A Loving Atma Namaste Mhon!
Thank you for your posting below (Monday 4:42) Thank you very much!!
Copied it here - because it was not possible to SHARE it otherwise ...
Believe it is time for such perspectives to be more widely shared.
Here are our perceptions on your posting:
Exclusivity, Restriction, slandering individuals who disagree with or who are not wanted within a certain group, or spreading a Deliberately Distorted Viewpoint to people - with the Clear Objective of Power, Position, Money or Control - is a complete waste of time - over the longterm & creates massive Negative Karma for the individuals engaged in such pastimes.
Interesting that paragons of such activities appear to be so blissfully unaware of the longterm implications of their actions!
IF EVERYONE would simply focus on LIVING the Priceless Teachings ... with Complete One-Pointed Attention, Pure Dedication & Absolute Unwavering Devotion to their Beloved Spiritual Teacher - who is a God Realized Soul & who is One with All without Exception ... Spreading the Spiritual Teachings could be vastly accelerated.

Thank you for sharing this important message - which is already over 50 years old - judging from the source noted at the end of your posting!
Clearly these matters - have been reoccurring not only within our own Tradition - for the past 5 years since our Beloved Guruji Master Choa Kok Sui passed from His physical body - but for Centuries - in multiple Religions, as well as in countless Esoteric & Spiritual Schools.
Would say if we are collectively interested in making it into the Golden Age - it is time to LIVE & LET LIVE!!!

"
I would like first of all to make one point clear.
The great hindrance to the work of the majority of the esoteric schools at this time is their sense of separateness and their intolerance of other schools and methods.
The leaders of these schools need to absorb the following fact.
All schools which recognise the influence of the trans-Himalayan Lodge and whose workers are linked, consciously or unconsciously, with such Masters of the Wisdom as the Master Morya or the Master K.H., form one school and are part of one "discipline."
There is therefore no essential conflict of interests, and on the inner side — if they are in any way functioning effectively — the various schools and presentations are regarded as a unity.
There is no basic difference in teaching, even if the terminology used may vary, and the technique of work is fundamentally identical.
If the work of the Great Ones is to go forward as desired in these days of stress and of world need, it is imperative that these various groups should begin to recognise their real unity in goal, guidance and technique, and that their leaders should realise that it is fear of other leaders and the desire that their group should be numerically the most important which prompts the frequent use of the words, "This is a different discipline," or, "Their work is not the same as ours."
It is this attitude which is hindering the true growth of spiritual life and understanding among the many students gathered into the many outer organisations.
At this time, the "great heresy of separateness" taints them.
The leaders and members talk in terms of "our" and "your," of this "discipline" and that, and of this method being right (usually their own) and the other method which may be right, but it is probably doubtful, if not positively wrong.
Each regards their own group as specifically pledged to them and to their mode of instruction, and threaten their members with dire results if they cooperate with the membership of other groups.
Instead, they should recognise that all students in analogous schools and working under the same spiritual impulses are members of the one school and are linked together in a basic subjective unity.
The time must come when these various (and at present) separative esoteric bodies will have to proclaim their identity, when the leaders and workers and secretaries will meet with each other and learn to know and understand each other.
Some day this recognition and understanding will bring them to the point where they will endeavour to supplement each other's efforts, exchange ideas with each other, and so in truth and in deed constitute one great college of esotericism in the world, with varying classes and grades but all occupied with the work of training aspirants and preparing them for discipleship, or superintending the work of disciples as they prepare themselves to take initiation.
Then will cease the present attempts to hinder each other's work by comparison of methods and of techniques, by criticism and defamation, by warning and the cult of fear, and the insistence on exclusiveness.
It is these attitudes and methods which at this time are hindering the entrance of the pure light of truth.
