The Secret History of America

Classic Writings on Our Nation's Unknown Past and Inner Purpose

De: Manly P. Hall, Mitch Horowitz - introduction

Narrado por: Mitch Horowitz

A compilation of rare works on the untold history and destiny of America by acclaimed occult writer Manly P. Hall.

Writer and scholar Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) is one of the most significant names in the study of the esoteric, symbolic, and occult. His legendary book The Secret Teachings of All Ages has been an underground classic since its publication in 1928. The Secret History of America expands on that legacy, offering a collection of Hall’s works—from books and journals to transcriptions of his lectures—all relating to the hidden past and unfolding future of our nation.

Hall believed that America was gifted with a unique purpose to explore and share principles of personal freedom, self-governance, and independent thought. PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz has curated a powerful collection of Hall’s most influential and insightful works that capture and explore these ideas. Never before collected in one audiobook, the material in The Secret History of America explores the rich destiny, unseen history, and hidden meaning of America.

Great !

exactly what you would expect from Hall. However, secret teachings of all ages is a barn burner compared to this .

Outstanding!

The amazing history of the Americas that I never got in school. I'm sad that we decimated the indigenous cultures.

Perhaps not an introductory text

Truly fascinating, broad & varied subject matter, but perhaps more academic than would be most approachable to the average layman. However, still a most informative & thought provoking read, expertly written & performed. I am certainly inspired to seek out more of Manly P Hall's teachings

Stunning work

It's interesting to note that many of the threads of struggle in 2021 were embedded into the struggles of humanity when the United States was founded. These book is interwoven with the tales of heroes the likes of which we rarely see today. There is a gushing chapter on Albert Pike, for instance, a radiant man with a deep knowledge of life and love of humanity. His statue was torn down during the 2020 riots around the BLM movement. The tales of Hiawatha are also fascinating. His companion, gifted in speech, was a flesh eater, and after they'd found a certain level of success in their journey, he had to vow to stop eating flesh.

During the writing of the declaration of independence, a mysterious figure reportedly showed up, while the founders were on the fence, or their faith was wavering, gave a rousing speech, and vanished, never to be seen again. But the account is in a few separate writings from the time.

All in all, the purpose of the United States for America, at least according to Hall, has been one of spiritual awakening, while under the heel of a gathering darkness.

Mysticism Behind America’s Origins

"The Secret History of America" explores Manly P. Hall’s vision of the nation’s esoteric roots, linking ancient wisdom, Freemasonry, and myth to the country’s founding ideals. The collection highlights the spiritual and symbolic influences on U.S. history, although its focus is more philosophical than historical in detail. A thoughtful read for those interested in America’s mystical narrative.
