In spite of human prejudice to the contrary, there is but one religion and one truth, and all the great faiths of the world are parts or fragments of the Ancient Wisdom. The Scriptures of the world are the written records devised both to preserve and at the same time to conceal the mystery of Eternal Law. It naturally follows that there is certain interdependence between religious writings. To understand any one sacred book completely it is necessary to also understand all other sacred books. The Christian Bible is the greatest book in English literature. But like most other great books, it must be approached with understanding, gentleness, and a sincere desire to find truth. The Bible as we know it today is a fragment of that truth. How to Understand Your Bible goes a long way to explaining myth and history, spiritual and religious, fact and fiction, and is a must for truth seekers everywhere. "The whole motion of the Universe is toward Truth. Truth is growing up in everything, manifesting through all forms and natures. Truth, therefore, may be called the hidden good, the secret God who dwells in the temples that are built for it according to the law." ~ Manly P. Hall
From the author of the landmark Secret Teachings of All Ages comes two classic works on the mysterious origins and unique mission of America: The Secret Destiny of America and America's Assignment with Destiny. Focusing on often-forgotten moments in history, Manley P. Hall proposes that there was a Great Plan put forth one thousand years before our nation's founding: humanistic and mystical organizations wished for the continent to be the location for an experiment in self-government and religious freedom. As one of the leading esoteric scholars of the twentieth century, Hall offers an intriguing view of our past, discussing everything from the symbolism of the Great Seal of the U.S. to the prophecy announced at George Washington's birth.
Reverend Pascoe G. Hill has left us a chilling testament. Fifty Days on Board A Slave Vessel is his unforgettable account of life on a slave ship. Hill's narrative locks fifty days into an existence of forever. It is a forever that haunts, not from the fear of the unknown, but the fear of the known.Because of Hill and Fifty Days we can know. At the relatively safe distance of more than one hundred years away from Hill's time we know, as he did, the extended suffering of enslaved Africans. We know and hear the "shrieks of the sufferers through the gloom of night, rising above the noise of the winds and waves." We know, see and reach across generations to feel the lash of the whip-punishment meted out for daring to "steal" water. Serving as a doctor on board the ship, Hill recorded these acts and more in his journal of the voyage.It is predictable that readers will feel discomfort and pain as they read this book. It must be kept in mind that Fifty Days was written to support the crusade against slavery. Our pain is our connection with the crusade. It is also our connection with the millions of enslaved Africans who suffered the great rape of personhood. They are not forgotten.Fifty Days is an important reminder of the horrors of the exploitive African Slave Trade. Hill's account of the stench, overcrowding, acts of depravity and murder has the effect of strong medicine. It clears your head and you never, never want to get sick again.
