The Secret History of America

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

De: Manly P. Hall, Mitch Horowitz - editor

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.

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.

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

Another great MPH read

I fond of all MPH reads. This one is no different. It's continous wisdom being both given and myths dispelled is always thrilling. I highly recommend.

MPH, a master at communicating esoteric knowledge

Whether it be from indigenous cultures inhabiting the Americas before the arrival of Europeans or the ancient Brahmins and Buddhists, Manly P Hall covers it all. Just a glance at the chapter titles let you know he speaks of the founding of the US as a home in the West for the New Atlantis. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Francis Bacon and Ralph Waldo Emerson are just a few of the amazing personalities Hall speaks of in this collection of writings by this great American author speaker and personality.

The narration of this beautiful work only adds to the brilliance of Halls words.

Richie Rich 2.0

Great !

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

Highly Valuable Information

Well written, informative and highly enjoyable to listen to. The narrator does a great service - with his reading style - that most clearly relays a fine work by Manly Palmer Hall.

Will revisit again soon!

interesting

good book, easy to listen to. the first part of it was very good, wonderful history of civilization and the founding of America. the last chapters were kinda meh- mostly Hall reverence for Albert Pike

most excellent

this really is one of the most interesting books. I enjoyed the content and the depth. annoyed at some of the word choices, but got over it.

great book but the sound gets clipped

The audible app seems very buggy on the sound. the narrator's voice is always cut in too late at the beginning of each paragraph. It's really annoying and ruins the experience of the book.
audible was much better before Lord Besos ruined it.
