- This is the first of a five-part seminar series on "Doctrines of Neoplatonism". Part 1 was recorded in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 12, 1955.
Manly Hall considered Neoplatonism (~3rd to 7th century C.E.) to be one of the most important philosophical systems that a seeker of wisdom could study. Beginning with Plotinus, this movement brought back the spirit of pre-Socratic thought as well as that of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Consciousness was considered as primary and existing before matter - that the thought world proceeded the material realm, and therefore, more important for each of us to explore and experience.

I remember listening to this lecture on other channels, but the audio quality of this one is at the top. Nice job guys.
This is the equivalent of being fortunate enough to sit at the feet of a bhudda, prophet,seer, a man possessed of almost a divine wisdom unlike anything before or since. Don't take the privilege of enjoying MPH for granted. This is a GREAT , BRILLIANT HUMAN BEING.
I agree.
Thank you for restoring one of Manly P. Hall's most vital lectures, the great series on Neo-Platonism. Looking forward to subsequent installments.
This series is a personal favorite, along with his lectures on Alchemy (which badly need a remaster!), Gnosticism, and Paracelsus.
Yes, the Alchemy series is in bad shape. Even the master tapes (which I had the privilege of listening to) and marginal. We will do our best!
best MPH miniseries
awesome, one lecture finished 8 minutes ago.... lets do another! thank you!
Ahh... Another Man of Culture I see... Lol. 🥂👋
Give it some time for reflection and allow it to be absorbed before you move on to the next. just some friendly advice
The infinite cause of infinites ♾️ , along these lines, I feel every time I listen to a lecture I learn deeper even if I have heard it. Just like watching a movie and seeing something new each time.
Youre doing gods work. This audio quality.
Brilliant lecture! Thank you.
Another timely lecture.
mind blown
Wonderful stuff.
What a great way to start off the New Year. Thank you. I have come to see that there seems to be similarities between Neo-Platonism and the Gnostics. I wonder if anyone can recommend further research? Thank you.
There are some similarities but there are differences. Read Plotinus Ennead II,9. It is the section entitled "Against the Gnostics". Manly Hall would probably recommend the Thomas Taylor translation.
@@skeletonsinthecloset4925 That's great. Thanks very much..
Samael Aun Weor, he was a spanish Gnostic. Check out "The Perfect Matrimony"
Loved this.

The eldest sibling has first dibs and takes a cut off the top of all household play-doh supply.
Do you build a little cave with it and then shine a light in it?

When will the transcripts be made available? Thanks for all.
Click on those three dots up there next to the save button! : )
Terrific lecture.
@@craigheldreth Thanks, but i hate the formatting!
The Philosophical Research Society has a PDF download of all 5 lectures in this series. Keep in mind, this will not re-format in a iBooks or other ebook reader (like changing font size, etc), so it is 'fixed'. We are working on a full e-book transcript, which will be in the epub format, which allows you to change font, size, background color, etc., and will re-format for the best viewing/reading experience. I will post when that is finished.
