Koot Hoomi stated in THE MAHATMA LETTERS:

"Neither our philosophy nor ourselves believe in a God, least of all 
in one whose pronoun necessitates a capital H. . . . Our doctrine 
knows no compromises. It either affirms or denies, for it never 
teaches but that which it knows to be the truth. Therefore, we deny 
God both as philosophers and as Buddhists. We know there are 
planetary and other spiritual lives, and we know there is in our 
system no such thing as God, either personal or impersonal. Parabrahm 
is not a God, but absolute immutable law, and Iswar is the effect of 
Avidya and Maya, ignorance based upon the great delusion. The 
word 'God' was invented to designate the unknown cause of those 
effects which man has either admired or dreaded without understanding 
them, and since we claim and that we are able to prove what we claim -
- i.e. the knowledge of that cause and causes we are in a position to 
maintain there is no God or Gods behind them." Letter 10 in the first 
3 editions.

Compare the above with what Master Serapis stated in several letters 
found in LETTERS FROM THE MASTERS OF WISDOM, Second Series:

"God's blessing upon thee, Brother mine." (letter 8)
"may the benediction of Truth and the Divine Presence of Him the 
Inscrutable be upon thee." (letter 10)
"God's blessing be upon you, " (letter 11)
"God's blessing on thee, Brother." (letter 13)
"God's blessings on you." (letter 14)
"God's blessing upon thee, Brother mine." (letter 15)
"God lead thee, Brother mine, and may He crown thy noble efforts with 
success." (letter 17)

Notice Serapis' use of pronouns with a capital H.

How does one reconcile the above views with KH's emphatic statement 
which reads:

"Our doctrine knows no compromises. It either affirms or denies, for 
it never teaches but that which it knows to be the truth."
