Theos-Talk Archives (October 2006 Message tt00043)

Carlos, I totally agree with you about this. The split has left many 
old members bitter, and since I have been on this forum my eyes have 
been opened to a great deal that I wish I had known before. But never 
too late is it? The reason I told Ken to write or contact Betty Bland 
is because she is in a position to truly enlighten him about the new 
co-masonic lodge that was started by John Algeo under the request of 
Radha. All of the members who remained with the NEW lodge are people 
who live and work at Wheaton. And the payoff for some of them was that 
they were awarded the 33rd degree which they never would have received 
had they remained with the old established "Le Droit Humain". So the 
carrot sticks were tasty indeed.

Subject: Theos-World "Theosophical CoMasonry"

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.
