A DECLARAÇÃO DE BENS ERA PARA SER OBEDECIDA, E ISTO SIGNIFICAVA UMA VOTAÇÃO

My favorite photo of Claudia, (Soror K.A.). This photo was taken about a year before James Daniel Gunther was expelled from the O.T.O., and it was actually Gunther who did the make up job for Claudia. When Marcelo Motta died I received the news from Claudia. She wanted me to come to Brasil to assist and settle the affairs of his last will. I told her that I would accept anyone she told me to be the follower of Marcelo Motta. (Even if she made the claim herself.) I couldn't get the Visa nor the tickets for the trip to Brasil in time to go, and she did not call nor write again. I did not receive her letter of separation from Soror K.A. but from William Barden who wrote and told me that Claudia had resigned from the O.T.O., and her last words to Barden was she wanted to go live her own life. (I remember my first reaction was not to accept that my beloved Sister had betrayed Marcelo Motta.) When I read the letter that Claudia had written separating from the Declaration of Trust I realized that no follower could now be officially nominated in accordance to the instructions of his last Will. Make no mistake, any love for her as a Sister is long past. Any respect for her was wiped clean by her lack of moral courage and irresponsibility by separating from the Declaration of Trust. I have a special message for you, Claudia, if you return to see this photo. THE DECLARATION OF TRUST WAS MEANT TO BE OBEYED, AND THIS MEANT A VOTE. By separating from the Declaration of Trust you betrayed him. Go live your own life, Claudia. None of us here could give a polluted rat's fart where you are or what you are doing. You should have taken absolute command, absolutely. That you didn't have the spine to do this, shows us that you were unworthy of being in the Declaration of Trust in the first place. Claudia Canuto de Menezes's separation from the Declaration of Trust was the greatest problem toward a definite succession. She legally forfeited her right to copyrights, making Mr. Motta's commentaries and works difficult to find in Mr. Motta's native land of Brasil. I have read the Declaration of Trust over and over. Her betrayal cost my Superior any real legal succession. After she resigned from the Order, she told William Barden that she wanted to live her own life pretty much leaving the Order in limbo. (Not officially resigning from the O.T.O. in the Declaration of Trust makes her a very clever traitor...) Her dirty little ego would not let her understand what she had done. Instead of obeying her Superior's last will she rejected it and did what so many pupils did during the lifetime of Motta did, she became a liar and a traitor. Her words to me over the phone was she thought there MUST be another will, and she meant to rummage through old files to find it. Her ego continued on with no self control, no obedience to her duty and no understanding of that old paradox that if you obey your Superior even if you think he or she wrong, adjustment and understanding would prevail. In a letter that ended up with Peter Koenig in Switzerland she mentions that Frater Z was trusted by Mr. Motta and therefore might be worthy. Well, no one gives a fuck for Frater Z unless he was to vote in the Declaration of Trust. Her lifelong rejection of the Declaration of Trust are always justified by rationalizations that have no bearing on the real issue. Had she shown the character, control and duty that a Sister of the O.T.O. was supposed to have, she would of arranged a vote with those who were especially named in the Declaration of Trust.
