    Manly P. Hall – A Monthly Letter – May 1, 1934

    Devoted to Spiritual and Philosophical Problems – by Manly P. Hall

    May 1, 1934

    Dear Friend:

    Nearly fourteen years have passed since I began writing and lecturing on philosophy and metaphysics. During these years l have delivered several thousand lectures and published some forty hoops and essays. Students of occultism, comparative religion and kindred subjects throughout the world have honored me with their support and confidence. The years have brought an ever-increasing demand for the organization and classification of my ideas and teachings so that the average person can make fuller use thereof as the foundation for a personal code of more intelligent living.

    During the prosperous periods preceding the present social crisis people were so obsessed by economics that few concerned themselves with the deeper issues of life. As adversity becomes general, however, sober thinking comes into fashion. When our systems fail us, we must finally come to depend upon ourselves for security and well-being. It has been demonstrated throughout history that learning is restored in trying times and ignored during prosperous interludes.
