Fowl Doctrine - Christ Consciousness (aka, Creation Spirituality)

Christ Consciousness is a panentheistic teaching  promoted by religious heretics. The doctrine teaches that all people have God inside them, waiting to be discovered, liberated, and empowered. One is required to adopt and practice "spiritual disciplines" to unlock and channel the power of one's mind.

Matthew Fox, formerly a Catholic priest, is notorious for his teaching of such doctrines. Fox was denounced by the Roman Catholic Church and subsequently embraced by the Episcopal Church USA . Another major proponent of this teaching is Leonard Sweet, a professor of Evangelism at Drew University. Sweet is also an ordained Methodist minister and leader in the Emergent church.

The language of Creation Spirituality is also found in the principals of The Center for Progressive Christianity.

Oprah Winfrey is currently teaching about Christ Consciousness in her 10-week Internet course on Eckhart Tolle's book, The New Earth.
