Okay. Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey.

Investigates on today's show of a very special guest. His name is Juan.

Ayala, I talked to him back just a couple weeks ago on his podcast, and we just kind of talked about my work.

But I saw that he's done a lot of research into subjects and topics, I think, are important for people to understand, particularly the topic we're going to talk about today, which is the subject of Manley P.

Hall and Secret Teachings of All Ages. I have a copy of it. And really kind of was an insight into

esotericism, masonry. I think Manley P. Hall eventually became a 33rd degree mason.

He didn't start very young.

But I think he wrote the secret teachings of all ages when he was very young, fairly young.

28, yeah.

28, yeah.

So really interesting.

One interesting story is I grew up in Northern California.

And every year they would bus us to

this Rosicrucian museum that's in San Jose and inside it it was all full of Egyptian hieroglyphics

and symbolism and things like that and you could actually buy a copy of the big version of

secret teachings of all ages.

Granted, I was like 12 to 13.

I eventually went back there, and that's where I got my copy because I was curious to read about it.

But that place, that a morque place,

was associated with Crowley, which I later found out.

I forgot the name of the guy who actually ran that in San Jose.

He probably had to have known mainly Piaul,
