Declaration 
of the United Lodge of Theosophists (ULT)

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.
