An illustrated text discussing the original existence and present survival of an Adept Tradition in the Muslim world. The principle arcana of secret schools set up by mystics for the purpose of perpetuating the inner meaning of the Muslim faith is presented and their systems of meditation, concentration, and Yogic practices —similar to those of the Hindu mystics—are explored.
The manner in which these practices led to the development of internal faculties and the ability to control natural phenomena is revealed. How the secret Muslim sects derived important philosophical and theurgic elements from Gnosticism, Judaism, and Christianity is also discussed.
Manly Palmer Hall (1901-1990), was a Canadian-born scholar and philosopher. He began his public career in the related fields of philosophy and comparative religion at the age of nineteen and devoted his life to teaching, writing, and lecturing without interruption for over half a century.
Hall travelled extensively in Europe, Asia, and Central America, and assembled a magnificent library. He gave nearly seven thousand different lectures and talks and appeared on numerous radio and television stations throughout the United States. He wrote over thirty-five books, scores of essays, and hundreds of articles.
