I had wanted to comment on this a few days ago after I listened to the podcast about all of this. My main thought is what would Manly Hall think about today's modern/post-modern women and the "feminist" movement as a whole? To me, it seems to be an inversion of principles. I think today's modern feminists are not embracing their true calling, and are being led astray by power, debauchery, and materialism. I have no doubt that today's feminist movements will have to die off in order for women to start looking in the right direction to find the divine feminine within them. Thoughts? Did MH say anything about this?

Sorry I missed this comment. I agree with you that I don't think it's going in the right direction, but then again nothing seems to be going in the right direction at the moment.

I think the underlying sentiment of the feminist movement is ultimately right in that we need a "rebalancing" of society, but it seems to be driven by an emotional reaction rather than a thoughtful analysis and diagnosis of how and why things went wrong. In my view, this and all other problems begin with mankind's loss of connection with its own soul. That loss of connection becomes the basis of all further confusions, including gender politics and gender identity. If the women behind the feminist movement can rediscover their own souls, I think the movement can find its true place and purpose in the larger Plan.
