Late in Manly Hall's career, he videotaped a handful of his Sunday lectures. This one was on August 20, 1989, one year before his death. He is still sharp and engaging as ever, thoughtful and considerate as always.
He starts with the tragic redemption of the philosopher, Boethius, who found salvation in his inner life in prison before his execution. Hall goes on to discuss the way the ancients regarded human emotions as beings, or gods. Of these, Truth was held in high esteem, and that Truth IS Love.
Manly Hall's kindly words of hope and growth, of seeking beauty and seeing life everywhere, right true today as in all ages. That the Universe is alive, wise and good. That our bodies and souls can be great sources of wisdom and healing. But this all takes responsibility, work and discipline from each individual
56:30 "We cannot improve the world if we can't even save our own necks."
57:58 The Individual who has not transcended his own selfishness is a poor candidate for reforming the world.
1:00:00
Love to the average individual is a very physical word.
Love to the theologian is an emotional experience.
Life and Love to the philosopher is an intellectual experience.
