ULT members say that the ULT policy and the non-leadership is a good model
for the rest of the Theosophical Movement.
That is a very interesting point. I for one would like to get more specific
information how that works.
Who decides which articles are in the magazine?
Who decides what lectures be hold?
Who decides which room is used?
Who decides which book is printed?
Has every ULT member the same right? Does that mean that articles are
written in serial order from each member who is willing to write something
up? Is there somewhere who can say NO?
If I would join the ULT today would I have the right to publish in the
THEOSOPHY magazine an article, say about Leadbeater, Purucker or Tingley?
The story how Mrs. Geiger as "President" (or the like) of the ULT in 1931
confirmed that Katherine Tingley was the rightful successor of Judge, who
appointed her, and later on elected by the board and later on elected by
5.000 delegates present, all including the later ULT founde Robert Crosbie,
is very interesting to me - I am sure also for the readers of the Theosophy
magazine.
Am I allowed to write an article of that kind for this magazine when I am a
member of ULT?
If the answer is YES as I assume from the words how free and liberal the ULT
policy is then I beg kindly for a member application from.
