The Secret Teachings of All Ages Volume 2: Lectures on Ancient Philosophy and the Foundations of Eso

"The Secret Teachings of All Ages – Volume Two is the essential companion to Manly P. Hall’s timeless magnum opus. Where Volume One offered an encyclopedic survey of the world’s mythologies, mystery schools, and occult systems, Volume Two goes further—deeper into the soul of the teachings themselves. This volume is drawn from Hall’s lesser-known but no less profound writings, including Lectures on Ancient Philosophy and rare essays from The All-Seeing Eye. Together, they form a cohesive and richly symbolic curriculum on spiritual transformation, metaphysics, esoteric cosmology, initiation, and the eternal quest for wisdom. Topics include the divine structure of the universe, the ladder of the gods, the disciplines of the Mystery Schools, and the symbolic significance of the alphabet, tarot, astrology, and ancient rites. Also featured are companion essays such as The Wisdom of the Ancients by Francis Bacon, The Esoteric Structure of the Alphabet, What Ancient Wisdom Expects of Its Disciples, and more. This is not an audiobook for casual listening—it is a manual for the soul, designed to challenge, illuminate, and transform. Quote from Manly P. Hall: 'Philosophy is the science of estimating values. The aim of philosophy is to establish values for all experiences—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.'"

"What is Political Science? Within human society, it is customary to distinguish between the following spheres: economic, political, social, and spiritual. The political sphere is important in that it involves and determines the interactions of different political powers. This understanding lies at the foundation of any political analysis of public life. Politics as a specific sector within human society is as old as it is modern. Many famous statesmen and scientists are credited as the authors of laws and political systems. In today's global community, facing growing pressures of political extremism and radicalism, knowledge of basic political science principles should help students develop a democratic ethos and foster qualities, such as political tolerance, compromise, and cooperation, while learning to express and defend their interests in a civilized manner. The foundation of political science lies in the accumulated knowledge of mankind. Each included piece o this collection is required reading at some of the best universities on the planet including: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia Universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, among others.

The New Atlantis

"'The New Atlantis' is a utopian work of fiction written by Sir Francis Bacon in the early 17th century. The story is set on a fictional island called Bensalem, which is supposed to be located in the Pacific Ocean. The island is a model of what Bacon considered to be the ideal society, where science, technology, and religion are all in harmony. In the story, the people of Bensalem are deeply religious and believe in a God who is revealed through both nature and scripture. They have a strong commitment to scientific inquiry and have made many discoveries and innovations in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, and navigation. The island has a central institution called the 'House of Salomon's House,' which is a scientific research facility that conducts experiments and investigations in a wide range of fields. The scientists and researchers who work at the House of Salomon's House are highly respected members of society, and their findings are used to improve the lives of all the people of Bensalem. The island is also portrayed as having a strong sense of community and hospitality, with visitors from other parts of the world welcomed and treated with great kindness and respect. The people of Bensalem are depicted as peaceful and just, with a deep sense of social responsibility and care for their fellow citizens. Overall, 'The New Atlantis' is a vision of a utopian society that seeks to combine the best of science, religion, and social justice. Bacon's work has influenced many subsequent works of science fiction and utopian literature, and his ideas continue to be debated and explored to this day."
