Esoteric Go To Guide – The Secret Teachings of All Ages

Originally published in 1928, Manly P. Hall’s, The Secret Teachings of All Ages was previously only available in a handsomely bound, large size and expensive edition. Though certainly a collector’s item and treasure for any library, I was happy to discover that Penguin with the Philosophical Research Society has republished the book in a paperback version, making it affordable for the masses.

Hall’s ‘encyclopedia’ covers the esoteric mysteries from around the world, including ancient occult traditions, esoteric mystery schools and temples, religion and philosophy, ancient symbols and myths, and offers a glimpse into a vast library of teachings including Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrusian symbolic philosophy.

From the Druidic mysteries of ancient Britain, to the Gnostics, Mithras, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and Plato’s ponderings, to the Oracle of Delphi, Pythagorus, and Egypt, the 755 page tome answers many questions for the aspiring occult or esoteric student and includes illustrations.

Author Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) was widely regarded as a a sage and teacher, steeped in the wisdom of antiquity and one of the leading esoteric scholars of the twentieth century. In 1934, he founded the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, which continues to publish Hall’s many works and pursue his educational mission.

Human, Know Thyself, Pearls of Wisdom

In the esoteric teachings, hidden meanings are layered into each lesson which are described as “pearls of wisdom”. The pearls are uncovered through the process of peeling back the layers, like an onion. These pearls are designed to wake you up, to make you think and to entice you to spend some time contemplating who you are along with the significance of your life.

I’d like to share a thought to ponder from the teachings with you here each week, that I’ll refer to as Pearl Onions…

Here’s this week’s offering  entitled:

Hu-Man, Know Thyself

The ancients taught about the cyclical nature of our world, referring to the seasons as they turned throughout the year. Like the seasons, we are always in the process of creating and recreating with our active/solar side and our passive/lunar side in order to achieve balance.

As humans, we must balance between periods of contemplation and introspection versus a time to take action and create, not only to nourish ourselves, but others as well.  It is called natural order.

The problems begin when we spend too much time in either of these directions, as it causes us to become out of balance.

If we stay active all of the time, there is no time for the mind, body and spirit to spend in inner contemplation and self examination. In this over-active state, we are unable to digest and process what we have experienced thus far in life.

In the other direction, if we remain too still, spending too much time in thought with no action following, we miss the opportunities provided for us to grow and expand our consciousness as only we can do in the physical world here on the earth plane.  In this state we run the risk of stagnating and entering a state which psychologists describe as analysis paralysis.

In modern life today, we have become experts in knowing how to keep and look busy in order to appear to the outside world that our life is full and to ignore the inner longings of the soul who whispers to us in the quiet of night and asks why we do not feel complete and at peace.  Then, after we run so hard for so long until our energy is depleted, we  turn to stimulants and distractions to keep from thinking about how we feel. The opportunities to do this are more plentiful than ever today with television, the internet, video games, the list goes on and on. As an example, if put to a test, many men can quote sports scores and trivia at great length and many women can quote celebrity gossip with the same intensity. Yet how many can answer the simplest of questions including – Why Don’t I Feel Happy?

The ancients extended this pearl of wisdom to students in the mystery temples to ponder for themselves, by reflecting upon the seasons and going within. I invite you to do the same, take some time this week to check your balance.

You may ask, why open this inner door?

I offer as one example, the following excerpt from my book, 9 Life Altering Lessons: Secrets of the Mystery Schools Unveiled:

“When we activate our consciousness, the all seeing eye of the universe then becomes aware of us and looks back at us! When we transform and become conscious creators, the energy transforms into an ocean of energy, rather than only previously receiving drops of water from the magical universe”.

“In that Moment of Awareness, Everything Changes”.

Kala Ambrose has performed a marvelous service for all those wish a working knowledge of the venerable wisdom teachings. Respectfully, reverently, Kala distills the essence of many of these mystery schools into 9 Life Altering Lessons.
