About this title

About the Author

Manly P. Hall was the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. In over seventy-five years of dynamic public activity, he delivered more than 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, and authored countless books, essays, and articles. In his lectures and writings, Manly Hall always emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion as they applied to daily living. He restated for modern man those spiritual and ethical doctrines which have given humanity its noblest ideals and most adequate codes of conduct. Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Manly Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose.

From the Back Cover

Illumination is as natural as life itself, but enlightened living is only possible when we perceive the reason for living. This reason cannot be supplied by the mind or the senses. It can be discovered only through communication with the inner Self. The purpose of this book is to develop awareness and thoughtfulness as a part of the student. Those disciplines are not to be practiced as rituals, but as inherent qualities until they become as natural as eating and digestion. The doctrines of this work are drawn primarily from Oriental sources and augmented with teachings from Pythagoras and Plato. All of the techniques have been adapted to modern Western life, excluding things only appropriate to a more contemplative and less pressured existence. The practice of metaphysical discipline will not remove life'' problems but will help to face and solve them honestly.
