The Theosophical Movement wants to be nothing more than a servant to Christianity. It wants to serve by seeking to extract the deepest core, the very essence, from Christian religious beliefs. In doing so, it hopes not to take anything away from anyone who is attached to Christianity, whose heart is connected to Christianity. On the contrary, those who understand the Theosophical Movement know that it is precisely through it that Christians can gain infinitely much, that infinitely many of the disputes that have arisen everywhere in Christian confessions today must disappear when the true core, which can only be the one core, comes to light.
