1. GC: You will have before you the entity, [1757], present in this room, and the manuscript and chart in which he has endeavored to outline a plan for operating as a brotherhood, for the purpose of demonstrating the authority of the Divine laws as they work for man's good, when complied with, by practicing the principles of brotherhood. Considering that it has been given through this channel that this plan can be made useful as a means through which the Great Hierarchy may bring good to the world, you will give the entity any advice needed at this time in regard to obtaining a charter; answering the questions he submits, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the inquiring mind [1757]; together with the data that has been prepared outlining the activity of the Brotherhood; this we have had before.
3. In the main, we have that as may be the basis of the outline for the preparation of the manner of organization. To be sure this may be altered somewhat. When the first groups are selected to be considered as managers or as the hierarchy in the organization, there might be minor changes. The principles, as we find, are here. There only needs to be made the practical manner of application in which various groups in various portions of the country may be organized or set in motion. For, these - as we have indicated - should include in each group, under the various headings, such as: Farmers, dairymen, engineers, railroads, ships and shipyards every form of activity; lawyers, schoolteachers, doctors, all of these would work together in their varied fields of service, but as a Brotherhood. With a single ideal and purpose.
4. The ideal is indicated in the chart itself, as to how the varied groups are to be formed and correlated with other groups in their relationship to the one central theme or the one central ideal.
5. As soon as there ha been formed the central group - which shall necessarily include three, six, nine, twelve, or
1757-3 Page 2
fifteen, the various groups may apply for charter under the organization for non-profit organization in an ecclesiastical order. Though this is not as a church it is a spiritual movement within every group, every form of activity, and this should be so set up in the form of application for charter to act in that capacity, designated for such activities. In this form it may then be made as an international activity. If there is the approach first through such a group who are in the position for this to be made as a national charter, then this may be allowed before the Senate itself; though as we find, while this may come later, it would be better formed first in a state; such as in Virginia, Texas or California. These have the same rating in regard to reorganizations of a national nature, as indicated to be the central theme of this group.
6. Do it through that manner of means, then, by choosing those that would make application, when the by-laws, the regulations, the various groups are to be solicited or allowed to become a part of such an organization.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Is the "Idea" proposed in the script and in the chart, in line with the Great Brotherhood's plan for the world? (A) As just indicated the idea is in line, but the setting of the various groups as indicated should be specific - as individual heads in each varied group, see?
9. (Q) Is there a possibility of making it practical and developing it into an instrument of usefulness to the Master? (A) As just indicated this should never be lost sight of - that it is a united Brotherhood of every group and never a political factor at all; rather as a spiritual means of attaining united effort by prayer, by living, by BEING.
10. (Q) Can you suggest other individuals who might be interested in the project? (A) These will necessarily have to be chosen, as indicated - three, five, nine, twelve or fifteen to prepare and draw from the plans and ideals a charter for such an organization. This necessitates, of course, a lawyer - to go through the regular channels. As to who - anyone. The first to be approached would be such as the Vice President [O. I. Bryan, Vice-President of Union Life Insurance Company, Inc.]. For, this plan is in keeping with many of his ideals.
11. (Q) Can you give some information as to how to obtain charter? (A) Just as indicated, have the lawyer draw it up. It necessitates, then, a meeting of whoever is chosen; as three, five, nine, twelve, fifteen. There should be as many
1757-3 Page 3
as twelve but it can be done with three but not less than three.
12. (Q) Is there a specific time for its presentation? (A) Whenever there can be those sufficiently interested to begin, commence.
