“Lord Bacon’s Interpretation of Classic Myths: Their Importance in the Solution of Modern Problems” was spoken by Manly Palmer Hall on Sunday, December 9, 1979 in front of a live audience at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles.
The subject of Francis Bacon was of keen interest to Mr. Hall, having spoken and written about him since the 1920’s, and was an entire chapter in “The Secret Teachings of All Ages”.
As always, Manly Hall contextualized ancient myths and esoteric writings in terms of how they symbolically relate to the individual, and, how we can apply these lessons directly toward the improvement of our own lives in contemporary modern times.

Thank you
Manly P. Hall is a treasure. Thanks for making these lectures available
People cannot begin to overstate the Bacononian influence upon what was to become the Great American Experiment and his contributions to Western Science. Bacon embodied the Age Of Reason and I fully believe he was one of, if not the writer of Shakespeare.
🙏
A True Man of Wisdom. 🙏🏽

Thanks for the upload! Sir Francis is one of my favs!!
I love that the comments section isn't turned off. I've found you can learn a lot in them, too. Sometimes you have scroll but… 😂
So happy for this post today! Bacon is my second hero after Hall, then it's tied with Appolonius of Tyana and Pythagoras.
Lord bacon was a Satanist!!! HA!!! Why you think he’s so looked up to by all the CORRUPT JEWS AND POLITICIANS THESE DAYS!!!! DISGUSTING!!!!
5:90 “HUMBLE CHILD OF GOD!!!” HA!!!! Yeah that EVIL WAS CHEIFTAN USURPER THE KINGS ALL CLAIM IS A GOD OF LOVE!!!! HA!!! You’re DISGUSTING!!!!!
What's being a lover of Manly p. Hall called
You greatly honor Manly P. Hall, his works, and memory by providing his wisdom uninterrupted by ads. You clearly show us that you get the spirit of his talks. I'm forever thankful!
The "De sapientia veterum" is a great read. Myths can be interpreted in many ways owing to their archetypal and fantastical qualities. It's interesting to get a glimpse into the practical and markedly political interpretations suggested to the Queen by one of the greatest minds of England.
Who ever is posting these videos is a true Hero, I pray pray and pray that humanity never loses these works
one of my fav lectures. thank you so much
Buddha Bacon.
✨💛✨💛✨🤍✨💛✨💛✨
I listen to these lectures frequently and they have added immense value to my life, thank you
We all must be students of history, and observant of those things virtuous. I am lacking in character in comparison to Lord Bacon. I am a rebellious soul, and I pay the costs,..I hope that this might change. Interesting to imagine that Saturn is the symbol of matter considering some sort of gravitational dew point with its orbiting bodies. Birth and nurturing, merit our attention as well.
Thanks for keeping this up! If you have "The mystery of the three worlds", please upload it as well!
How do we feel about the myth that Shakespeare was actually lord Francis bacon?
Wonderfully excellent pristine analysis by the one and only MPH. I'm an ardent Sir Francis Bacon/Viscount St Alban fan/advocate/aficionado – hence i hold him to be a 'rendition' or 'avatar' of all those truly greats who knew 'Wisdom' personally but would not voice themselves as being wise, for to do so is akin to 'casting pearls before swine' – is that why Ningishzzida/Thoth is only ever portrayed with his Ibis facade? I gather that it was actually Thoth's Earthly face that adorned the Sphinx initially but his eldest half-brother, the ultra masculine Marduk, later 'Amun Ra' had it taken off once Thoth had his Father's marching orders to leave ruling (to be given to M) Egypt to go and raise up/educate/civilise regions in the Americas. Thoth's work was re-fashioned by the mandatedly concealed royal Prince, Francis Tudor Dudley 'Bacon' aka 'Shakespeare' – via his Plays and wisdom updates from the Ancients among other works both in his pseudonymic roles and in his secular works as in the Law of the Land and his philosophical treatises. All Hail to 'Pan': Natural Law uniting and rules All – whether known or not. Echoes of one superb Englishman – 'To Be or Not to Be, that is THE Question'.
My takeaway: God owns wverything from nature, animals, and mankind. Therefore when you hurt any of those things (yourself included) you are going against nautral law. This is the only source of all pain and disorder. Both physical and mental. I also believe that matter is decomposed or over complicated (darkness taking over light) souls. Ultimately those who sontinued to follow the serpent downward until confusion densified them into matter. That last part is just my current working thesis 🙃

Id heard & read about the cry that the god Pan is dead for about a year now and did not understand at all why people would be so upset about a nature god like him. When I understood (around 36:30) I put my head down in reverence and said thank u Manly and thank u F Bacon. Love of WISDOM
Much respect
Some think bacon was the ghost writer for Wm. Shakespeare.
5:54 ?This was the peculiar 'weakness' of his ability" in the subtitles/transcript should be "uniqueness". Please correct this to avoid unnecessary confusion. A brilliant talk by the unmatched Manly P. Hall.
Bacon new the secret destiny of America.
America’s Secret
The Presidents Before George Washington
In 1774 the first Continental Congress met when delegates from the 13 British colonies deiced that the Coercive Acts, which were a series of measures put in place by the British government after the Boston Tea Party, were intolerable. In fact, the colonists referred to the Coercive Acts as the Intolerable Acts because it enforced more strict legislation on the colonists who already felt like they were being taken advantage of. Most Americans have at least heard the phrase “no taxation without representation” once in an American history class, but what did it really mean? Well, it all started with the Tea Act of 1773.
The Tea Act was imposed by the British government in order to bail out the East India Company which was near financial collapse. The act allowed the East India Company to monopolize the tea industry in the British colonies, including America, selling excess tea at a reduced price. However, any good imported to the American colonies at this time was taxed under the Townshend Duties—a series of acts passed by British parliament in 1767 and 1768. To get around paying these taxes to the British crown the American colonists had been smuggling in Dutch tea and other goods for some time. The colonists believed the Townshend Duties were an abuse of power because of their lack of representation in parliament, which ultimately led to the famous Boston Tea Party.
On the night of December 17, 1773, the Sons of Liberty, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed roughly 45 tons of tea by dumping 340 shipping containers into the Boston Harbor. The Sons of Liberty was a secret organization led by Samuel Adams that fought for colonial rights. Mostly, the group believed that the British government could not force Americans to pay taxes. The Sons urged other American colonists to support the resistance by using petitions, assemblies, propaganda, and even violence against British officials. More and more Americans were showing defiance against the British crown. Some became revolutionaries while the others remained loyal to the crown, known as loyalists.
Taking matters into their own hands, the revolutionaries formed the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia simply trying to make their concerns heard in Great Britain by sending letters to the king and organizing a boycott on British trade. The following year the Second Continental Congress went on to function as a national government at the outset of the Revolutionary War by raising armies, directing strategy, appointing diplomats, and writing treatises.
Most importantly, this congressional body was responsible for drafting and ratifying the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Revolutionary War was fought for eight long years, finally coming to an end in 1783 when Great Britain and American representatives signed the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which formally recognized the United States of America as an independent nation. However, George Washington did not become President of the United States of America until 1789, so who ran the newly independent country for the six years following the end of the revolution?
Several men held the position: John Hanson (Nov 5 1781 – Nov 3 1782), Elias Boudinot (Nov 4 1782 – Nov 2 1783), Thomas Mifflin (Nov 3 1783 – Nov 29 1784), Richard Henry Lee (Nov 30 1784 – Nov 22 1785), John Hancock (Nov 23 1785 – Jun 5 1786), Nathaniel Gorham (Jun 6 1786 – Feb 1 1787), Arthur St. Clair (Feb 2 1787 – Jan 21 1788), Cyrus Griffin (Jan 22 1788 – Apr 30 1789), and Samuel Huntington (Sept 28 1779 – July 10 1781). Why do these men seem to be left out of history books, forgotten by the world?
Before the US Constitution that we know today was drafted and ratified, the newly independent America operated under the Articles of Confederation. The articles provided a structure for the people during the tumultuous time after the Revolutionary War, but it ultimately did not give the federal government enough power. The Articles were unsuccessful because it was structured around a weak central government and strong states that retain, “its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right…not…expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.” (Article II) Problems with this strategy immediately became apparent as each state viewed its own power and sovereignty as more important than the national government. The states would not help financially support a central government. Among other weaknesses Shays Rebellion finally proved the sheer uselessness of the federal government as a combined militia could not be formed by congress to put down the rebellion.
Finally, the Constitutional Convention was held on May 25, 1787, but delegates decided that changes to the Articles could not be made—an entirely new US Constitution needed to be created. It took delegates two years to draft the final version of the new Constitution. So, it was under this piece of legislation that George Washington became the first president of the United States of America in 1789.
The two offices are wildly different.
The President of the United States holds a significant amount of power compared to the President of Congress. However, the President of Congress was still quite instrumental in the proceedings of United States Congressional hearings. The office was also responsible for handling various state correspondences, with congress’s approval, and signing official congressional documents. However, unlike the president of the US under the Constitution the President of Congress had absolutely no executive power whatsoever—the position was more of a ceremonial role. The people felt that political power should not be concentrated in one individual, making the position of President of Congress almost completely powerless.
While George Washington may certainly be the first president under the constitution, some historians agree that technically he was not the first president of the independent nation known as the United States of America.

The American Colonies, as a confederation of states under the Articles of Confederation 1777, gave way in 1789 to the American Union after the signing of the federal constitution of 1789. In doing so, the individual member states lost their sovereignty and independence over and to a sovereign of sovereigns and a government over governments. An independent and separate executive whose authority is brought to bear upon the individuals of the member states. Changing the individual relationship not only of the states but the individual citizens of the states in their standing and distinct relationship to the Federation. A conscious obligation and loyalty to it, which constitutes a new foundation and a new conception of citizenship while removing the old discrepancies in language, race, culture and religion.
“I would like to contribute to the faith in human perfectibility, but until men have changed their nature and are completely transformed, I will refuse to believe in the duration of a government whose task is to hold together forty diverse peoples spread over a surface equal to half of Europe, to avoid rivalries, ambition and struggles among them and to bring the action of their inde pendent will together toward the accomplishment of the same projects.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
An Enlightenment Top- down rational project. From autocratic monarchy to representative democracy and finally Authoritarian Rule. All planned centuries ago. The structure and capstone for the future ideal; Mass- Man, under a centralised and federated
One World Oder. A Citizenship and identity sustained by an illdefined patriotism, the fetishisation and hagiographic rendering of the constitution; the relentless incantation of a set of simple unitary values based on the notion of “freedom” and “liberty” and the repeated insistence by both political parties through the politicisation and reification of a political ideal, i.e. the “American people” that such a thing exists all under the edifice and banner of one Nation under God (the deist god of Gnosis) indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.” A template of the future.All by the ‘steady wind and irresistible tide of manifest destiny.’
The Enlightenment ideals furnished the Age of Reason with a powerful centralising mythology, under the birth and aegis of the Nation, an organizational structure and an elaborate rational mythical narrative that was calculated to bind citizens together as metaphorical brothers.
