About this Item

Autograph; 104 pages; Inscribed and Signed by the author on titlepage "To Gilbert / with deepest appreciation / Manly P. Hall / 1-10-82" Clean and secure in publisher's printed yellow wrappers. This work on classical paganism explores the "lost" period of mystical tradition, between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, in the search for a better understanding of man's place in the Divine Plan. It highlights the significance of various Mystery Schools, particularly the Eleusinian Mysteries, and their impact on classical learning and ethics. The text also explores the connections between these ancient rites and later traditions, including Freemasonry and the teachings of notable figures like St. Paul and Pythagoras. As Mr. Hall states in his preface, "One of the teachings of the initiate tradition in Greece related to the mystery of time. The temple did not divide duration into past, present, and future. Divine and universal laws manifest themselves in an eternal now. Enlightenment belongs to no generation, nor does it increase or diminish." ; Signed by Author.
