The Secret Teachings of All Ages

De: Manly P. Hall

Narrado por: Chris Matthews

This key to the world's esoteric traditions unlocks some of the most fascinating and closely held secrets of myth, religion, and philosophy. Unrivaled in its beauty and completeness, it distills ancient and modern teachings of nearly 600 experts. Compelling themes range from the riddle of the Sphinx and the tenets of Pythagorean astronomy to the symbolism of the pentagram, the significance of the Ark of the Covenant, and the design of the American flag.

Acclaimed by Publishers Weekly as "a classic reference, dizzying in its breadth", this remarkable resource was compiled by the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. Author Manly P. Hall examines the secrets of Isis along with arcane aspects of mystic Christianity and other religions. Fascinating surveys cover topics as diverse as Kabbalah, alchemy, cryptology, and Tarot, along with Masonry, gemology, and the identity of William Shakespeare.

Editing issues

Lots of parts where phrases are repeated for a new recording but the old recording isn’t cut out

Awe inspiring!!!

One of the best books I’ve listen to encompassing such vast amounts of occult knowledge and wisdom! A must to listen to!

great historic review of human thought

man's evolution is the evolution of consciousness. this book chronicles man's philosophy, cosmology and theology. you can get an idea of where we've been and that helps to envision where we need to go as a species. a great scholarly work of our time. read it or audio it!

the narrator constantly restarting wo editing and persistent mispronounced words and names.

Great comprehensive overview story. Very poor narrator, Rushed tempo, didn't edit restarts and mispronounced words.

Amazingly great work by Manly P. Hall

1st of all, I redownload this book thinking the reading was a technical glitch. Sadly, it's not, and that will have you questioning what you just heard and have to back up and wonder how much if the text did you just miss, or hear the reader modify the last few words.

Aside from the performance, this is an absolute Gnostic gem and philosophical review of both history and religion. Even if you do not seek Gnosis, this complete review of nearly every religion and it's basis is one that should be referenced time and time again as it summarizes many principal teachings in good measure.

The esoteric secrets

If you're in search for the esoteric secrets and hidden groups who control the world this book is for you.

Beautiful book with awful editing

Too many mistakes in reading, especially where while paragraphs are repeated and the mistakes not deleted. It was too distracting so I went with another reader's version to finish the book.

The worst, edited audiobook I’ve ever listened to…

So I like this narrator from other books. There is many versions of this particular book and I went with this one unbeknownst to me about an hour in there was so many pick ups and bad edits. I am not sure how this one got thru Amazon’s review systems. Please fix. This is an incomplete book. The content is hard enough to follow as it is. But when you hear the same paragraph start over, just so he can re-pronounce the name is unacceptable.

Most unprofessional narrator

The narrator keeps repeating certain phrases and words like he dont understand what he's reading.
Really annoying.
One of the worst narrators ive come across.
I wont finish this version of this book.

Deletes key information!

I was listening while following along in my book and the narrator skipped an entire section of key information!!
Stick to the book version, this audible is propaganda.
I couldn’t believe how much the narrator purposely skipped.
I want my money back!
