From the author of the landmark Secret Teachings of All Ages comes two classic works on the mysterious origins and unique mission of America: The Secret Destiny of America and America’s Assignment with Destiny.

Focusing on often-forgotten moments in history, Manley P. Hall proposes that there was a Great Plan put forth one thousand years before our nation’s founding: humanistic and mystical organizations wished for the continent to be the location for an experiment in self-government and religious freedom.

As one of the leading esoteric scholars of the twentieth century, Hall offers an intriguing view of our past, discussing everything from the symbolism of the Great Seal of the U.S. to the prophecy announced at George Washington’s birth.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) founded the Philosophical Research Society in 1934, a non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of useful knowledge in the fields of philosophy, comparative religion and psychology. In his long career, spanning more than 70 years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles.

Many of Mr. Hall's lectures have been transcribed and are available as pamphlets; others were taped live, and the audio recordings are available on CD's as well. He is perhaps best known for his 1928 classic, "The Secret Teachings of All Ages," an encyclopedia of the world's wisdom traditions and symbolic disciplines.

Today, younger generations are re-discovering the works and words of Manly Hall, finding that the material he put forth so many years ago is still relevant and useful today. Mr. Hall's hope for humanity was to learn from the greatest minds of all times so that we may solve current problems - both in society and in the individual - today.

Manly Hall was an obviously great researcher, I mean awesome, I have read others like this and seen documentaries but this is loaded with so much stuff I did not know about. This, along with America’s assignment of Destiny (Hall) we’re awesome books I highly recommend. Mitch Horowitz is also an excellent writer and researcher (also PRS), highly recommend Occult America.

It All Makes Sense...

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

As someone who has been labeled a "conspiracy theorist" more than once in my life, this book seems to connect alot of dots for me. Manly P. Hall has uncovered a master plan, of sorts, that makes sense of the current situation in this country. However, I will forewarn you that if you are the type person who casually dabbles in the "would our government REALLY do that?" genre, you might not want to read this book. If you absorb the words, secure their meaning, and start checking off the mental boxes you have always had regarding certain events, you WILL instantly want to be fitted for your own tin-foil hat. (I consider it a badge of honor)

There is nothing conspiratorial about factual data.. it is the How, Where, and When that is important. Hall provides you with the Why.....

'great book....

This book is a good investment of your time

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

I've read numerous books on the subject of Freemasons, Illuminati, end-times etc, so I was not expecting anything new or different when I picked up this book. Manly P. Hall, however, turns the table on the subject of Freemasonry, pointing out its original NOBLE goals. This was not the slant I was expecting, and it led me to conclude that the benevolent mission of the Freemasons has been thwarted over time. A VERY interesting read. You owe it to yourself...read this book... originally published in 1944. It is very enlightening!

Verified Purchase

This is without a doubt a truth most delusional white,and some colored post Carter, would rather avoid. As colored became amalgamated into American society[note: Compare attire of 1950s to 21st century], they has become just as materialistic, criminalistic, intellectually and spiritually deprived to any other. I digress! In a h'Satanic multicultural america , such will become more military/police snoop involvement. In other words a very complex Zymbobway(spelling) type delusion.

Peace bound train in America

Reviewed in Canada on May 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I retread this book a few times and shared it with my family and friends. The explanations within about the origins of democracy, the worlds first democrat, the first election of lawmakers in Athens, the ancient League of Nations written of by Plato et al is very timely material. Discussions of the Greek Dionysians and what caused guilds like The Order of the Quest to go into secrecy are also found within these pages.

Throughout the book each topic that is discussed leads up to the reason why America is and was a chosen land even before it was taken over by Europeans. Nostradamus prophesied it based on earlier Platonic traditions. Utopias and a place where freedom of speech and religion could be practised were much sought after as discussed by Sir Thomas More and Boccalini.

Bacon called it the New Atlantis which leads the reader to ponder whether it will end the same.

Then the author does something unprecedented in modern history texts and discusses the fact that the ancient Maya's were the most advanced race who hold the world record for 500 years of continued peace. then explains that our constitution was originally modelled after their method of utopia.

Mysterious men appear and disappear at monumental moments in history such as the design of the American flag, the prophetic reins of Benjamin Franklin and Abe Lincoln by Sir William Hope, and hidden messages about Francis Bacon in certain historical texts. The role of Thomas Paine in assisting Jefferson with the Declaration of Independence and an unknown entity who swayed the vote for that same declaration.

The book ends with a discussion of the dream of General McClellan and the end of the quest when all shall abide together in peace.
