Why Manly P Hall books?
It confirms and expands on what I have experienced myself and what I have worked out for myself and know others have also come up with these similar conclusions.
It is important to read books from authors such as Manly P Hall as they were published in an older era, therefore the information contained with them are not bogged down with the current lingo which can be like listening to a broken record and one tends to tune out.
In plain English, it creates a necessary shock to the system for better digestion of food/KNOWLDEGE/A,B,C influences
One of the important points that Manly P Hall has covered in his writings is Alchemy and the Transmutation Process that occurs through Alchemy.
The reason why this is important is that this Transmutation Process happens internally, therefore you are turning a base metal (you) into gold, this is the most basic and simple explanation.
All the ingredients must be perfect in order for it to work.
This can be interpreted as "balance" which other belief also have in their systems.
Therefore the ingredients could be right amount of A, B, C influences and how you convert/tranmute the negatives ones into positive ones.
What you eat, how you eat, how much exercise you do or do not do.
If you spend your energy creatively, ie, in my case I am refraining playing too much poker to get more balance in my life and etc.
An important one is The Egyptian Book of The Dead and how the heart must be of equal weight of Maat's feather.
Balance can also relate to how one must find balance in the Far East Asian teachings.
And in any belief systems one must find balance before they can move on to the next point of there journey and finally become.
I related this back to the COC and 4th way due to I knew intuitively that the 4th Way Teaching was also related and one aspect/implementation of the Transmutation process.
This is just a brief outline at the moment as I am slowly going through his writings.
I have done enough digging to know which books are excellent and at this point in time I consider Manly P Hall writings to be classed as such.
I would like to stress that I do things intuitively and then look up the right terminology at a later date in all paths I am on, as not to cause chaos to my proper development.
In answering your response, I know now is the right time to re-read the 4th books.
