QUOTE 1

"Thrice recently, before and since the 
passing of K.T. [Katherine Tingley] has 
one of the Great Teachers been with me 
here in Loma-land. I will open my heart 
to you and tell you something. The two 
Masters who originally founded the 
Theosophical Society, and who are the 
Chiefs of the E.S., are still working 
with the Society both inner and outer, 
and for it.... Each of these two has 
progressed far along the Path of Initiation 
since H.P.B.'s days.... 

"I have seen and conversed with Master M 
within this last month, and twice has 
Master K.H. been in my office, once alone, 
and once with a chela, who said not one word, 
but whom I knew to be a Tibetan of high 
esoteric rank. These conversations are of 
course a very holy and precious treasure 
to me, and in them I was shown the future of the Society, what to 
expect and what to look forward to; and I again pledged myself in a 
manner of which I may not speak, but which I feel it my duty to tell 
you of.... 

"I have opened a little to you the door that was opened to me. I 
hereby give you my full confidence and trust, and assure you that 
even as you will be loyal and devoted to me, your Leader and Official 
Head, and your Teacher of the E.S., so shall I be utterly devoted and 
true to you. May the sublime Light of the Great Lodge, the Light of 
the Tathagatas, burn in your hearts and minds, and lead you into ways 
of peace. 

"Written in the Masters' names, and under the authority that has 
devolved upon me, this twenty-ninth day of July, 1929, according to 
the current calendar, at the International Theosophical Headquarters, 
Point Loma, California

QUOTE 2

"O! the brilliant, magnificent promise of the future! If I can only 
infuse into the membership of our Society all over the world, the 
enthusiasm, the power, the Lodge-force, that is now pouring through 
me, our successes will be unspeakably brilliant! You will assuredly 
receive in time some of this Lodge-force; for as I am the 
intermediary or mediator between the Great Lodge of the Masters of 
Compassion and Wisdom and the general membership of the T.S., and 
more particularly of the E.S.: being the channel through which the 
Lodge-forces pour: so also am I therefore the Teacher, and will hand 
on what I may and can to those who prove themselves fit and ready to 
receive. 

"Consequently, it will be my duty as soon as time and strength permit 
me to do so, to issue new E.S. teachings of a far deeper and more 
esoteric kind than those which were issued even by H.P.B. or by 
W.Q.J., or by our Beloved, Katherine Tingley. This I can do for the 
simple reason that these, my three great Predecessors, never had the 
opportunity to do what Karma now impels and compels me to do: to 
besiege the Portals of Destiny and to open a way into the Mysteries, 
because the members, through the life-work of our beloved K.T., are 
now ready to hear and therefore to receive what I can give them -- an 
opportunity of incalculably splendid promise which neither H.P.B. nor 
W.Q.J. nor even K.T. had."

QUOTE 3

"The fundamental cause of the trouble and distress in the other 
Theosophical Societies ... is that none, outside of our own, 
recognizes and follows a responsible Teacher and Leader.... 

"The great need of the Theosophical Movement, as contrasted with any 
Theosophical Society, is a living pulsating Heart, and an 
esoterically trained Mind, such Heart and Mind united in a Teacher 
and Leader whom all can trust.... The lack of such a spiritual Head 
accounts for the actual existence of these various Theosophical 
Societies,... 

"Were all the Theosophical Societies to recognise one common Head as 
Leader and Teacher, my conviction is that all these troubles and 
intestinal difficulties and squabbles and the internecine war 
that is so frequently waged among them, would vanish as mists before 
the Sun.... 

"Of course this is but one way of expressing the fact ... of an 
esoteric succession of authorised and capable Teachers and 
Leaders ...."

QUOTE 4

"It is futile, it is even childish, to point to an occasional 
statement here and there, made by H.P.B. or by Judge, to the effect 
that no Master of Wisdom will be sent to the western world until the 
last quarter of the Twentieth Century -- if even then."
