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._"
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.
The foregoing is the Form signed by Associates of the United Lodge of
Theosophists.
Inquiries are Invited from all persons to whom this Movement may
appeal. Cards for signature will be sent upon request, and every
possible assistance furnished Associates in their studies and In
efforts to form local Lodges. There are no dues of any kind, and no
formalities to be complied with.
_Correspondence should be addressed to_
