In this episode, Brynn Anderson and I listen to a very rare lecture from the legendary author, philosopher, and so much more.. Manly P. Hall. This lecture, recorded just a few years before his death, takes a deep dive into the concept of the human mind. What is the mind?- and what are it's functions? From where does mind power exist? Are we controlling our mind, or is our mind controlling us? All of these questions are addressed.. As well as: What is the nature of addiction? Are physical ailments a product of the bodies disharmony with Universal Law? What happens when mind power is directed toward a positive outcome? Manly continues with his thoughts on the mechanisms, both spiritual and physical, of the mind and how to harness that force for spiritual advancement and the betterment of mankind. An incredible episode! As Brynn and I listen to this lecture with you, we are taking notes -reconvening at the end to discuss what we learned..

This lecture was recorded June 1, 1986 in Los Angeles, CA

Manly P. Hall Bio:

Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a renowned philosopher, author, and mystic who delved deeply into esoteric traditions and spiritual knowledge. Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, a monumental work that explores the symbolic meanings behind myths, religions, alchemy, mysticism, and secret societies.

Hall's ability to synthesize complex spiritual ideas from diverse traditions made him a unique figure in the 20th-century spiritual landscape. Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.

In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.

Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions. Despite passing away in 1990 under mysterious circumstances, Hall's influence remains significant among students of esoteric and philosophical studies.
