Liesel,

I wish to bring my opinion on this subject. I don't see any difference
between 'furthering the Brotherhood of Humanity' and 'forming a nucleus of
Brotherhood of Humanity'. First, we have to agree that there is already a
'Brotherhood of Humanity'. We know that we all are rooted in the One
Ultimate Reality, so the Brotherhood is a reality whether we realize it or
not. What we are trying to do IMO in the Theosophical Society, is to have a
group of people who are conscious of that Brotherhood. This nucleus will in
turn influence the rest of humanity to attain this realization. But we have
to start somewhere. That is why we need a nucleus.

Eventually that 'realized Brotherhood' will be shared by all humanity, and
the world will be a totally different world.

I agree with you that:
