The Philosophical Research Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1934 by Manly P. Hall for the purpose of providing thoughtful persons rare access to the depth and breadth of the world’s wisdom literature. PRS is entirely free from doctrinal, political, or ecclesiastical affiliation and provides an environment sheltered from any interest intending to coerce or convert. The institution’s goal is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, dedicated to understanding and appreciating one’s own unique possibilities in the unfolding universal pattern. The works published by PRS, most of which are written by Manly P. Hall himself, probe the life mysteries and spiritual issues with which every inquisitive individual is concerned. Whether interested in creating a personal library of philosophical insights, or just beginning the search for enlightenment, one will find the works featured here valuable steps through the “gates of wisdom” to the greater world around.

Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) was a seeker and lover of wisdom—the very definition of a philosopher. He had the courage and raw energy to look for wisdom in places most men had long since forgotten or never knew existed. As the Philosophical Research Society’s founder and first president, he began his career in an era when most Americans did not look toward other cultures and traditions without looking down. And yet, Manly P. Hall spoke and wrote extensively on the wisdom found in all ancient traditions, and the deep cross-cultural threads and many interconnected roots of modern religious expression. While neither guru nor saint (he made no claim of perfection, far from it), his work is exceedingly rare in its grand scope, detail and synthesis. He embraced the wisdom of every tradition and, with a fluid command of the obscure and complex contents of these traditions, worked to express their unifying truths. In his long career, spanning more than seventy years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 200 books, essays, and magazine articles, and left the world one of the finest libraries in the field, as well as a University that continues in his spirit of universal learning.

Obadiah S. Harris is the current president of the Philosophical Research Society. He combines his skills as a community educator and administrator with study of the world’s wisdom traditions to continue the legacy and pursuits of the PRS into the present day. Under his direction The University of Philosophical Research was created, a contemporary wisdom academy that continues to extend and evolve the original intents of the PRS into a nationally accredited online university.

Wisdom is insight into the nature of things, a fundamental acquaintance with Reality. All of the great insights of humankind left for us to study, which history has managed to preserve, are the priceless inheritance of every person. It is the clear goal of Philosophical Research Society and the University of Philosophical Research to provide global “lovers of wisdom” access to that treasure which is their birthright.

“...This volume reveals that the lore and

legendry of the world, the scriptures and sacred

LIBER T Y AT T HE MILLENNIUM Norris Hansell. Illustrations by Miro SalazarThrough the written and spoken words of our forbears, this work aims to provide a compact rendi-tion of the central ideas in our founding documents. The eloquent works of the

founders are presented without commentary. The book extends beyond the work done in Independence Hall by Jefferson, Penn, Hamilton, Adams and Madison, to include the words of those less known—Phillis Wheat-ley, Paul Cuffe and Hiawatha. The central idea in the founding of America was liberty, its indispensability for the robust life of citizens, its need for protection by a government of special design. Looking ahead, the founders anticipated that Americans ever would need to guard their liberty because of its long history of fragility before the forces intrinsic to all governments.

THE MOST HOLY TRINOSOPHIA OF THE COMTE DE ST. GERMAIN, Comte de St.-Germain. Introductory Material and Commentary by Manly P. Hall

The great Rosicrucian who termed himself the “Comte de

St. Germain” is one of the most baffling personages in Western history. His activities are traceable for more than one hundred years between 1710 and 1822, leading Frederick the Great to refer to him as “the man who does not die.” St. Germain was a scholar, linguist, musician, painter, and an alchemist so profound legends reputed he could turn “base metals into gold.” This unusual work was prepared for the instruction of St.-Germain’s disciples in the cabalistic, hermetic, and alchemical mysteries. The original manuscript is housed in the Bibliotheque de Troyes in France. $16.95 | Paperback (or Hardback). 221pp. ISBN: 0-89314-417-7

of Christianity, from the Near East through the Byzantine Empire and into Europe. Through Alchemy’s travels many pioneers in the field emerged, including Roger Bacon, Raymond Lully, and Nicholas Flamel. The letters of Sendivogius to the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, almost completely unknown to the modern world, are discussed. Illustrated.$15.95 | Paperback. 108pp. ISBN: 0-89314-534-3

LE A RNING TO LIVE BY LIVING TO LE A RN | The Natures of the Human Body

The first step in the study of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings is not the “quest for knowledge,” but the preparation of the self to “receive knowledge.” This is the first obstacle faced, where most truth-seekers make their first mistake. With their eyes turned toward the heavens, they rush ecstatically toward “ illumination,” only to stumble, like Thales, “into the ditch of their own unpreparedness.” The desire for wisdom is in itself the most commendable of human qualities, but in too many cases this desire comes to nothing through ignorance and misunderstanding. We must not only earnestly and unselfishly desire truth, we must create within our own nature the ethical environment suitable for the reception of spiritual knowledge. Before it is possible to perceive clearly the mysteries of the inner life, one must develop the faculties for this perception. This unique lecture pamphlet series explores the four natures of the human body: the physical, the vital, the emotional, and the mental. These lectures are a compilation of Mr. Hall’s essays, articles and published works, exploring his personal beliefs about the connections between the inner life and the outer person. They are aimed at helping the reader gain an in-depth understanding of the four natures of the human being and the human body. All four aspects must work in harmony to enrich the inner life.$7.95 each | Pamphlet. 60+pp. LTL-1-01 through LTL-4-40 (each).

This historical recording was arranged and performed by Rudolph Gruen from St. Germain’s L’Inconstanza Delusa Suite (1740), originally composed in the formal and florid Rococco style of the 18th century. The arias were reputedly performed at the Paris Opera shortly after their composition. In setting this operatic work for the piano, composer and pianist Rudolph Gruen left the harmonies, rhythms, melodies and form just St. Germain wrote them.

NEOPL ATONISM, Book 1 Proclus on the Theology of PlatoWhat is the essential difference between the teachings of Plato and the New Platonism or Neoplatonism? Old ways were not felt sufficient to meet the neurosis of the dying classical dynasties. Neoplatonism is primarily to be defined as a motion of Platonism toward theology. In other words, it is the rise of Platonism as a religion.

NEOPL ATONISM, Book 2 Iamblicus on the MysteriesIamblicus was by no means the most brilliant of the Neoplatonists. But he handled everything with a peculiar, wonderful mystical reverence. He was never satisfied merely to approach things on an intellectual level. He had to go beyond this. Therefore, his name is associated with one step or degree of the

Neoplatonic Ladder of development, the Ladder of the Soul, rising from opinion through all the different degrees of intellect culminating at the upper end in Theurgy.$5.95 | Pamphlet. 44pp. ISBN: 0-89314-861-X

NEOPL ATONISM , Book 3 Plotinus on the BeautifulIn the beginning, the Neoplatonists considered Beauty an alternative to the word “good.” Good with a capital ‘G’ was the Neoplatonic equivalent of our word God, the object of the Soul’s desire. All things in themselves naturally aspire to the Good. If this natural aspiration is thwarted or blocked an

Transcribed by Clarke E. Johnston from the five-part audio series “Doctrines of Neoplatonism,” a series of lectures given by Manly P. Hall in 1983 to students interested in the ancient wisdom of the Neoplatonists. It seemed to have been one of his favorite subjects down through the years, he spoke and wrote about it frequently during his long career. The foreword to “Lectures on Ancient Philosophy” declared that the basis of his own personal philosophy was Neoplatonism. In the latter part of his life, Mr. Hall said that after years of study and reflection, he had come to believe that the doctrines of Neoplatonism had descended to us in a purer form than nearly any other philosophical system. This system seemed more suitable to the active, extroverted Western cultural mindset. He believed this was true because though it was as deep and thorough as any other approach to enlightenment, its precepts were more easily understood and their relative simplicity tended to impel an interested person to put them into practice by beginning to learn to live a more philosophic life.

NEOPL ATONISM , Book 4 Porphyry on the Wanderings of UlyssesThe Neoplatonists found mysticism in all things, convinced of a common denominator in human knowledge. As early as the time of Plato an effort had been made to understand the inner meaning of the writings of Homer. The philosophers of the Platonic and Neoplatonic schools favored the idea

that Homer’s blindness was symbolic. It indicated not his inability to see on the objective level, but that he had turned his sight inward to the contemplation of things normally invisible. $5.95 | Pamphlet. 44pp. ISBN: 0-89314-863-6

NEOPL ATONISM, Book 5 Julian on the Mother of the GodsDescended of Constantine, and himself an Emperor of Rome, Julian was a philosopher and scholar of ability, but essentially in his own personal life, a mystic. His writings are colored by tremendous emotional intensity. He had a great and sublime sense of the dignity of life and was

not inclined to accept anything upon its literal value—he sought a deeper meaning. Thus with the fables of the Great Mother, Goddess of the Ephesians, Isis the Mother of the Mysteries, he sought to find this meaning.$5.95 | Pamphlet. 44pp. ISBN: 0-89314-864-4

SELF-UNFOLDMENT BY DISCIPLINES OF REALIZATIONPractical Instruction in the Philosophy of Disciplined Thinking and FeelingIllumination is as natural as life itself, but enlightened living is only possible when we perceive the reason for

living. This reason cannot be supplied by the mind or the senses. It can be discovered only through communication with the inner Self.This book aims to develop on the part of the student the skills of awareness and thoughtfulness. Disciplines not to be practiced as rituals, but rather as inherent qualities — as natural as eating and digestion.The practice of Self-Unfoldment is drawn primarily from

Eastern mysticism, blended with the teachings of Pythagoras and Plato — adapted to the modern Western life. The practice of metaphysical discipline will not remove life’s’ problems, but will help to face and solve them honestly. Out-of-print for several years, this exclusively electronic e-book edition is fully bookmarked for easy navigation, with a hyper-linked table of contents.

Hitchcock was one of many Western thinkers to explore the abstract realm of archetypal symbolism, and his work was considered an advance for his time.

Our minds, the subtler parts of our own imaginations, break through the boundaries of

physical things. We are in this physical world, but we are definitely not of it.”

The University of Philosophical Research maintains a Wisdom Library, affording students the opportunity to review rare works related to Consciousness Studies and Transformational Psychology. “The library here has one of the finest collections of wisdom literature in North America. And the idea behind that is, that these are the great cultures of the world. Each one has its own wisdom literature – they’re about the laws of nature, the great principles of the universe, they’re what we call perennial philosophy – all about the higher values of existence and how you acquire them.” - Dr. Obadiah Harris

Library History

In 1934, The Philosophical Research Society (PRS) was incorporated as a nonprofit educational institution. Shortly thereafter, the corporation was able to secure the valuable property on which its Library and other buildings now stand. On October 17, 1935, nearly one hundred people assembled on the site for the purpose of breaking ground for the headquarters, which included a front office, print shop, bindery, and library.

The architectural theme for the buildings derives its inspiration from the early culture of the ancient Mayas. Renowned architect, Robert Stacy-Judd was commissioned to design the initial buildings. Stacy-Judd also published several popular books on Mayan culture which are part of our collection. He sought to incorporate Mayan symbols and design motifs throughout the buildings.

The Library collection grew book by book, building on the great truths of illuminated thinkers such as Pythagoras, Plato, Buddha, Confucius, Hermes, Aristotle, Jesus and Mohammed; along with other prophets and sages. The emphasis of the collection has always been upon those idealistic systems of knowledge which have helped to build a better world. The whole purpose of this collection is to meet society’s increasing awareness of the need for an internal philosophy. Here the great seers, sages, scholars, and mystics are made available through their own writings, and need not be approached only through books of modern interpreters. The bulk of the collection focuses on Philosophy, Psychology, Mythology, Anthropology, Religion and World Cultures.

In 1998, PRS President, Dr. Obadiah Harris, began formalizing the Society’s many educational offerings into an accredited formal University. In July of 2000, the State of California approved the University of Philosophical Research to issue a Master of Arts Degree in Consciousness Studies. Since that time the Philosophical Research Society has been doing business as The University of Philosophical Research. In January 2003, the State of California approved the UPR’s second Master of Arts Degree Program, in Transformational Psychology. The Library collection has grown to incorporate material to support the courses, programs and degrees offered. In addition, the university subscribes to The Library and Information Resource Network Core Collection of databases to ensure our students have access to a comprehensive selection of online scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers and ebooks. Visit http://www.uprs.edu/resources/research-library/ for more information.
