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.

“You Are What You Believe”

This slender, immensely powerful volume collects two of Neville Goddard’s (1905-1972) most direct statements on using the reality-shaping capacities of your mind: Prayer: The Art of Believing (1945) and The Search (1946).

Both works were written at the peak of the teacher’s career and each is simultaneously visionary and ardently practical.

In Prayer (1945), Neville teaches how to move from the practice of “vain repetitions” to the feeling state or controlled reverie that ensures the arrival of your wishes.

The master mystic describes not only how prayer works but why it works: whatever the psyche believes must correspond to what the seeker experiences in outer life. “Assume the mood of fulfilled desire,” Neville writes, “and by the universal law of reversibility you will realize your desire.”

The art of prayer is simple—yet explosive: “The seemingly harmless habit of ‘talking to yourself’ is the most fruitful form of prayer . . . Man creates himself out of his own imagination.”

In The Search, Neville describes how he came to realize the extraordinary creative powers of the mind—and how these abilities are the birthright of all people. In Neville’s discovery, you may find your own.

This volume also includes fully corrected and updated versions of occult scholar Mitch Horowitz’s biographical essay on Neville, “Chariot of Fire,” and his timeline of Neville’s life. “In my study of different occult and mystical systems,” Mitch writes, “. . . the most impactful, elegant, simplest, and dramatically powerful figure I have come across is Neville Goddard.” In the span of a single sitting, this volume can completely reorient and reinvigorate your life.

Western drama, having all but disappeared during the Dark Ages, reemerged spontaneously in the liturgy and life of the medieval church during the Tudor period. These 15th and 16th century morality plays were allegorical dramas in which the protagonists are met with the personifications of personal attributes and tasked with choosing either a good and godly life or evil. Everyman, which was written anonymously in the 15th century, is the most famous example of these.

The play tells the story of a wealthy and successful man who is suddenly confronted by Death. Realizing that he must face final judgment on the strength of his good deeds, Everyman seeks the help of his friends and family, but they all abandon him in his time of need.

During Everyman's pilgrimage to God to seek redemption, he meets many characters, including Fellowship, Good Deeds, and Knowledge. Everyman asks them all to join him in his journey so that he may improve his reckoning before God, but in the end, it is only Good Deeds that stays with him and helps Everyman find salvation and eternal life.

This powerful allegory explores the themes of death, sin, and the human condition and is considered one of the greatest works of medieval English literature, It has been widely studied and performed for centuries.

As You Like It by William Shakespeare has enchanted reader and audience for years with its memorable characters and incredible tale of love, rebellion, injustice and generosity.

The play is set in the court that Duke Frederick has usurped from his brother (Rosalind’s father) and in the Forest of Ardenne, where Rosalind has been hiding after being banished by her uncle, Duke Frederick. In her male disguise she forms a teasing friendship with Orlando, who is in the forest hiding from his brother Oliver, who is plotting against him. Wit and romance play out against these disputes of a divided pair of brothers, fighting over inheritance of title and money.

Filled with romance, wit, disguises, plot twists, brilliant conversations, family treating family badly including dukes trying to throw one another off their throne, you will come away understanding the richness of life’s experiences and the many different forms that love might take,
