You are entirely right.

Any presentation of the use of psychism to gain personal power, use of, or
advantage over others, such as; separation into organized groups with a
private agenda; promotion or activity for purposes of personal gain or profit;
etc.--comes straight out of the "Brothers of the Shadow" or "Black Lodges"
whose motives are generally opposite to the aims and purposes of "The Brothers
of the Light" or "White Lodges" (and their "theosophical" teachings of
"Universal Brotherhood" and "altruism"--based on profound knowledge of the
Universal Laws and realities of Nature and of existence in general)

In America, you can usually recognize them by the psychic methods they teach
and use (and, In Tibet, by the color of their hats.:-) e.g.; Some in the
advertising business, and others trying to proselytize theosophists by
confusing the issues of Buddhism as an exoteric organized religion--(much like
the christianized pseudo-theosophy of Bailey, Besant, Ledbeater(sp?) and
others)--and pure theosophy as an esoteric "Buddhist" and "Vedanta" teaching).
