Four-Book-Set Manly P. Hall A Seeker of More Intelligent Life, Vol. 1-4 [Special Editor Autographed Copies]

This is a special 4-volume book-set autographed by the Managing Editor. EDITOR'S NOTE This is a book-set of series; Manly P. Hall - A Seeker of More Intelligent Life. Manly Hall was born on 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." We now follow Manly P. Hall from the "All Seeing Eye" book series at the age of 24, to his private lessons for his students in this latest book series, at the age of 32. In this series, Mr. Hall moves from imparting wisdom through stories to a confident, fact-based approach of his findings and understanding of his research. His elucidation exudes confidence and is well written, with it being exceedingly broad in scope. In this series we provide 4 years of lessons condensed into four books. We are positive you will find the information herein to be quite useful in filling in some hidden areas of understanding in religion and history. 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. Suffice it to say, we are positive you will enjoy the many journeys Manly Hall takes you on. 6 x 9 Trade Hardcover: Set of Four Book First Contents Contents INTRODUCTION ..................................................................9 MAY 1, 1934 ........................................................................11 JUNE 1, 1934 ......................................................................16 THOUGHTS FROM A PHILOSOPHER'S SCRAPBOOK ....22 JULY 1, 1934 .......................................................................23 THOUGHTS FROM A PHILOSOPHER'S SCRAPBOOK ....29 AUGUST 1, 1934 .................................................................29 THOUGHTS FROM A PHILOSOPHER'S SCRAPBOOK ....34 SEPTEMBER 1, 1934 ..........................................................36 SOME PHILOSOPHICAL FRAGMENTS .............................42 HEALING - CHAPTER I .......................................................42 PALINGENESIS OF PLANTS ..............................................45 OCTOBER 1, 1934 ...............................................................48 HEALING - CHAPTER II .......................................................55 NOVEMBER 1, 1934 .............................................................61 HEALING - CHAPTER III ......................................................67 DECEMBER 1, 1934 .............................................................74 THE MASTERY OF FEAR - I ................................................80 JANUARY 1, 1935 .................................................................87 THE MASTERY OF FEAR - II ...............................................93 A LITTLE ESSAY ON BEAUTY .............................................98 PARIS, FEBRUARY 1, 1935 ................................................100 THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF SUPERSCIENCE - I .............110 LONDON, MARCH 1, 1935 ..................................................113 THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF SUPERSCIENCE - II ............122 NEW YORK, APRIL 1, 1935 .................................................126 AUTHOR AND MANAGING EDITOR ...................................139 MANLY P.
