They give it the connotation of tolerance, international synthetic communion, religious inclusiveness, and all trends of thought which concern the esoteric development of the human being.

“It is a group therefore without a terminology or Bible of any kind. It has no creed or any dogmatic formulations of truth. The motivating impulse of each and all is love of God as it works out in love for one’s fellowman. They know the true meaning of brotherhood, without distinction of race. Their lives are lives of willing service, rendered with utter selflessness and without any reservations.

“5. The personnel of the group is known only to the Elder Brothers of the race, and no register of names is kept, and there are only three main requirements:

“(a) A certain amount of at-one-ment between the soul and its mechanism is essential, and that inner triplicity (usually dormant in the majority of men) of soul, mind and brain must be in alignment and active.

“(b) The brain has to be telepathically sensitive in two directions and at will. It must be aware of the world of souls and also the world of men.

“( c ) There must also exist a capacity for abstract or synthetic thought. This will enable a man to leap over racial and religious barriers. When this is present also, there is an assured belief in the continuity of life and its correlation to the life after death.”
