THE OCCULTISM ORGANIZATIONS EVALUATED BY THE MASTERS

 
 
In a letter that Master Kuthumi wrote to Mr. Allan Hume, on this matter he explained the following:
 
« If it has been constantly our wish to spread on the Western Continent among the foremost educated classes "Branches" of the Theosophical Society as the harbingers of a Universal Brotherhood it was not so in your case. We (the Chiefs and I) entirely repudiate the idea that such was our hope (however we might wish it) in regard to the projected A.I. Society. The aspiration for brotherhood between our races met no response — nay, it was pooh-poohed from the first — and so, was abandoned even before I had received Mr. Sinnett's first letter. On his part and from the start, the idea was solely to promote the formation of a kind of club or "school of Magic." It was then no "proposal" of ours, nor were we the "designers of the scheme." Why then such efforts to show us in the wrong?
 
It was Blavatsky — not we, who originated the idea; and it was Mr. Sinnett who took it up. Notwithstanding his frank and honest admission to the effect that being unable to grasp the basic idea of Universal Brotherhood of the Parent Society, his aim was but to cultivate the study of occult Sciences, an admission which ought to have stopped at once every further importunity on her part, she first succeeded in getting the consent — a very reluctant one I must say — of her own direct chief, and then my promise of cooperation — as far as I could go.
 
Finally, through my mediation, she got that of our highest Chief, to whom I submitted the first letter you honored me with. But, this consent, you will please bear in mind, was obtained solely under the express and unalterable condition that the new Society should be founded as a Branch of the Universal Brotherhood, and among its members, a few elect men would — if they chose to submit to our conditions, instead of dictating theirs — be allowed to begin the study of the occult sciences under the written directions of a "Brother." But a "hot-bed of magick" we never dreamt of. Such an organization as mapped out by Mr. Sinnett and yourself is unthinkable among Europeans; and, it has become next to impossible even in India — unless you are prepared to climb to a height of 18 to 20,000 amidst the glaciers of the Himalayas.
 
 
The greatest as well as most promising of such schools in Europe, the last attempt in this direction, — failed most signally some twenty years ago in London. It was the secret school for the practical teaching of magic, founded under the name of a club, by a dozen of enthusiasts under the leadership of Lord Lytton's father.
 
He had collected together for the purpose, the most ardent and enterprising as well as some of the most advanced scholars in mesmerism and "ceremonial magick," such as Eliphas Levi, Regazzoni, and the Kopt Zergvan-Bey. And yet in the pestilent London atmosphere the "Club" came to an untimely end.
 
I visited it about half a dozen of times, and perceived from the first that there was and could be nothing in it. And this is also the reason why the British T.S. does not progress one step practically. They are of the Universal Brotherhood but in name, and gravitate at best towards Quietism — that utter paralysis of the Soul. They are intensely selfish in their aspirations and will get but the reward of their selfishness»

OBSERVATIONS
 
The masters are most interested in developing the spiritual qualities in humans, and for those who show themselves to be more apt, then gradually they initiating them in practical occultism, but there are very few persons who already reach this level, and that is why the masters are so reticent with the occultism schools due to the great egoism that prevails in those places and that predisposes their members, sooner or later, to end up turning towards sorcery and black magic.
 
And that is why Master Morya in another letter added:
 
« It is he alone who has the love of humanity at heart, who is capable of grasping thoroughly the idea of a regenerating practical Brotherhood who is entitled to the possession of our secrets. He alone, such a man — will never misuse his powers, as there will be no fear that he should turn them to selfish ends. A man who places not the good of mankind above his own good is not worthy of becoming our disciple»
(ML 38, p.252)

This is the reason why there are currently no schools of practical occultism which are open to the public and are directed by the masters, and anyone who claims otherwise is lying.
