Note: 
00:00:00 Audio begins in the middle of Matthew Fox instructing the audience in meditative movement and breathing. 00:04:00 Fox opens the lecture up to comments and questions from the audience. 00:04:19 An audience member asks Fox to expand on the point he made about bubbles and the universe. In response Fox discusses the breaking down of boundaries, post-modernism, and Newtonian physics. 00:09:25 An audience member asks Fox to elaborate on the physics of mass and spirituality. Fox discusses the relationship between science, spirituality, and art. Fox quotes Ernesto Cardenal, Thomas Aquinas, bell hooks, and René Descartes to explain the science and spirituality's relationship. 00:18:33 An audience member asks Fox what he recommends breaking out of the boxes we are stuck in. Fox discusses ritual, Techno Cosmic Mass, and meditation as means of letting go which helps release people from their boxes. 00:30:02 An audience member comments on loss. Fox discusses death and reincarnation and his mother's passing. 00:35:17 An audience member asks about the oxymoronic nature of politics in America and why people can't meet in the middle against division and how this affects work. Fox discusses bringing spiritual practices and values into work and education and the form of these institutions that need changing. 00:50:06 An audience member asks about what can be done to awaken scientists to have a social conscious. Fox discusses including spirituality in all education and to be more cautious with scientific breakthroughs. 00:55:17 An audience member asks about whether everything that's happening is happening as it should be (i.e. determinism). Fox discusses how both free choice and determinism exist in and influence the universe. 01:00:05 End of recording.
