“The world knows many religions, but Nature has but one Truth. All so-called faiths and doctrines are contributing to the knowledge of that one Truth. All are expressing one ideal through a multitude of tongues. There is a babel on the earth, but there is only one voice in the heavens. All faiths are seeking to answer one question: ‘What is the purpose of existence?’ Each answers it differently. When all are gathered together in their diversities, Truth is established, for Truth is the sum of all these things. Reality is all things unto all men.”
– Manly Palmer Hall
Manly Palmer Hall, a man who wrote, published and lectured intensively on the ancient belief systems, mythologies and philosophies that undergird much of human thinking until today. Born in Canada at the turn of the 20th Century, Mr. Hall’s life’s work is a study in the deep waters of the invisible and visible worlds. At age 72, Mr. Hall was recognized as a 33° Mason in the Scottish Rite. Manly Palmer Hall was a lifelong student of religion, metaphysics and the occult and, in 1934, he founded the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, the city where he died at age 89 in 1990.
