I fully agree.

When TS was founded, all that was expected was to be in simpathy with the
first Object.
No belief was expected. Once you start with a belief, your mind gets closed
and will not see truth -- whatever that may be -- even if it stares at you.

May be over a period of time, a set of beliefs may have settled down in the
minds of some members because it is easy to believe something and it does
not require any effort.

PS: Some of the beliefs advanced in the US, talk about the inner objectives
as if the Founders had hidden objectives which were not discovered until
100 years later.
