THE UNITED LODGE OF THEOSOPHISTS

TO SPREAD BROADCAST THE TEACHINGS OF THEOSOPHY AS RECORDED IN THE
WRITINGS OF H.P.  BLAVATSKY AND WILLIAM Q.  JUDGE

U.L.T., founded in 1909, has Lodges throughout the world offering
regularly scheduled lectures and study classes that are free and
open to the public.  In other areas there are smaller study
classes that also meet regularly to study the original writings
of Theosophy.  TV programs are available in a few areas.  A brief
philosophic declaration is its sole guiding document.

DECLARATION

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 Philosphy 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.
