Mr. Hall envisioned a home-study University, Learning to Live by Living to Learn, which would offer the wisdom of the world’s ancient mystery teachings to assist individuals in their search for a better life. This 5-part lecture series was specially selected from the archives for the serious students preparing themselves for this program.

Now transcribed from the transcripts, this book is a valuable addition to any personal library in order to begin to apprehend such forces.

1. The Living Universe Beyond our Sensory Perception
2. Demonism in the 20th Century
3. Obsession and Spirit Possession
4. Thought Forms and Psychic Ghosts
