Synopsis

The first chapter of this essay provides a soundly skeptical, mythicist take on Christian origins, while simultaneously asserting Lemurian and Atlantean sources for esoteric traditions. The next three chapters are organized according to the book's pattern: brain/spirit, heart/emotions, and generative organs/physical sensation. In the chapter on "The Spinal Column" corresponding to the heart, there is also a discussion of clairvoyance and mediumship, and in the chapter on "The Infernal Worlds" Hall additionally provides an exposition of color symbolism. The final chapter of Occult Anatomy is on "embryology," which offers readings of religious texts as perinatal allegories. It then continues with a thumbnail description of the seven-year cyclical climacteric pattern of individual human development.

This essay shed some light on what previously was for me, a dim vision regarding how mystic schools use physiological symbology to convey their knowledge in allegorical stories.

Fascinating read that makes you stop and think, delve more deeply into the innerworkings of human anatomy and how we are connected to everything around us. If you want to think outside our normal spectrum I suggest reading it with an open mind.......more

The Occult Anatomy of Man by Manly P. Hall. Some really interesting ideas explored. I think the magic and wonder of the human body is missing from standard anatomy classes. A very good little book to look at as you study the topics of anatomy and physiology.......more
