The Philosophical Research Society is a non-profit organization founded in
1934 by Manly P. Hall for the purpose of providing thoughtful persons rare access
to the depth and breadth of the world’s wisdom literature. PRS is entirely free from
doctrinal, political, or ecclesiastical affiliation and provides an environment sheltered
from any interest intending to coerce or convert. The institution’s goal is to enable
the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, dedicated to understanding
and appreciating one’s own unique possibilities in the unfolding universal pattern.
The works published by PRS, most of which are written by Manly P. Hall himself,
probe the life mysteries and spiritual issues with which every inquisitive individual is
concerned. Whether interested in creating a personal library of philosophical insights,
or just beginning the search for enlightenment, one will find the works featured here
valuable steps through the “gates of wisdom” to the greater world around.
Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) was a seeker and lover of wisdom—the very definition of
a philosopher. He had the courage and raw energy to look for wisdom in places most men
had long since forgotten or never knew existed. As the Philosophical Research Society’s
founder and first president, he began his career in an era when most Americans did not
look toward other cultures and traditions without looking down. And yet, Manly P.
Hall spoke and wrote extensively on the wisdom found in all ancient traditions, and
the deep cross-cultural threads and many interconnected roots of modern religious
expression. While neither guru nor saint (he made no claim of perfection, far from
it), his work is exceedingly rare in its grand scope, detail and synthesis. He embraced
the wisdom of every tradition and, with a fluid command of the obscure and complex
contents of these traditions, worked to express their unifying truths. In his long career,
spanning more than seventy years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over
8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 200 books, essays, and
magazine articles, and left the world one of the finest libraries in the field, as well as a
University that continues in his spirit of universal learning.
Obadiah S. Harris is the current president of the Philosophical Research Society.
He combines his skills as a community educator and administrator with study of the
world’s wisdom traditions to continue the legacy and pursuits of the PRS into the
present day. Under his direction The University of Philosophical Research was created,
a contemporary wisdom academy that continues to extend and evolve the original
intents of the PRS into a nationally accredited online university.
Wisdom is insight into the nature of things, a fundamental acquaintance with Reality. All of
the great insights of humankind left for us to study, which history has managed to preserve, are
the priceless inheritance of every person. It is the clear goal of Philosophical Research Society
and the University of Philosophical Research to provide global “lovers of wisdom” access to that
treasure which is their birthright.

The University of Philosophical Research emerged from
the Philosophical Research Society, a nonprofit organization founded
in 1934 by Manly Palmer Hall for the purpose of providing access to
the depth and breadth of the world’s wisdom literature with a view
to promoting an engagement with our times through an evolving
perspective. Its mission has been to provide education related to
study and research in human consciousness, through the interrelated disciplines of Philosophy, Psychology, Religion, Culture & the
Cosmology of Science.
UPR has grown from this tradition, evolving into the new millennium. Our one-of-a-kind approach to
education is now available to students on a global scale via online learning, maximizing the potential for a
new, emergent consciousness. Our students are impelled by the aspiration to become leaders of society, as
teachers, artists, scholars, life-coaches and advisors. Our programs thus strive to provide the knowledge and
tools leading towards universality and the transformation of oneself and the world.

LIBERT Y AT THE
MILLENNIUM
Norris Hansell.
Illustrations by Miro
Salazar
Through the written and
spoken words of our
forbears, this work aims to
provide a compact rendition of the central ideas in
our founding documents.
The eloquent works of the
founders are presented without commentary. The book
extends beyond the work done in Independence Hall
by Jefferson, Penn, Hamilton, Adams and Madison, to
include the words of those less known—Phillis Wheatley, Paul Cuffe and Hiawatha. The central idea in the
founding of America was liberty, its indispensability
for the robust life of citizens, its need for protection
by a government of special design. Looking ahead, the
founders anticipated that Americans ever would need
to guard their liberty because of its long history of
fragility before the forces intrinsic to all governments.

This collection of
essays details the
early work of Johannes
Kelpius (1673-1708),
a German Pietist and
mystic, William Penn
(1644-1718), and
others in Colonial America as they made
a valiant effort to dedicate this world, this
hemisphere, to the fulfillment of the prophecies of the ages. Transcendentalism has been
described as a philosophical and religious democracy, a part of our heritage that we ought
not forget. Also discussed is the connection
btween American mysticism and Ancient
Greek and Alexandrian classical philosophy
as seen through the prism of early mystical
Christianity.

philosophies, and psychologies of the East and West. This pamphlet series is a useful guide and aid for those
seeking deeper insight into consciousess as seen from the philosophical mindset. It has been made available to

impact on world culture has been deep and enduring: Socrates,
Plato, Aristotle, Lao-Tse, Buddha, Confucius, Maimonides,
Jalal-ud-din (Rumi), St. Paul, St. Thomas Aquinas, Leibnitz and

consciousness in its relation to the experiences of knowledge and
knowing. The reader is introduced to the essential Buddhist doctrines

F.R.S. Preface by Manly P. Hall
The first and most
complete exposition
of the religious
iconography of India,
this indispensable
reference work was
written in 1810 and
aptly conveys the spirit
of East Indian myths,
legends, fables, and the
intricate symbolism
which distinguishes the
Eastern mind. Here the great Indian classics,
the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, are
revealed as epic works of wisdom literature.
A must for students of philosophy and
comparative religion, and collectors of Asiatic
art, this is ranks as one of the most complete
works on theology and philosophical beliefs
of the Hindus. This folio sized work, a
photographic facsimile of the original 1810
edition, contains 451 pages of text, 105 pages
of engravings and line-art, and index.

Hindu tradition, the Bhagavad-Gita, and the six systems
of Indian Philosophy, from the Rishis of Old Aryavata,
the first Aryan Adepts, to the teachings which the East
honors today as the Light of the Vedas. Also explained is
the station of enlightened human beings—the Adepts.
Referenced throughout the literature of numerous
religious traditions, they are custodians of the essential
wisdom of the world.
ISBN: 0-89314-530-0
THE MYSTICS OF ISL A M, Adepts in the
An illustrated text discussing the original existence and
present survival of an Adept Tradition in the Moslem
world. The principle arcana of secret schools set up
by mystics for the purpose of perpetuating the inner
meaning of Islam is presented in the form of systems
of meditation, concentration and Yogic practices—
similar to those of the Hindu mystics. The manner in
which these practices led to the development of internal
faculties and the ability to control natural phenomena
is revealed, in addition to the influence of philosophical
and theurgic elements from Gnosticism, Judaism and
Christianity.

THE MOST HOLY
TRINOSOPHIA OF
THE COMTE DE ST.
GERMAIN, Comte de
St.-Germain. Introductory
Material and Commentary by
Manly P. Hall
The great Rosicrucian who
termed himself the “Comte de
St. Germain” is one of the most baffling personages in
Western history. His activities are traceable for more
than one hundred years between 1710 and 1822,
leading Frederick the Great to refer to him as “the man
who does not die.” St. Germain was a scholar, linguist,
musician, painter, and an alchemist so profound
legends reputed he could turn “base metals into gold.”
This unusual work was prepared for the instruction of
St.-Germain’s disciples in the cabalistic, hermetic, and
alchemical mysteries. The original manuscript is housed
in the Bibliotheque de Troyes in France.

Learning to Live by Living to Learn
LEARNING TO LIVE BY LIVING TO LEARN | The Natures of the Human Body
The first step in the study of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings is not the “quest for knowledge,” but
the preparation of the self to “receive knowledge.” This is the first obstacle faced, where most
truth-seekers make their first mistake. With their eyes turned toward the heavens, they rush
ecstatically toward “ illumination,” only to stumble, like Thales, “into the ditch of their own
unpreparedness.” The desire for wisdom is in itself the most commendable of human qualities, but
in too many cases this desire comes to nothing through ignorance and misunderstanding. We must
not only earnestly and unselfishly desire truth, we must create within our own nature the ethical
environment suitable for the reception of spiritual knowledge. Before it is possible to perceive clearly
the mysteries of the inner life, one must develop the faculties for this perception.
This unique lecture pamphlet series explores the four natures of the human body: the physical,
the vital, the emotional, and the mental. These lectures are a compilation of Mr. Hall’s essays,
articles and published works, exploring his personal beliefs about the connections between the inner
life and the outer person. They are aimed at helping the reader gain an in-depth understanding of
the four natures of the human being and the human body. All four aspects must work in harmony
to enrich the inner life.

THE MUSIC OF THE COMTE DE ST. GERM AIN
A Performance of the L’Inconstanza Delusa Suite
REL ATED
WORKS BY
M ANLY HALL
This historical recording was arranged and performed by Rudolph
Gruen from St. Germain’s L’Inconstanza Delusa Suite (1740),
originally composed in the formal and florid Rococco style of the
18th century. The arias were reputedly performed at the Paris Opera
shortly after their composition. In setting this operatic work for the
piano, composer and pianist Rudolph Gruen left the harmonies,
rhythms, melodies and form just St. Germain wrote them. The suite
is presented in six movements: gavotte, sarabande, gigue, pastorale,
minuetto and sicilienne.

Neopl atonism | Pamphlet Series
NEOPL ATONISM | Theology for Wanderers in the New Millenium
Transcribed by Clarke E. Johnston from the five-part audio series “Doctrines of Neoplatonism,”
a series of lectures given by Manly P. Hall in 1983 to students interested in the ancient wisdom of the
Neoplatonists. It seemed to have been one of his favorite subjects down through the years, he spoke and
wrote about it frequently during his long career. The foreword to “Lectures on Ancient Philosophy”
declared that the basis of his own personal philosophy was Neoplatonism. In the latter part of his life, Mr.
Hall said that after years of study and reflection, he had come to believe that the doctrines of Neoplatonism
had descended to us in a purer form than nearly any other philosophical system. This system seemed
more suitable to the active, extroverted Western cultural mindset. He believed this was true because
though it was as deep and thorough as any other approach to enlightenment, its precepts were more easily
understood and their relative simplicity tended to impel an interested person to put them into practice by
beginning to learn to live a more philosophic life.

NEOPL ATONISM, Book 1
NEOPL ATONISM , Book 4 Porphyry on the
Proclus on the Theology of Plato
What is the essential difference between the
teachings of Plato and the New Platonism or
Neoplatonism? Old ways were not felt sufficient to
meet the neurosis of the dying classical dynasties.
Neoplatonism is primarily to be defined as a
motion of Platonism toward theology. In other
words, it is the rise of Platonism as a religion.

NEOPL ATONISM, Book 2
Wanderings of Ulysses
The Neoplatonists found mysticism in all things,
convinced of a common denominator in human
knowledge. As early as the time of Plato an effort
had been made to understand the inner meaning
of the writings of Homer. The philosophers of the
Platonic and Neoplatonic schools favored the idea
that Homer’s blindness was symbolic. It indicated not his inability to
see on the objective level, but that he had turned his sight inward to the
contemplation of things normally invisible.

Iamblicus on the Mysteries
Iamblicus was by no means the most brilliant of the
Neoplatonists. But he handled everything with a
peculiar, wonderful mystical reverence. He was never
satisfied merely to approach things on an intellectual
level. He had to go beyond this. Therefore, his
name is associated with one step or degree of the
Neoplatonic Ladder of development, the Ladder of the Soul, rising from
opinion through all the different degrees of intellect culminating at the
upper end in Theurgy.

NEOPL ATONISM , Book 3 Plotinus on the Beautiful
NEOPL ATONISM, Book 5 Julian on the Mother of the Gods
Descended of Constantine, and himself an
Emperor of Rome, Julian was a philosopher
and scholar of ability, but essentially in his own
personal life, a mystic. His writings are colored by
tremendous emotional intensity. He had a great
and sublime sense of the dignity of life and was
not inclined to accept anything upon its literal value—he sought a
deeper meaning. Thus with the fables of the Great Mother, Goddess
of the Ephesians, Isis the Mother of the Mysteries, he sought to find
this meaning.
$5.95 | Pamphlet. 44pp. ISBN: 0-89314-864-4
In the beginning, the Neoplatonists considered
Beauty an alternative to the word “good.” Good
with a capital ‘G’ was the Neoplatonic equivalent
of our word God, the object of the Soul’s desire. All
things in themselves naturally aspire to the Good.
If this natural aspiration is thwarted or blocked an
infirmity in the psychic life of the person will result..

THE NEW
CONSCIOUSNESS
by Obadiah Harris
In this book, Obadiah
Harris, PRS President,
delineates the evolution
of religion, philosophy
and science, and how they
integrate themselves into the
process man should follow to
develop further. Through the
illustration and interpretation of Eastern philosophies,
and the psychological and spiritual dimensions of the
Bible, new horizons for both the individual and societal
achievement are opened. This is not simply a book for
self-awareness—it is more. It is a universal, positive
book about man’s evolution—primitive to civilized has
not been enough. Our world is more complex, there is
not enough love, there is no lasting peace. Man must
take another step and this book points the way.
PATHWAYS OF
PHILOSOPHY
A study of the descent of
Western idealism in the
Platonic and Neoplatonic
traditions. Many creative
thinkers, philosophers and
mystics have profoundly
influenced the course of
modern civilization, from
St. Thomas Aquinas to
Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Paracelsus, Francis Bacon, Jakob Boehme and
Immanuel Kant. By knowing these men themselves we
can interpret correctly the force and character of their
ideals through the examples of their lives and ideas.
Companion volume to Journey in Truth (p.20).
SAGES AND SEERS
This work unfolds a basic
theme, presenting eight
sages and seers of the
modern world (16th to the
20th centuries), who all
made important and lasting
contributions to humanity’s
spiritual growth. Their
lives, though surrounded
by mystery, stand out as
inspiring examples of mystical idealism, devout
aspiration, and sincere dedication: Nostrodamus,
Francis Bacon, Johann Amos Comenius, Jakob
Boehme, the Comte de St.-Germain, William
Blake, Thomas Taylor, and Mohandes Gandhi

exploration of later
Greco-Roman
initiates, this
illustrated text
explores the doctrines
of Alexandria in Asia
Minor, North Africa,
and Eastern Europe.
These doctrines laid
the foundations
of alchemy,
Rosicrucianism,
astronomy, and the
hermetic arts which have survived in the secret
societies of the modern world. This volume covers
the esoteric schools which flourished in Alexandria
for over 500 years and combined the teachings
of the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, as well as
Jewish scholars and early Christian Mystics.

ORDERS OF THE QUEST - HOLY GRAIL
Adepts in the Western Esoteric Tradition, Part 1
The origins of the “Grail
Legend” are described,
from the dissemination
of the secret doctrines of
antiquity in Europe, to
the collapse of the Pagan
Mysteries, to the end of
the “Age of Chivalry.”
The account begins
with Manes, whose
philosophy has survived
into modern times as
the driving force behind
Christian Mysticism.
It continues with the Troubadours, the Knights
Templar of Jerusalem, Taliesin the Adept of Britain,
the wisdom of the Druids, and secret assemblies of
Wales, Merlin, King Arthur and the Round Table,
the Holy Grail, the Grail Kings, and Parsifal and
Lohengrin; and their parallels in the search for the
mysterious temple of Shamballah, said to stand on
the Imperishable Island in the midst of the Gobi
Desert in Mongolia. Illustrated.

THE RED BOOK
OF APPIN
by Ethan Allen
Hitchcock
A facsimile reprint
of an 1866 edition,
originally titled, “The
Red Book of Appin;
A story of the Middle
Ages, with Other
Hermetic Stories and
Allegorical Tales. A
New Edition, Enlarged by a Chapter of the Palmerin
of England, with Interpretations and Remarks upon
the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments.” The author,
Ethan A. Hitchcock was one of many Western
thinkers to explore the abstract realm of archetypal
symbolism, and his work was considered an
advance for his time. Fairy tales and folklore, like
Oriental mandalas, often had secret meanings
and that they stimulated the thoughtful mind to
explore the mysterious world of the subconscious.

INITIATES OF
THE FL A ME
Written in 1922,
when Manly P. Hall
was just 21 years old,
The Initiates illustrates
the great spiritual
thread of living fire
that winds in and out through all the
religions and binds them together with
mutual ideals needs—that there is one
religion in all the world, and that is the
worship of God, the spiritual Flame of the
universe—“Under many names He is the
same, the Creator of the universe, and fire
is His universal symbol.” A deeply personal
and uplifting work, it reveals that we are
part of the Brotherhood of all life, all part
of the Infinite. Illustrated.

“We are travelers in a distant land. We are not actually citizens of this state in which we live. Physically, we may be
citizens; morally and spiritually, we are living beings—part of a living universe. Our roots are in space and eternity,
not in the earth and time. Our minds, the subtler parts of our own imaginations, break through the boundaries of
physical things. We are in this physical world, but we are definitely not of it.”

The University of Philosophical Research maintains a Wisdom Library,
affording students the opportunity to review rare works related to Consciousness
Studies and Transformational Psychology. “The library here has one of the
finest collections of wisdom literature in North America. And the idea behind
that is, that these are the great cultures of the world. Each one has its own
wisdom literature – they’re about the laws of nature, the great principles of
the universe, they’re what we call perennial philosophy – all about the higher
values of existence and how you acquire them.” - Dr. Obadiah Harris
Library History
In 1934, The Philosophical Research Society (PRS) was incorporated as a
nonprofit educational institution. Shortly thereafter, the corporation was
able to secure the valuable property on which its Library and other buildings
now stand. On October 17, 1935, nearly one hundred people assembled on
the site for the purpose of breaking ground for the headquarters, which
included a front office, print shop, bindery, and library.
The architectural theme for the buildings derives its inspiration from the early culture of the ancient Mayas. Renowned architect, Robert StacyJudd was commissioned to design the initial buildings. Stacy-Judd also published several popular books on Mayan culture which are part of our
collection. He sought to incorporate Mayan symbols and design motifs throughout the buildings.
The Library collection grew book by book, building on the great truths of illuminated thinkers such as Pythagoras, Plato, Buddha, Confucius,
Hermes, Aristotle, Jesus and Mohammed; along with other prophets and sages. The emphasis of the collection has always been upon those
idealistic systems of knowledge which have helped to build a better world. The whole purpose of this collection is to meet society’s increasing
awareness of the need for an internal philosophy. Here the great seers, sages, scholars, and mystics are made available through their own
writings, and need not be approached only through books of modern interpreters. The bulk of the collection focuses on Philosophy, Psychology,
Mythology, Anthropology, Religion and World Cultures.
In 1998, PRS President, Dr. Obadiah Harris, began formalizing the Society’s many educational offerings into an accredited formal University.
In July of 2000, the State of California approved the University of Philosophical Research to issue a Master of Arts Degree in Consciousness
Studies. Since that time the Philosophical Research Society has been doing business as The University of Philosophical Research. In January
2003, the State of California approved the UPR’s second Master of Arts Degree Program, in Transformational Psychology. The Library collection
has grown to incorporate material to support the courses, programs and degrees offered. In addition, the university subscribes to The Library and
Information Resource Network Core Collection of databases to ensure our students have access to a comprehensive selection of online scholarly
journals, magazines, newspapers and ebooks. Visit http://www.uprs.edu/resources/research-library/ for more information.
