Manly P. Hall All Seeing Eye - Book Third

This is Book Third in the series. The All Seeing Eye Book series were complied with graphics and edits by Darrell Jordan, MPS. Manley Hall was born 18 March 1901, in Peterborough, Canada, to William S. and Louise Palmer Hall. The Hall family moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States in 1904. Manly Hall later settled in Los Angeles in 1919.As a young man he became interested in all forms of occult subjects. He subsequently joined a number of societies, among them the Theosophical Society, the Freemasons, the Societas Rosecruciana in Civitatibus Foederatis, and the American Federation of Astrologers. In 1922, Hall wrote his first book: Initiates of the Flame and was collecting all form of esoteric/exoteric/mystical subject matter, in his own words: "late in the fall of 1922, the plan for a comprehensive work on the symbolism of western mystical societies began to take shape in my mind. It soon became apparent that research facilities for such a project were not available in Southern California... The only answer was to contact antiquarian book dealers and elicit their cooperation in the search for the items desired." In 1934 Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society, a research institute modeled on the ancient school of Pythagoras. He was ordained a minister in 1923 to an occult/mystic congregation at the Church of the People in California. In that same year specifically in May 1923, Manly Hall began the membership/student based, not for sale magazine, all written, edited and published by Hall titled the "The All Seeing-Eye." This Book series covers the first year of the All Seeing-Eye magazine for ease of reading. Bear in mind that Manly Hall at this time in 1923 was only 22 years old! Editing was minimal in terms of punctuation and spelling. In some cases, there are made up words (or words that are no longer in use) in which case they were left spelled as is. I'm sure that you will find as did I, that Manly Hall was highly intelligent and possibly bordering on genius. Many of his stories that elucidate a particular subject were written in the first person. Whether or not this was the case, the stories demonstrate either a highly active imagination or perhaps, he did in fact experience what he wrote in the first-person account stories or a combination thereof. Suffice it to say, we are positive you will enjoy the many journeys Manly Hall takes you on. Read more
