The essence of occult societies is their heirarchical structure; the essence of the Theosophical Society is its democratic basis.

The task of the Theosophical Society is to foster occult teachings and occult life by means of understanding. Rigid contrast between the occult current and the Organisation within the Theosophical Society.
