Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 -- August 29, 1990) was a Canadian-born author and mystic. He is perhaps most famous for his work The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, published in 1928[1][2] when he was 27 years old.
It is claimed that Hall was made a knight patron of the Masonic Research Group of San Francisco in 1953, although he was not raised as a Mason until 22 November 1954 into Jewel Lodge No. 374 , San Francisco. He later received his 32° in the Valley of San Francisco AASR (SJ).[3] In 1973 (47 years after writing The Secret Teachings of All Ages), Hall was recognized as a 33° Mason (the highest honor conferred by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite), at a ceremony held at the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) on December 8, 1973[4][5]). The definitive Manly Palmer Hall Archive states that Hall received the 33°, "despite never being initiated into the physical craft."[6]
In his over 70-year career, Hall delivered approximately 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles. He appears in the introduction to the 1938 film WHEN WERE YOU BORN, a murder mystery that uses astrology as a key plot point
@Meathead36 I strongly disagree. I've listened to many of his lectures and read many writings of Manly Hall. To Christians anything that does not adhere to salvation through the acceptance of Christ is deemed Luciferian. Manly Hall has lectured on many perceptions of deity. Most of all redemption through self awareness and self responsibility. What Manly proposes is enlightenment through reflection and the realization of one Great Architect of the universe.

In case you can't read between the lines, Manly Hall is a luciferian. He speaks luciferian doctrine. If you understand it, you can detect it almost immediately.

Yeh, I'm starting to know the truth. I agree with you on experiences of refining your emotions, governing your temper & increasing your understanding, joy can be felt from that, and pain from reactions of people if you have no moral conduct. There's a joy of doing what you want without being obedient based on this. Any physical sensations got from the joy or pain of the experience is just as true (just an opinion). I take it further that pleasure makes the experience of your morals more fun.

of course Free Masonry is not free there are yearly dues to pay the rent and fund community programs. Masons allowed the influential men join to fund them that is a Free and accepted Mason. Yoshua(Jesus) was convicted as a heretic in his time for exposing mainstream religion for it's extremest morals and dogma telling the gentile God accepts all men not just the Jew. The message here is the same once you get past semantics

also, it blows my mind that higher philosophy and wisdom of humanity, are basically the same messages in essence, regardless of dialect, language, location, time period, religion or tradition. Almost as if wisdom is a intrinsic law of the universe, in the same way maths, and geometry would be intrinsic to everywhere the universe. maybe its exact values are as measurable as numbers, but we have yet to identify and articulate the pattern.

For anyone who is under the belief that all freemasons, alchemist, magicians are and have always been evil luciferians that control the world through hidden symbolism, i give you Manly Hall, 33rd degree, true freemason and alchemist. Does anyone doubt this mans knowledge, wisdom, logic, compassion, genius, message or intention? Templar reincarnate. Washington, franklin, newton, Jesus. Freemasons.. Royal family, the church, the illumiati. Evil energies that thrive from our struggling
