The Occult Anatomy of Man by Manly P Hall
2013 Reprint of 1937 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The first chapter of this essay provides a soundly skeptical, mythicist take on Christian origins, while simultaneously asserting Lemurian and Atlantean sources for esoteric traditions. The next three chapters are organized according to the book's pattern: brain/spirit, heart/emotions, and generative organs/physical sensation. In the chapter on The Spinal Column corresponding to the heart, there is also a discussion of clairvoyance and mediumship, and in the chapter on The Infernal Worlds Hall additionally provides an exposition of color symbolism. The final chapter of Occult Anatomy is on embryology, which offers readings of religious texts as perinatal allegories. It then continues with a thumbnail description of the seven-year cyclical climacteric pattern of individual human development.
Canadian-born author and mystic Manly Palmer Hall (1901-90) founded the Philosophical Research Society. In his eight decades of public life -- which included thousands of lectures, more than 150 books and essays, and countless magazine articles -- Hall emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion.
