Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01127)

Gregory,


Thanks.

Yet, in spite of its "co-masonic", or masonic origin, the Egyptian Rite (ER)  later on got to be more related to the Esoteric School (E.S.)  than to any masonic activity,  or so it seems --  does it not? 

What evidences or hints do you have about that?  There have  been two main "occult groups of activities" in the Adyar movement. Masonic lodges and the Esoteric School.  

Based on your sources, where do you locate the ER, in between these two poles?  As long as I know, it is situated above the ES, and it gathers the "summit" of the Adyar TS leaders; it is not above or related to the co-masonic order. But I would like to know your own views and  hints about it. 


Carlos.
