=>Do the ideas given in these quotes relate
to what is written about "God" in THE
SECRET DOCTRINE and THE MAHATMA LETTERS?

Yes.

=>If so,how?

Daniel, the images of God both from Master Eckhardt and Master KH are 
impersonal. It appears as immanence, transparence and permanence.

In the 1920'ies one of the many theosophical groups (I forgot which, either 
the Hartmann related ITV or Hugo Vollrath's) took measures meet the growing 
manasic decline which followed with growing membership. They initiated an 
oral examination of the TS applicant where the TS candidate ahd to answer 
questions from the commitee. One of the questions was: "What is the 
theosophical idea of God?" The right answer was: "Immanence, transparence 
and permanence." Only if the candidate was able to give satisfactionable 
answers he/she was allowed to become a TS member.

If I look around today were TS membership (at least in my country) only 
consists of the sub class, house wives and hysterical women who detect 
thinking as the greatest evil on Earth and blind worship as loyality as the 
fullment of HPB's dreams, which they never read nor understood, I sometimes 
wonder, what would happen when I would blast such a pseudo-theosophic TS 
audience with such a question.

I can foresee the answers of the real-existing theosophists of today: Such 
question come from the dark side! Thinking is bad, only Masters think! You 
are not allowed to ask such questions! We are much older than you! Go away, 
the TS is the Masters chela and the Masters know ALL! Don't disturb our 
harmony, etc. etc.

So, your questions have been answered.
How many points do I get?
