In Manly P. Hall's esoteric teachings, the skull symbolizes the human mind or the seat of higher consciousness. The Temple of Solomon, with its intricate design, represents the perfected human body and spirit. The connection lies in the symbolic journey toward enlightenment. Just as the Temple was a sacred space for divine wisdom, the skull houses the brain, the instrument for achieving spiritual awakening. The inner sanctum, or the "Holy of Holies," mirrors the pineal gland, a bridge to higher realms. Hall suggests that understanding the symbolism unlocks the mysteries of the soul’s ascension within the microcosm of man.
