This one I acquired with the massive lot I inherited from my late Uncle Joe. I am not a believer in the occult or any mode of religious thought though I like to read such works on occasion. This one is really far-out man. It is a hodge-podge collection of beliefs cobbled from Hinduism, Egyptian myth, Christianity, and medieval European lore on witchcraft including bits from classical literature such as Dante, Milton and even a definite influence from Blavatsky especially found in the repeated references to Atlantis. Of course, I’m assuming more Blavatsky’s version than Plato’s (unfortunately). All of this has some terms ripped from science & astronomy at the time (1920s) thrown into the mix.
There are a (very) few tidbits that I find relevant such as on page 24 item #47 the last sentence which reads:
As of old, so today, the cry is seldom “Save souls,” but is usually “Show us miracles.”
Then other parts of the text can be taken the wrong way (if they weren’t meant in that context already that is) such as Item #59 which refers to the “Brown Man” who was “ordained to labor in the fields” and the “Black Man” described as “the creature born into slavery”. Yikes.
There are other questionable passages in the text such as Item #90 that strikes me as slightly fascistic.
Our natures cannot be allowed to just grow, […] anymore than children can be allowed to run around promiscuously and then be expected to amount to anything; they must be trained, and there must be a thorough understanding as to who is master and who is servant. [pg.37]
Granted this passage is in the section titled The Mechanics of Magic and is referring to the discipline of magic but the metaphor is a bit of a collar tugger but not out of place.

Then there’s Item#102 pg.41. It begins:
No man who is sick should be healed merely because he has an ailment. He should learn the lesson that accompanies the disease which he has brought upon himself. To affirm health is foolishness; to find out the reason for the ailment, make right the wrong and become healthy again, is wise and proper. To be so moderate, so wise, so thoughtful, as not to become sick, is still better philosophy.
The context is you shouldn’t use magic on people who do not specifically ask per item for it but it also places blame for illness which for the most part is just plain wrong. Then the rest of the passage runs with the contextual not really relating to what it has already put forth with the blame game. This is repeated throughout the book and items don’t necessarily relate to the previous or next item either. Again, this passage can be misconstrued and has been, unfortunately, a refrain from the American right and anti-vaxxers in general.
On the other hand, some of the rich imagery was really cool in my opinion. Also, the illustrations are really neat. I especially liked the image of the "Black Morning” at the beginning of time in the text. It sent my mind off in a million directions, so there’s that.
Overall, I’m not angry or disappointed that I read it, it was a fast read although its formatting diced up any sort of narrative momentum that could have been possible. I would only recommend this if you like reading esoterica such as 19th-century spiritualism & mysticism and belief in Atlantis. Otherwise, I can’t recommend this one.

Wanneer de menigte regeert, wordt de mens geregeerd door onwetendheid. En als de kerk regeert, wordt hij geregeerd door bijgeloof. Wanneer de staat regeert, wordt hij geregeerd door angst. Voordat mensen in harmonie en begrip kunnen samenleven, moet onwetendheid worden omgezet in wijsheid, bijgeloof in een verlicht geloof en angst in liefde. Ondanks beweringen die het tegendeel beweren, is de Vrijmetselarij een religie die God en de mens probeert te verenigen door haar ingewijden te verheffen tot dat niveau van bewustzijn waarop zij met een verhelderde visie de werking van de Grote Architect van het Universum kunnen aanschouwen. Van eeuw tot eeuw wordt de visie van een perfecte beschaving bewaard als het ideaal voor de mensheid. Te midden van die beschaving zal een machtige universiteit staan ​​waar zowel de heilige als de seculiere wetenschappen met betrekking tot de mysteries van het leven vrijelijk zullen worden onderwezen aan iedereen die het filosofische leven op zich wil nemen. Hier zullen geloof en dogma geen plaats hebben; het oppervlakkige zal worden verwijderd en alleen het essentiële zal behouden blijven. De wereld zal worden geregeerd door haar meest verlichte geesten, en ieder zal de positie innemen waarvoor hij het meest bewonderenswaardig geschikt is.
De grote universiteit zal worden onderverdeeld in graden, waartoe toelating zal plaatsvinden via voorafgaande tests of initiaties. Hier zal de mensheid worden onderwezen in het meest heilige, het meest geheime en het meest duurzame van alle mysteries: het symbolisme. Hier zal de ingewijde worden geleerd dat elk zichtbaar object, elke abstracte gedachte, elke emotionele reactie slechts het symbool is van een eeuwig principe. Hier zal de mensheid leren dat CHiram (waarheid) verborgen ligt in elk atoom van de Kosmos; dat elke vorm een ​​symbool is en elk symbool het graf van een eeuwige waarheid. Door middel van onderwijs – spiritueel, mentaal, moreel en fysiek – zal de mens leren levende waarheden uit hun levenloze omhulsels te bevrijden.

Manly P. Hall's odd, but interesting prose and assertions about the pineal gland and its supposed occult function as the "third eye" or a mystical organ. Standard interpretation in metaphysics today. This reprint by Martino Fine Books offers a cheap, facsimile of chapter XVI of Man: The Grand Symbol of the Mysteries.

Als er een groep was die deelnam aan het christelijke mysterie en de esoterische geheimen van de vroege kerk bezat, dan waren het de gnostici. Deze orde bewaarde tot het einde toe de hoge ethische en rationele maatstaven die eer aan een leer verlenen. De kerk viel daarom het gnosticisme krachtig en meedogenloos aan en erkende deze mystieke filosofen als de meest formidabele tegenstanders van de tijdelijke macht van de christelijke theologie.
