4.0 out of 5 stars Illuminating though slightly flawed, 19 May 2007
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This book by the great metaphysical teacher deals with practicing the presence of God and much more besides. It explains the technique of scientific prayer and explores allegorical interpretations of Biblical passages. Amongst the most interesting are those on the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the book of Genesis, the seven days of creation, Adam and Eve, the tower of Babel, and the Zodiac as a great cosmic symbol serving as a diagram for the unfolding of the human soul. The symbolism of the number 12 is also considered here.

Fox focuses exclusively on the esoteric symbolic exegesis, but for the seeker of truth it is important to understand that there are many layers of meaning in the Judeo-Christian scriptures, and that the literal is often equally valid or relevant. In this regard it is always helpful to study the way in which the Hebrew sages approach the text, in both the Talmud and the Zohar.

Other chapters of valuable insight include the Seven Main Aspects of God and the Magic of Tithing. Amongst the best passages are those that warn against false teachers and provide guidelines to discern the false from the true, and the section on the precession of the equinoxes and the long, mostly unknown history of mankind. The most comforting chapter: God The Deliverer, is a discussion of Psalm 18.

This book was first published in 1931. On pages 116 and 117 of my 1950 edition, Fox deals with the great changes to come and their timing. Unfortunately here he has been proved wrong, as he maintained that the most revolutionary and far-reaching upheavals in the circumstances of human life "will be over and done with in from twenty to twenty-five years from now." I am not aware of any major changes of such significance that occurred anytime between 1951 and 1956, unless he meant the coming of Elvis!

That failure in timing aside, Alter Your Life is still a great read on various levels. Besides the first 14 chapters dealing with spirituality and the immanence of God, the last two discuss the American spirit and the historical destiny of the United States. I found these particularly illuminating, especially the author's views on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and his detailed explanation of the symbolism found on the currency and the Great Seal of the United States. This section includes illustrations.

In the last few pages, he sounds a warning that seems to be ignored these days. He perceived that there was only one real danger to the USA - grave division among her people. He maintains that such a danger cannot arise as long as the American people are careful never to allow party spirit to become so embittered that the destruction of political enemies seems more important than the safety of the country.

An orderly democratic state will only endure as long as the people loyally accept the verdict of the majority of their fellow citzens when expressed constitutionally, and loyally support those who are elected to office, whether they like them personally or not. In his own words: "Any other attitude is really to put a faction before the nation, and if this is not disloyalty, what is?" He further warns that any newspaper, politician or group that unduly fan the flames of sectarian or political bitterness is to be distrusted. This is an appropriate warning, more relevant than ever in these uncertain times.
