2 Designs - 1 Unmistakeable, the other Inconspicuous - "Manly P. Hall"

“Materialism which has become more prevalent in our time --- can be held responsible for a very large amount of unfortunate pressure that bothers us today. Materialism sustains crime, helps to build a constant fear...makes the individual highly materialistic because he knows no other outlet...and little by little the world becomes afraid of life...afraid of the existence in which it passes its days in the world. Hermes Trismegistus pointed out that the time would come when Egypt (which was once a symbol of the whole World) would forget its Gods..that it would deteriorate, that it would depart from heaven, that it would build false images, false golds and false purposes to justify its own errors. That it would go into a state of conflict with all other things. That it would erase the values of the earth. That the earth will become impoverished, the soil would become depleted. That most of the living humanity would have no perception of its responsibilities. But will live for pleasure and profit alone...and as this happened..gradually the planet would become a desert. That everything that was useful would know longer be able to function or manifest itself. But in-spite of this ...something inside of the human being would not/could not die. This eternal life that has been recognized by the great mystery system ...continued...and also in the course of time, the light within the individual will revolt against the misconduct of its mind, emotions and body. And when the great tragedy reveals itself to be the result of human selfishness, stupidity and ignorance... that humanity will then go back to the Gods. Go back to the divine principles within himself...and create a new world, emerging out of his own repentance, out of his own realization of his mistakes..out of his own fear of the final destruction of himself and everything that exists. But nothing will be destroyed because it is part of the illusion. It is an illusion which continues until the human being makes peace with universal law. Once we accept the governorship of the great values of life, it is then no longer subject to the infirmities of the flesh." - Manly P Hall
