This is the only official channel for contacting the administrator of this site.

3. Philosophical Background: The Principle of Impersonality

Beyond practical privacy concerns, the anonymity of this website is rooted in a particular philosophical tradition. In alignment with the spirit of the United Lodge of Theosophists (ULT), this project emphasizes the message over the messenger.

The decision to remain anonymous is based on several core principles of the Theosophical Movement:

  • Focus on the Teachings: By keeping the writer’s personality in the background, attention is drawn solely to the “Teachers and the Teaching” (such as H.P. Blavatsky, W.Q. Judge) rather than to the imperfect individual presenting them.
  • Avoidance of Authority: Anonymity helps prevent the formation of personal followings, dogmatism and the emergence of “spiritual authorities” or “false gurus.”
  • Judging by Merit: It enables readers to evaluate ideas based on their internal merit and logic, free from distractions such as the author’s personal identity, status, or background.
  • Self-Effacement: Following the advice in The Key to Theosophy to “forget the personality,” this approach serves as an exercise in impersonality, aiming for a universal rather than a self-centered perspective.
4. Historical Context & Ethical Statement

This website examines historical works, primarily those of H.P. Blavatsky and other authors from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It may also include works from earlier periods. Please be aware of the following regarding the language and concepts presented:

  • Historical Terminology: In the original texts of The Secret Doctrine and contemporary works, terms are used that were standard in the academic or common language of that era but may be perceived as discriminatory, offensive, or ethically incorrect by modern standards (e.g., specific ethnic descriptors or terms like “Root-Races” and “Sub-Races”).
  • The Symbol of the Swastika (Svastika): This site discusses the Swastika exclusively in its ancient, cross-cultural, and sacred context as a symbol of cosmic evolution and vitality. I explicitly distance myself from any modern political or hateful misappropriation of this ancient symbol.
  • Approach to Editing: Where possible and appropriate, I aim to provide contemporary context. However, to preserve the integrity of historical documents and the specific philosophical meaning (which can be lost with modern substitutes), some original terms are retained. The use of these terms is strictly for academic and comparative study and does not reflect my personal views.
  • Universal Brotherhood: I explicitly distance myself from any discriminatory, racist, or supremacist ideologies. H.P. Blavatsky’s work was fundamentally dedicated to the “Universal Brotherhood of Humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color.” Any interpretation suggesting otherwise is a contradiction of the core theosophical tenets.
  • Disclaimer on Misuse by Third Parties: Neither the original authors nor the administrator of this website can be held responsible for the actions of individuals or organizations that have historically misappropriated, distorted, or “cherry-picked” these teachings to support their own personal ideologies or harmful fantasies. This also applies to present and future individuals or organizations.
5. Philosophical Disclaimer & Comparative Methodology

The core mission of this website is the comparative study of various philosophies, scientific theories, ancient teachings, and religions to identify synergies and underlying universal patterns. Regarding this methodology, please note the following:

  • Independence of Authors: The comparisons, syntheses, and insights presented on this site are the result of independent analytical work. They do not necessarily reflect the original opinions, beliefs, or intentions of the authors whose works are being compared.
  • No Implied Influence: Highlighting similarities between different works or authors does not imply that one author was directly inspired by or copied from another. Such parallels are often viewed within theosophical study as evidence of a “Universal Wisdom-Religion” or shared perennial truths that manifest independently across different cultures and eras.
  • Interpretative Nature: All comparative analyses are interpretative in nature. While I strive for accuracy and depth, the conclusions drawn are intended to foster reflection and study rather than to serve as an absolute or authoritative representation of the source materials.
  • Respect for Original Context: I acknowledge that every scientific or religious work has its own unique historical and cultural context. My comparative approach seeks to find common ground without devaluing the distinct identity of the individual traditions or researchers.

This website may contain links to external websites (e.g. the ULT or other theosophical resources). Although I select these links carefully, I have no influence over the current or future design or content of the linked pages. The respective provider or operator of these sites is responsible for their own content.
