Gottfried de Purucker & His Esoteric School

In 1929, Gottfried de Purucker wrote:

"I have been so near to our blessed K.T. [Katherine Tingley] for so 
many years, and she trusted me so fully, that better than anyone... 
I am able to speak as I do from my own intimate knowledge of her 
plans for the glorious future of our Society."
 
"All the Comrades here feel a supreme confidence in the future, for 
they know that the Work is fully safeguarded, and thanks be to the 
immortal gods! they trust the one who now assumes the reins of 
government in the line of succession from H.P.B., W.Q.J., and 
K.T...."

"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...."

"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."

Collated from some of G. de Purucker's letters to member of the 
Point Loma T.S. and Esoteric School.
