Matthew Fox believes that one way to perpetuate a feeling of unity is through compassion. Not a sentimental, do-nothing compassion. Fox brings back the intended meaning of compassion in his book, A Spirituality Named Compassion. This kinship in turn urges us to celebrate our kinship. As Ram Dass's life exemplifies through his devotion to service and as Fox readily indicates, true compassion is action-based.
Spirituality is creativity.
Just as compassion is a way of life, Fox claims that creativity is also. Creativity is equally necessary to a spiritual life. F. David Peat in Synchronicity compares creativity to a spring of water. Creativity is the very essence of each aspect of reality. Like the pure spring that bubbles out of the rock unbidden, this creativity has no necessity and no end, and pervades ail of existence.
