Theos-World Our true self in a transcendental divine life . . . that transcendental self, the Buddh, the Christ or God of every preacher.

Would most Buddhists reject outright what is said
below in the letter of the Chohan about "our true self
in a transcendental divine life" .... "that
transcendental self"?
Also would the Gelugpas and the Dalai Lama also reject
this teaching of the Chohan?
"Once unfettered [and] delivered from their dead
weight of dogmatic interpretations, personal names,
anthropomorphic conceptions and salaried priests, the
fundamental doctrines of all religions will be proved
identical in their esoteric meaning. Osiris, Chrishna,
Buddha, Christ, will be shown as different means for
one and [the] same royal highway to final bliss
Nirvana. Mystical christianity, that is to say that
christianity which teaches self redemption through
one's own seventh principle -- the liberated Para-atma
(Augoeides) called by the one Christ, by others
Buddha, and equivalent to regeneration or rebirth in
spirit -- will be found just the same truth as the
Nirvana of mystical Buddhism. All of us have to get
rid of our own Ego, the illusory apparent self, to
recognise our true self in a transcendental divine
life. But if we would not be selfish we must strive to
make other people see that truth, to recognise the
reality of that transcendental self, the Buddh, the
Christ or God of every preacher. This is why even
exoteric Buddhism is the surest path to lead men
toward the one esoteric truth."
