Manly Hall - The Search for the Essential Meaning of Life

Manly Palmer Hall 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, which is widely regarded as his magnum opus, and which he published at the age of 27.

He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar in the fields of religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult.

In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, California, dedicating it to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems. The PRS claims to be non-sectarian and entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control, and the Society's programs stress the need for the integration of philosophy, religion, and science into one system of instruction. The PRS Library, a public facility devoted to source materials in obscure fields, has many rare and scarce items now impossible to obtain elsewhere.

In 1973 (47 years after writing The Secret Teachings of All Ages), Hall was recognized as a 33º Mason (the highest honor conferred by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite), at a ceremony held at PRS on December 8th, despite never being initiated into the physical craft.

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.

This is the Luciferian Philosophy that he is teaching, guys. None of it is provable. Hall was a 33rd Degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite. When You question these things that he debates, he brings doubt on absolute truths. "Seek Ye the Truth and the Truth shall make You free". There is no Truth in Manly Palmer Hall.

@slnixon3

You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about, sir.. Please free yourself from the restraints on your mind before you try to seek the truth. The Christian mythos have been covering up too much of the old teachings. It is not evil! That is just a way for the religion to keep you from wanting to look at the information! Just like you are doing here...

Good luck on your path.

@MPHarchive Christianity is the 'old teachings.' It's only been misrepresented but it's all there in Christianity complete and total.

[MPHarchive]

@erndzzl13 That is correct. But if one follow this tradition to the letter, it is easy to fall into the belief that other wisdom traditions are evil works of the devil - for this is a side-effect of the Christian belief, if it is not fully understood in a larger context. People need to wake up from their religious inhibitions!

Somebody said the same thing in a commentary about Jordan Maxwell(!)

BIG up to manly palmer hall for what he SPEAKS about,

as he explains in a truthful way about thoughts that we link every day...the little things in life....

thats Manly P Hall the way i have heard him so far;-)

[Serapherus]

@erndzzl13 Yes, yes, and we're sure the stories of Krishna, Horus, Buddha, Quetzalcoatl, Tammuz, Dumuzi, Dionysus-Bacchus, Baldur, Orpheus, and others aren't older teachings. Yes Christianity is a misrepresentation... of OLDER teachings. Get out of here, Christianity is recent plagiarism that didn't bother to copy everything of its source. To truly see "all that is there," we must look at its source, Sumer, cradle of civilization and religion.
