Secrets of the Initiates
By Patrick Salway
In The Secret Teachings of All Ages, Manly P. Hall explains that throughout human history mankind has been separated between two classes: those of “a contemplative intellect” and those who are “like sheep who must be led.” Through the centuries, contemplative minds have seen symbolic representations of universal truths embedded in the mythologies of the world’s religions. Many of these people have been guided, either by their own intellect or societal elders, to undertake the rites of one of the many ancient secret societies tasked with protecting the keys to the mystery of existence. Hall claims that since the dawn of civilization, the destinies of nations and religions have been guided by the initiates of these ancient mystery schools.

Nothing comes from nothing. Manly Hall’s vision for the All-Seeing Eye was entirely supported by contributions from its readers who paid for their subscription with gifts made according to their means. Manly Hall wrote,
“This magazine is published and distributed privately to those who make possible with their financial support its publication. The magazine cannot be bought and has no fixed value. Like all of the ancient teachings which it seeks to promulgate, it has no comparative value, but the students must support it for its own intrinsic merit.”
