Dear Ken Shaw,

This Masonic Order, "Le Droit Humain", which is called co-masonic because it accepts women, was founded in the 19th century and was "adopted" by CW  Leadbeater and Annie Besant as part of the Adyar Movement early in the 20th century. 

But only after old Olcott  was dead and when absurdities started getting wild.  

A few years ago, though, by 2002, this Order had a split. The masonic rite adopted and transformed by Leadbeater was not accepted  any longer by the Order  (based in Paris), and John Algeo and Radha Burnier then led a Split and the creation of another co-masonic order, pseudo-theosophical and Adyar oriented, formally led by Ms. Radha. 

In Brazil, half of the Order remained with Paris, the other half went on with Radha and Algeo into a new Order, and the split opposed members of the Adyar Society in a bitter way.  The same must have happened in other countries. 

It's a Leadbeaterian order and it believes in all his fancies about Saint-Germain and ritualism.

It also works as a power-behind-the-throne in the Adyar TS. 

Yet the true theosophical movement is far from being ritualistic.  The theosophical movement is based on the autonomy of the learner. It is not popish like the Liberal Catholic Church,  or authoritarian as the Leadbeaterian Masonic Order.  

Interesting to note: Jiddu Krishnamurti utterly condemned ritualism;  yet most 'Krishnamurtians', including Radha Burnier, are also Masons and take part in other forms of Leadbeaterian ritualism, as the "Egyptian Rite"...  

Someone should ask an explanation from them.



Best regards,   Carlos Cardoso Aveline,  from Brazil.
