Love of Truth
Manly Palmer Hall
Love of Truth
Running time 66 minutes
This great lecture begins with the 5th century Christian philosopher Boethius, alone in his prison awaiting death. There in his cell, a beautiful woman adorned in radiant clothing introduces Herself as Truth, come to be with him the rest of his life. Mr. Hall tells us how we too can commit ourselves to Truth, an infinite being, how Truth will come to us and we are never left alone.

Can someone please explain to me what the hell this means? I don’t get how people can take this seriously for a second, yet the most powerful people on Earth seem to endlessly propagate the most absurd things. This video in particular, Manly P. Hall says that emotions are not things but beings, and this is ancient wisdom. What sort of action is this supposed to prompt of us? He says that a lady “Truth” actually appeared to Boethius. Has “Truth”, or any other deity, ever appeared to Mr. Hall? How did Boethius “serve” Truth? What are we supposed to take away from listening to this endless drivel? It doesn’t seem to have any meaning or practical application. Surely the person who posted this video thinks it has some value and could tell me why. I’m so confused.

Thanks – I have had thought likes you do now about the subjects he covered – it appears – and had no idea what any of this meant years ago.
When he begins referencing ‘truth’ as a female personification and as a being, he may likely be referring to Sophia – who could be considered the ‘goddess’ of wisdom and truth.
To me, the video gave me a sense of value and understanding. You don’t appear to have the same experience. This stated, it would do little good for me to point out any more than what I have already written.
Good luck on your own path – atleast you watched a video about another point of view, that’s a great start.
Cheers,

Jared, It is a story that uses symbolism. In this cell, as he sat alone, he would not have had the chance to write down this story or have it witnessed by another person. Keep up with your questions and your studies.
