The Zen of the Bright Virtue

The Zen of the Bright Virtue

 

Manly P. Hall. 

 

The Philosophical Research Society: 1963. First edition. Soft cover. Quarto. Mild rubbing and fading to covers with light smudges on the back cover. Bottom corner on the front has a small bend. Inscribed by Manly P. Hall on the front wrap. 86 pages. Very Good. 

 

Hall's celebrated eloquence turns esoteric concepts into transparent insights as he links his own spiritual project to Zen. 

 

"The mind can analyze and dissect and integrate and disintegrate patterns and forms, but there is still a strange 'not-realness' about it. By the mind's processes alone we do have certain penetrations and intensities, but there has to be a reason for them. Therefore, there has to be something that causes the mind to move, and we have never found anything in this world that caused the mind to move except one thing -- faith."
