Liked the Second Part

This book is actually two-in-one. The first part, 'The Secret Destiny of America,' is a collection of short essays on everything from Akhnaton to George Washington. It tries to make the case that America was founded by a 'secret brotherhood' with the intention of it becoming a catalyst for the spread of democracy and the ultimate eventuality of a worldwide Utopian commonwealth. This 'brotherhood' has always existed, according to Hall, and his essays are apparently intended to show proof of this. But they are mostly filled with unsubstantiated claims and urban legends; nice entertainment but hardly instructive. Over and over he resorts to 'the Ancients' to strengthen his claims, but never bothers to say who these ancients are nor does he provide sources.

The second part, 'America's Assignment with Destiny,' is a lot better in my view. It is a more factual account of the history of the Americas. If I had it to do again, I would skip the first part and go straight to the second.

I've noticed a couple of typos, and on page 148 there is a reference to a work by H.B. Alexander, 'The Mythology of all Races,' but it's given as, 'The Mythology of all Ages.' The actual physical quality of the book seems pretty good. The binding is tight and I don't foresee any pages coming loose any time soon.

Alas Alas Alas

I regard Manly P. Hall as one of the few writers around who had a profound knowledge of the actual history of mankind, that has been hitherto wrapped in mystery... He was also one of the few who set this knowledge forth laboriously in writing, for the comprehension and benefit of others. This book of his is no different and is about an immensely important topic, the significance of which few are really aware of. Yet upon reading it, it instantly strikes a deep subconscious chord, settling into place as being 100% right. Perceptive people who have been to North America or who have seen and analysed the effect of American influence on the world will know what I mean, and will find a delightful confirmation of this in Hall's work. In this context I agree with the contention of many of the reviewers here namely Justin M Davis, Richard B Wilson and Anthony M Testani, etc. Manly P. Hall has it right when he describes in detail the "secret" philosophy behind the actual nature and intended purpose of America, hidden from the common human mainstream of thought. Yet I will add that be all that as it may, America is now is a shining dream gone rotten, terribly wrong - an exalted purpose felled by malignancy, and is now in the advanced terminal stages from which there can be no turning back. It was THE great hope for mankind, a glorious jewel now flawed and dashed severely - hurtling to its doom which is not far off. If we substitute the equally secret, intriguing and meaningful name of "Babylon the great" for "America" (the USA), then I think the Bible explains it most beautifully:
Rev 18:2 says
"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird".

There is nothing fanciful at all about what this verse says and how beautifully it explains why America "defaulted" on its destiny: this marvelous nation meant to be the technological, cultural and social icon for the future of all mankind, became overcome with the greed of its riches; and as a result, this nation of the free now supports some of the blackest feudal thuggery and social backwardness in the wretched Third World countries, because that is in its "interests". American women roam freely in tight fitting pants without a second thought, yet here in parts of Pakistan and places like Saudi Arabia, whole feudal governments and social systems are supported in which, if a woman meets a man of her own accord and liking, she is shot or stoned to death in the name of "honour". The stinkingly corrupt, US-supported elites and rulers of places like Pakistan rob the monetary aid the West gives them, and then use that money to buy prime ranches in Texas and the poshest penthouses in New York City. Then when they are out of power and wanted criminals in their own country, they flee to the US to spend the rest of their lives wallowing in luxury and respect. Perhaps that is what the Bible means when it says that "Babylon" has become the (gilded) cage of every unclean and hateful bird. So America has defiled its purpose, to use another Biblical term; and nowadays we can all see the doom and darkness ahead as recession and Islamic terror loom large and oil prices rise continually as "Peak Oil" sets in to deliver the coup de grace to America and its socio-economic system. Alas, this was a Great promise - now rubbed in the mud of its own choosing.

The Secret Destiny Of America

Prolific author Manly P Hall's life work was getting to the bottom of stores of historical, hidden, fundamental knowledge of human life on earth. Here he chronicles the efforts of quiet real leaders of human/social/political/human spiritual development from pre-history to the end of World War II. In the United States Of America, he tells of the reason for the establishment of an entirely new type nation in a new world which is to be a model, mentor and guide to other nations which have people aspiring to the universal and common human goal of liberty and self determination. To wit: "WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed...." As he wrote at the end of WWII, it seemed to Hall that humanity had at last a solid hold on a corner of the goal. It is terrifying (to me) to see our government racing madly backwards toward a "Directorship" heedless of the agonizingly won and saved freedom we uniquely cherished as a light to struggling peoples and a human spiritual (not sectarian) guide and help to right and happy living on earth. Is "America" over?

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

This book tells the fascinating story of how the American continent, described by Lord Bacon as "The New Atlantis," seems to have been set apart for the great experiment of enlightened self-government long before the founding fathers envisioned the rise of the American Republic. Drawing upon often neglected fragments of history, evidence is presented which indicates that the seeds of democracy were planted one thousand years before the beginning of the Christian Era, suggesting that America is not merely a political and industrial entity, but an "assignment of destiny."
