Brigitte: "The truly ideal state was a spiritual aristocracy that recognized that all men were not born equal, that there were older as well as younger brothers in the human family.>>>

G de Purucker wrote that Theosophy has seven major teachings, and one of these is the doctrine of hierarhcies.

We may be equal spiritually but not physically or mentally, and this idea is indeed, the logical fallout of Blavatsky's evolutionary scheme.
