1) We have a Board of Directors, Council of Elders, Spiritual Director, President, leadership team and hardworking staff and volunteers who are doing everything they can imagine to let others know about this path… -Rev. Lois Drake: 7-1-2017 Lois Drake is the middle figure:
So we need to know who is the Council of Elders and what is the actual basis for “Spiritual Director” if any. -r, mt. shasta, ca

As of 3-9-2009, as sent out from the RTR, the 24 member Council of Elders of the Summit Lighthouse are comprised of these:
Sidney Bennett, Lois Drake, David Drye, Rose Gadigian, Kate Gordon, Hertha Lund, Tina Stori, David Kravitz, Neroli Duffy, Peter Duffy [but these are SUPPOSEDLY the chelas’ broad representatives!, NOT the Executive Board of 8!!—O, THIS IS THE POWER CLIQUE RUNNING THE WHOLE RTR OPERATION . -r], Bonita Frazier, Carla Healy, Timothy Kingston, Paul Kyei, Stephen Macchio, Frances MacPherson, Scott McBride, Kathleen Moorcroft, Julie Pollard, Eleanor Rosenzweig, Gilberto de los Santos, Jaspar Soni, Jon Springer, Gene Vosseler.
Now suppose it takes two-thirds of the 24 member Council of Elders–that would be 16 members–to remove by vote an Executive Board member. With 8 Executive Board members serving also on the 24 member Council of Elders, this vote of 16 to remove looks like it would be up against a united block. Perhaps (?!!) there is a reason why 8 serve on both of these RTR groups. Did you know that in the 1980s Morya directed Mother to create a broadly representative-of-chelas Council of Elders, yes, with Krister and Francis coordinating between that body and Mother? -r

3) Michael McCann on 2-21-2004 emailed the following:
Church attorney, Hertha Lund wrote the following epistle on “Why Nothing Should Change.” In essence, she takes 19 pages to conclude the following:
-Saint Germain and the founders did not want democracy
-Those who have called for democracy have erred
-If voting on leadership was a way to be happy with leadership, we should have been happy with Bill Clinton.
-At no time have the Masters asked us to focus on governance. (This is true if Mother’s and the Masters’ direction to reorganize is ignored. -MM)
-I find that Church historical documents strongly uphold a Theocracy and Oligarchy.
-Maybe we should consider such a move (democracy) if El Morya or Saint Germain appears and tells us to take this organization in a direction that contradicts the Masters’ teachings, Mother’s teaching, Mark’s teaching, the articles and by-laws laid down by Mark and Mother, and several centuries of philosophy on government.
Despite Hertha’s weak arguments and condescension, we should not diminish the significance of her conclusion that the Aquarian model for our Church is oligarchy for this justifies infallibility. I believe it was Aquinas who said, “Rome has spoken, it is enough.”

4) Some miss the eye of Morya by not looking. Others, too dense to see at all, pass on through as though the master were not standing in the way. I chide the ignorant ones, for ignorance is not a state that need remain.
So much given with so little return; the Karmic Board demands more. And I present a standard which you ought to have presented to yourselves. Failing to perceive the level of initiation, you walked under instead of leaping over the bar.
And I am concerned that you fail to discern the jeopardy of your own soul! For that jeopardy in which you have placed your soul, beloved one, is by the subtle mode of selfishness and self-concern that, without enlightened self-interest, says, “I will help me and mine, and someday it will pay off and I will bring some gift to Morya.”
