Dear Mrs. Radha Burnier,
Fraternal Greetings.
The motto of the theosophical movement can be understood, in one of its meanings, as “There Is No Dharma Higher Than Truth”.
We write to ask you respectfully to take the chance before you to, definitely, help restore the truth on William Quan Judge.
A small but growing number of students and theosophists around the world, including from the Adyar Society itself, recognize the importance of this loyal companion of HPB and devoted follower of the Masters.
Judge was one of the main founders of the Theosophical Society in 1875 and his life and work remain as a true source of inspiration for many who wish to advance on the path of righteousness and service. It will be clear, to those who investigate his life, that the main reason for the strength of his teachings and example is that he never left the firm ground of theosophy as taught by HPB and the Mahatmas.
International leaders of the Adyar Society do not need to obstruct the way to truth; they can take advantage of the opportunity instead, and promote a fair investigationabout the so-called “Case Against Judge”.
The fact is that, until today, there was not presented a single valid reason, from the point of view of justice and truth, to persecute him who, besides co-founder, was international vice-president of the original Theosophical Society. Although it may be inconvenient for some people, the truth is that there is not a single factual reason not to open the Adyar archives to an independent research team.
The available evidences up to now point towards political reasons for the rumors and slanders freely circulated against Mr. Judge until they caused a split in the movement. Truth can sometimes be painful but never an offence.
It is undeniable that today a part of the Adyar Society starts to value positively the life and work of W.Q. Judge. The old sophism according to which “too much time has passed for making justice” now misguides a decreasing number of members of the Adyar Theosophical Society. In the light of karmic Law, it is never too late to undo an injustice. Truth can always be reestablished. It is never too late to learn from the past, and is never too late to do what is right.
Growing sectors of the Adyar Society realize that there is no brotherhood without justice and truth. To build brotherhood requires courage, frankness, sincerity and solidarity. The task implies detachment in relation to any political tactic promoted by organized ignorance and its ritualistic and bureaucratic structures. It is therefore necessary to confront the pseudo-theosophical illusions that weaken the Adyar Society.
What is the example and the message that the international leadership of the Adyar Society can and wants to give to the world and to future generations in the threshold of this new cycle?
That it insists in avoiding uncomfortable subjects? That it is afraid of recognizing the fact that its power structures are based on authority and not on the strength of theosophical ideals? Or that it has the ability, as some of its members have already demonstrated, to regenerate itself and fulfill its true mission?
As William Judge himself taught, the theosophical movement will never be greater than the moral vitality of its members.
We sincerely believe that you are in the right place and in the right time to do what is correct, and you have proved, with your integrity, that you are able to promote a genuine reconciliation with truth and justice.
This will be, undoubtedly, one of the most decisive steps ever taken for the unity among all theosophists. Union is strength, and the world needs and is eagerly waiting for a strong and healthy theosophical movement, that points to the bright future ahead and offers the best solutions to human suffering.
That future begins each new day.
Fraternally yours,
Mr. Joaquim Soares and Ms. Magda Loios
