The building idea you mention is a good one.
So one block, or hopefully un-block.

Her teachings were of *Universal* Brotherhood rather than of brotherhood.
Based in Atma-Buddhi, the 2 Universal principles.  Thanks for quoting the 3
objects from "The Key to Theosophy."  "To form the nucleus of a Universal
Brotherhood...."  Is to form the nucleus, developing/forming the higher
manas, of the Universal Brotherhood of Atma-Buddhi?
Mundane (hence they are plural) brotherhoods are often concerned about
themselves, and on rare occasions themselves and others.
*Universal* Brotherhood by its very Nature is ONE Brotherhood and thus
"concerned" with ALL.  ONENESS.

"The radical unity of the ultimate essence of each constituent part of
compounds in Nature - from Star to mineral Atom, from the highest Dhyan
Chohan to the smallest infusoria, in the fullest acceptation of the term,
and whether applied to the spiritual, intellectual, or physical worlds -
this is the one fundamental law in Occult Science."  (S.D., vol. I, p. 120)
