Recognizing the Occult Faker - Manly P. Hall

This is a reading of a chapter entitled "Recognizing the Occult Faker". It is chapter 5 in the book "Words to the Wise" by Manly P. Hall.

"If it is the purposes of the Occult Sciences to perfect the individual in the philosophic virtues, why are so many people interested in metaphysical subjects so lacking in the rudiments of discrimination and poise?"

I am doing these reading for three reasons:

1. I was inspired by the recorded readings of Josh Reeves (http://www.theglobalreality.com/) and Dale Brunsvold (http://www.rudolfsteineraudio.com/).
2. Being of a silent and introspective nature, I'm hoping these readings will help strengthen and steady my voice which has become rather weak from lack of use.
3. Commitment to transmute the consumptive impulse into something creative.

Given the limited amount of time I have to do these readings, I've decided to be more selective in the application of this time. I've decided to spend my time reading what I've found to be most relevant and valuable rather than spending time reading chapters of "filler" material just to complete a book. So do not expect complete readings of entire books but rather a more scattered selection.
