title: The Soul in Egyptian Metaphysics and The Book of the Dead
author:  Manly P. Hall 
description: The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934 for the purpose of assisting thoughtful persons to live more graciously and constructively in a confused and troubled world. The Society is entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control. Dedicated to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems, the Society's program stresses the need for the integration of religion, philosophy, and the science of psychology into one system of instruction. The goal of this instruction is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, to recognize his proper responsibilities and opportunities, and to understand and appreciate his place in the unfolding universal pattern.

  ### CHAPTER I. IN GUISE OF THE ORIENT.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
    
  THIS is the story which Bernard Fane told me one afternoon as we sat

  taken all round; not even your keen sense of the romantic could long
  
  
  survive it. The duties are not very exacting, certainly, and in our own
