I wrote this in my own words and it reflects what I believe esoteric philosophy's view of the Self is. MPH is certainly a major inspiration in shaping my thinking here.
This is essentially 'Theosophy 101' - but reads as Alexander's own culmination of understanding of 'who we are' expressed as succinctly as he can..
Another contemporary of Manly P. Hall (in his early years) was Paul Foster Case (founder of 'Builders of the Adytum') a modern western esoteric mystery school. I mention him because of his 'Pattern on the Trestleboard' which magnifies the above into a short personal meditation.
All of this is powerful stuff, the Holy of Holies, and personally speaking I'm just in awe of the whole tradition that stretches back to the dawn of humanity.
For me, every sentence is eloquent and rings true... In fact, after listening to it and sensing its truthfulness one could repeat verbatim that speech and see the effect it has on your own being.
Does this represent a synthesis of Manley P Hall's personal vision, or is it your own?

Is there any way of isolating what MPH's own personal ideas looked like?
Yes - you can get a direct revelatory sense of Hall in his own words from the following specific video recording found on YouTube > https://youtu.be/Lhu01p9qNjM?si=juOjJhswWGD1VTVo

Was wondering the same thing. Is this presented as a summary of beliefs— but whose?
Hey Sachon— is this what you believe? Or only a summary of MHP’s beliefs?
It’s essentially what most New Agers believe.
It's what I believe. But also, what I believe is heavily influenced by MPH's teachings.
Thank you for clarifying.
Excellent!
