Manly P. Hall Lecture - The Real God and Why Humanity Exists

About the speaker:
Manly P. Hall, born in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, made his mark in the 20th century as a celebrated author, lecturer, astrologer, and mystic. At the age of 27, he published the magnum opus, “The Secret Teachings of All Ages,” in 1928, offering a comprehensive exploration into a myriad of topics, including ancient religions, secret societies, philosophy, and the occult. Hall’s career was characterized by his unyielding quest for knowledge and understanding across diverse disciplines. Over seven decades, he delivered over 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, synthesizing religious, philosophical, and historical research. In 1934, Hall established the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, providing a venue for the exploration of religion, philosophy, and science. Despite the absence of formal education beyond high school, Hall's self-guided learning and intellectual curiosity established him as a respected voice in esoteric and philosophical thought.
