A KEY TO THE MYSTERIES

No other book in history has done more to clarify the Esoteric, mystical, and occult traditions of the world than Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Now, historian Mitch Horowitz provides the first companion work to Hall’s opus. The Secret Teachings of All Ages helps twenty=first-century readers enter and experience (or re-experience) Hall’s hallowed pages and also clarifies and expands on some of the book’s key themes and topics.

Mitch explores developments and historical discoveries since hall published his “Great Book” nearly a century ago and adds fresh dimensions to subjects including:

• The antiquity and legacy of Ancient Egypt.
• The mystical origins of the world’s major faiths.
• Strange beasts and anomalies in history and today.
• The origins and esotericism of Tarot.
• Secret Societies in Myth and Fact.
• The enduring relevance of astrology.

Authorized by Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society, The Secret Teachings of All Ages is a feast of esoteric exploration on its own and a worthy companion to history’s unparalleled encyclopedia arcana.

“Has the rare gift of making the esoteric accessible to discerning masses.” –HuffPost

“…from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved”

Considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology, On the Origin of Species, was published in 1859. This work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection.

In this seminal work, considered to be the groundwork of evolutionary biology, Darwin unveils his revolutionary theory, illuminating the intricate mechanisms driving the diversity of life on Earth. It gave evidence that the variety of life resulted from a common descent via a branching model of evolution. Darwin incorporated facts that he had collected on the Beagle mission in the 1830s and his succeeding findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.

In his theory of natural selection, Darwin challenged orthodox thought in stating that no being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with extinction looming for those who are not fit for the task. Yet, there is also a humane and inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness. Revealed are the complex mutual interdependencies between animal and plant life, climate and physical environment, and—by implication—within the human world.

This timeless masterpiece remains one of the founding documents of the modern ages. It is both engaging and enlightening, combining science with the subtlety of literature and continues to captivate and inspire not only scientific inquiry, but curious minds throughout the world.

Darwin consolidated a lifetime of work in On the Origin of Species, compiling his discoveries from the voyage of the Beagle, his experiments, research and correspondence. He argues for the transmutation of species over time by the process of natural selection. His work laid the foundation of evolutionary biology, though when it was published it caused tremendous religious and philosophical debates. Darwin's work is still seen by many people to oppose Christian beliefs.

Originally written in1754 for an essay competition run by the Dijon Academy of Arts and Sciences, Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men by the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a strikingly original inquiry into politics and human nature.

The Discourse presents a theoretical view of people in a pre-social condition and the ensuing effects of civilization. Rousseau's sweeping account of humanity's social and political development is one of the most influential and provocative works of the eighteenth century.

To answer the question: "What is the origin of inequality among men, and is it authorized by the natural law?" Rousseau addresses both natural and moral inequality. Rousseau argues that moral inequalities of rank, wealth, and power are the inevitable result of the civilizing process. His cynical view of civil society contends that man has strayed from his "natural state" of individual independence and freedom to satisfy his individual needs and desires.

Rousseau eloquently shows how inequality robs us not only of our material goods but also our psychological independence. While we cannot return to a simpler time, measuring the costs of progress may help us imagine alternatives to the corruption and oppressive conformity of modern society in order to recover the peaceful self-sufficiency of life.
