- Between Animal and Man by Dr. Michael Fox
Between Animal and Man is an inspiring intellectual insight and explanation of mankind's oft forgotten or denied link with nature and the subsequent consequences that could result from such an oversight. The author, Dr. Michael Fox, explores man - the animal - and explains how he has become indifferent and distanced from his earthly companions. This lack of oneness and existential understanding with nature has been lost and hidden beneath the distracting and banal practises of aculturated society. Fox discusses the need to look inside oneself to find the true link that unites all living things as one unique gastalt...and how in so doing we may find god. With references to many religious idiologies, visionaries and primitive thinkers he delves beneath the facade of normal working society and forces the reader to question and confront the deep emptiness of the inner mind that cries out for salvation.
First one must look back to nature and at the world as a child would, find the innocence and marvel within oneself, without the materialistic blinkers that have misguided mankind from the path of enlightenment and the true understanding of the self and all things.
Fox does not deny technology and progression its place but questions how humanity has taken a wrong turn and explains how it can be readjusted so that progression can take place in a world where respect, reverance and equality is the right given to all living beings. Life and death must be truly justified and the enjoyment of being and experiencing all wonders and cultures overides and displaces the mundane, spiritless tasks that exude from a capitalist society. If these issues are not addressed and our responsibilies as humans not acknowledged then we leave a barren world for our children to inherit, and deny them the priveledge of seeking and finding the deeper truths of life. Then human spiritual evolution ceases, and mankind functions as if robotic. Nature, humanity, and oneness with god is lost forever.
Between Animal and Man is a must read for anyone who has felt the love and deeper sensations of animal companionship, a walk in the country or witnessed the innocent creative beauty of a child. For them there will be a new awakening - and the satiation of the deep, relenless cries of the soul.
