It is to be solved because this solution is necessary. There are enough movements that are idealistic and ethical. But the movement called Theosophy differs from others in that occultism consciously comes into its own in this movement. This clarifies the relationship between occultism and Theosophy. The Theosophical Society can never aspire to be an occult brotherhood. The strength it needs to fulfill its task, the life it needs, can only come from the currents of occultism. Therefore, the Theosophical Society will flourish when there is an understanding for the cultivation of occult teachings and occult life. This does not mean that the members themselves should be occultists. But if Theosophy forgets that this blood pulsates within it, then it may be an interesting society, but it will not fulfill what was intended by the exalted powers that stood at its starting point.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XVII.

Damit ist das Verhältnis des Okkultismus zur Theosophie klargelegt. Die Theosophische Gesellschaft kann nie eine okkulte Brüderschaft sein wollen. Was ihr Kraft geben muss zur Erfüllung ihrer Aufgabe, was ihr das Leben geben muss, das können nur Dinge sein, die aus dem Okkultismus herausströmen. Deshalb wird die Theosophische Gesellschaft gedeihen, wenn man Verständnis haben wird für die Pflege okkulter Lehren und okkulten Lebens.
