This effort to realize Theosophy constitutes the first step on the path of the would-be disciple. It is a study-course in applied Theosophy. That course may be followed by anyone. All one has to do to be admitted, is to start practicing Theosophy. The course is the same for all, the teacher is the same for all, the school is the same for all.
Life is the school, the teacher is Karma.
As a matter of fact we all are in that school, we all are under that teacher. Nobody prevents us, nothing stands in our way. The Path lies there for all of us to follow, open and unobstructed. The reason is an invisible obstacle, invisible because within the would-be disciple himself. It is a negative obstacle, the lack of something, something so simple that on account of its very simplicity it is not recognized.
