Manly P. Hall: Victory of the Soul Over Circumstance


Manly P. Hall: Victory of the Soul Over Circumstance

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, which is widely regarded as his magnum opus, published in 1928 when he was just 27 years old.

He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar in the fields of religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult. Carl Jung, when writing Psychology and Alchemy, borrowed material from Hall's private collection.

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.

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.

Philosophers

"Man may live two lives. One is a struggle from the womb to the tomb. Its span is measured by man's own creation-time. Well may it be called the unheeding life. The other life is from realization to infinity. It begins with understanding, its duration is forever, and upon the plane of eternity it is consummated. This is called the philosophic life. Philosophers are not born nor do they die; for once having achieved the realization of immortality, they are immortal. Having once communed with Self, they realize that within there is an immortal foundation that will not pass away. Upon this living, vibrant base-Self-they erect a civilization which will endure after the sun, the moon, and the stars have ceased to be. The fool lives but for today; the philosopher lives forever."
Manly P. Hall

Thanks Figgz you freaking rock! *guitar solo*

Daily Dedroidify: Balance

Daily Dedroidify: Balance (see the page for much more, this is just a small excerpt)

Funny how our western culture likes to emphasize EXTREMES when balance is the key to a good soul, ain't it?

"The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man."
Euripides

"So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Moderation is the secret of survival."
Manly P. Hall

"The word happiness would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." Carl Gustav Jung

"There’s no secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves." Frank Herbert

"Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity." Socrates

"Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance." Epicurus

"What I dream of is an art of balance." Henri Matisse

Funny Google Searches

These are some funny google searches that my counter registered. I encourage all connection searches, no matter how 'weird', especially so some can be used to spread some laughs even if little is learned.

manly p. hall debunked, good luck with that hehe.
john lilly illuminati, or the opposite :p ECCO are the supposed good guys yo.
michael persinger is wrong, lol! Well if it's a comfort I'm sure he's wrong about something.
ctrl alt del meditation, I guess that was about the webcomic. I still hope my free-tru-luv catches on :p
cars pixar disney, the person searching this probably wasn't expecting chemtrails in his results.
we live in time loop experiences repeat, the karmic theory does suggest lessons are repeated until learned, pointing to this awesome article from meta-logic cafe.
martin thuther king, Thuther Thoughts? ;p
zeitgeist debunked, by offended Christians doing a piss poor job at it, there's even an hour and a half docu with selective consciousness for folks that want their religious BS restored.

And the one to top it all off: illuminati kundalini
I found this hilarious site called Jesus-is-savior.com, it's quite easy to debunk any aspect of reality if your filters are this rigid:
"Kundalini Yoga--The Mother Power (My book review, and rebuttal. Many ignorant people go to yoga classes. You cannot separate the Devil from yoga! The only kind of meditation Christians are supposed to do is meditating on God's word. Not clearing your mind out so a devil can come in!)"
