The only test for a man's fitness to receive is the ability to perceive; and the only claim he has to see by the light is the power of seeing.
And that, perhaps, may explain to you what some think strange in our Society--we have no dogmas.

We do not shut out any man because he does not believe Theosophical teachings.

A man may deny every one of them, save that of human brotherhood, and claim his place and his right within our ranks.

But his place and his right within our ranks are founded on the very truths that he denies; for if man could not know God, if there were no identity of nature in every man with God, then there would be no foundation for our reception of him, nor any reason for welcoming him as a brother.

Because there is only one life, and one nature, therefore the man who denies is God, as is he who affirms.
Therefore each has a right to come; only the one who affirms knows why he welcomes his brother, and the one who denies is ignorant, and knows not why he has a right within our ranks.
