The Great White Lodge and Its Initiates
Los Angeles: 1944. 8 1/2 " x 11" Item #032029
This is Adepts Lecture # I given Wednesday September 20, 1944. 15 pages. Mimeographed by Virginia B. Pomeroy. Manly Palmer Hall's major collection was sold to the Getty Museum. Copies of these lectures are uncommon. This was the beginning of his lectures addressed to Adepts. As in all surviving lectures from 1932-1945, those addressed to the Adepts were of necessity very limited. A very clean copy on three hole punched paper. He begins addressing the case of Lao-Tse, who like Manly P. Hall was an autodidact. He proceeds to speak the latest aspects of the great pyramid of Gizeh, then describes the word "mystery", then proceeds to discuss the "Great Schools". This lecture was given during World War II and he notes how the catastrophe of war has again reverted man to a primitive barbarism. Rather than becoming depressed, it says the spiritual realm is indeed closer than ever. He goes on to note Krishna at the Battle of Kurukshetra. He talks about the walls of Borobudur in Java and its Buddhist monument. Here he addresses his audience "This is the story of all Adepts". The call to pure spirit is one that local governments cannot corrupt. The Ancient School that neither sleeps nor slumbers throughout eternity.
