1925. Hall, the American philosopher, in over a period of 20 years of dynamic public activity, has steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can only be perfected when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation and worthy purpose. The Hermetic Marriage explains certain alchemical symbols in the nature of all things. Taking the chemistry of human relationships as the basis, this essay describes the true preparation of a Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life, according to the fundamentals laid down by Hermes and the ancient Egyptian priestcraft.

From the Publisher
The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934 for the purpose of assisting thoughtful persons to live more graciously and constructively in a confused and troubled world. The Society is entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control. Dedicated to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems, the Society's program stresses the need for the integration of religion, philosophy, and the science of psychology into one system of instruction. The goal of this instruction is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, to recognize his proper responsibilities and opportunities, and to understand and appreciate his place in the unfolding universal pattern.
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.

Marriage of the Sun and Moon,
By
This review is from: The Hermetic Marriage (Adept Series) (Paperback)
This short work is on the Hermetic Marriage of the Androgyne, or in other terms, the making whole of the mind and body, left and right, above and below. Manly Hall, who explains this process in extreme practical clarity discusses the history and origins of Hermetics, as well as its philosophy through anatomy. He also illuminates some examples of literature and its alchemical symbolism within. The core of the understanding is the alchemical trine of salt, sulphur, and mercury. By fusing or mixing these together, you create the elixir of life or philosopher's stone. In the end the aim is towards a spiritual life that is fused with the phsyical life. As the alchemical adage of the times was, "Make fire to burn in the water, and the water to feed the fire. In this lies great wisdom."
