Please join us by becoming active in carrying on this great tradition.</p>
<p><strong>WHY WE ARE HERE:</strong></p>
<p><strong>“The Original Aims and Purposes”<br />
</strong><br />
<em>To discover additional knowledge by intensively investigating the essential teachings of the world’s greatest scientific, spiritual and cultural leaders, and by further clarifying man’s heritage of wisdom.</em></p>
<p><em>To apply this heritage to the present needs of mankind by means of modern skills and the cooperation of outstanding experts.</em></p>
<p><em>To make available these vital concepts to persons in <strong>every</strong> walk of life, by lectures, publications and other media.</em></p>
<p><em>To create an increasing awareness in the <strong>public</strong> mind of these ideas and ideals of solving the personal and collective problems of modern man.</em></p>
<p><strong>WHAT CHANGED?</strong></p>
<p>Since the passing of Manly P. Hall in 1991 the PRS has:</p>
<ul>
<li>Attempted sale of the property, which would allow the library to be transferred to an unspecified locale</li>
<li>Discontinued Sunday morning lectures have resumed, but there are no classes on Manly Hall&#8217;s works. <span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="color:#333333;">The lectures are poorly advertised and attended.</span>  <em>(The <strong>Friends of the PRS</strong> are offering classes on Manly Halls works. Contact: </em></span><a href="mailto:friendsofPRS@yahoo.com"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em><strong>friendsofprs@.com</strong></em></span></span></a><em><span style="color:#ff0000;"> for location and times. See the link below.)</span></em></li>
<li>Discontinued weekday and weekend classes</li>
<li>Limited public access to the library and bookstore</li>
<li>Reduced bookstore inventory and stock</li>
<li>Reduced board size from twelve to three members (two of whom do not maintain residences in Los Angeles)</li>
<li>Established a university, that does not include Manly Hall in the curriculum, by utilizing the assets of the PRS. Although we support the establishment of the university, it cannot be at the expense of the original intent and purpose of the PRS.</li>
</ul>
