  2. These writings come from various times and places in which the meanings of certain words may be different to the meanings generally understood today, and that, if doubts arise in the mind of the reader, it may be necessary to investigate the meaning and context of the words as they were meant by the author. The word ‘brotherhood’ reflects the unity of life and is inclusive of all genders and all people, being free of the distinctions as shown in the Theosophical Society’s first object. The word ‘Man’, used in the Society’s third object internationally, has a technical meaning in metaphysics, referring to collective degrees of consciousness expressed through subtle vehicles of matter—expressed at the Temple at Delphi as ‘Oh man, know thyself, and thou shalt know the Universe and the gods’. It is etymologically derived from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning ‘thinker’; is related to the sanskrit words Manas, meaning ‘mind’ and also Manu, the human progenitor of all humanity; Mahat ‘divine mind’; and Men ‘to think’, the basis of the words mental, manage etc; and therefore here is inclusive of ALL people. In Australia, the objects are generally printed with the expression ‘the human being’ as a substitution for the word ‘Man’.
