The policy of this Lodge is independent devotion to the
cause of Theosophy without professing attachment to any Theosophical organization.
It is loyal to the great Founders of the Theosophical movement, but does
not concern itself with dissensions or differences of individual opinion.
The work it has on hand and the end it keeps in view are too absorbing
and too lofty to leave it the time or inclination to take part in side
issues. That work and that end is the dissemination of the fundamental
principles of the Philosophy of Theosophy, and the exemplification in
practice of those principles, through a truer realization of the SELF;
a profounder conviction of Universal Brotherhood.
It holds that the unassailable basis for union among Theosophists, wherever
and however situated, is "similarity of aim, purpose and teaching,"
and therefore has neither Constitution, By-Laws nor Officers, the sole
bond between its Associates being that basis. And it aims to disseminate
this idea among Theosophists in the furtherance of Unity.
It regards as Theosophists all who are engaged in the true service of
Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, condition or organization,
and It welcomes to its association all those who are in accord with its
declared purposes and who desire to fit themselves, by study and otherwise,
to be the better able to help and teach others.
"The true Theosophist belongs to no
cult or sect, yet belongs to each and all."
The following is the form signed by Associates
of the United Lodge of Theosophists:
Being in sympathy with the purposes of
this Lodge, as set forth in its
"Declaration," I hereby record my desire to be enrolled as an
Associate, it being
understood that such association calls for no obligation on my part, other
than
that which I, myself, determine. |
