to Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election, order the e-book with 10 full-color prints from Amazon HERE. To get a print-on-demand paperback copy with black & white images, order from Amazon HERE or IUniverse HERE. To receive a limited-edition, full-color paperback copy, order from MatthewFox.org HERE.

Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Transforming Evil in Soul and Society
Visionary theologian and best-selling
author Matthew Fox offers a new theology of evil that fundamentally changes the traditional perception of good and evil and points the way to a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another, and all of nature. In comparing the Eastern tradition of the 7 chakras to the Western tradition of the 7 capital sins, Fox allows us to think creatively about our capacity for personal and institutional evil and what we can do about them.
“A scholarly masterpiece embodying a better vision and depth of perception far beyond the grasp of any one single science. A breath-taking analysis.” — Diarmuid O’Murchu, author of Quantum Theology: Spiritual Implications of the New Physics |
