This was yet another of the Theosophical journals designed to patch over the breaches in the wall of Theosophical brotherhood (The Channel, Theosophical Forum, World Theosophy, etc.). The idea was first broached in 1930 by G. de Purucker and then spread to other branches of the society. This journal was decided upon at the International Theosophical convention held in Toronto in 1935 and was initially published in mimeographed form.

Claude-Generated Themes:   The bulletin of the Theosophical 'fraternization' movement, which in the 1930s and 40s worked to reconcile the rival Theosophical societies — Adyar, Point Loma, the United Lodge and independents — under the banner of universal brotherhood. Its pages are thick with the movement's core vocabulary: Blavatsky and the Mahatmas, the Secret Doctrine and its Three Fundamentals, karma and reincarnation, esoteric study and 'the Brotherhood of Man Without Any Distinction Whatever.' Convention programs, symposia and unity appeals dominate, often set against the era's anxieties about state suppression of religion in Russia, Mexico, Germany and Spain. It is a purely Theosophical periodical whose subject is the internal politics and shared doctrine of the Theosophical world.
