re "blind beliefs" and Theosophy

I think "blind belief re Theosophy" might do with some defining, for a start. And maybe if people started speculating more, using more quotes and qualifiers in an effort to indicate to themselves and others that "blind beliefs" might not be all that safe anywhere ... Well, not that that kind of thing might not be seen to over-promote possibly latent tendencies, in some cases, maybe, for getting into various less-than-wanted tangents, maybe, in some cases, but - And not that some tangents might not seem worse than some "blind beliefs," maybe, in some cases, but - This topic reminds me of "adding manas to mixes, in general." If "manas" is "karmic," and if the latter is "Mayavic"... then wouldn't there be various senses/interpretations that might, in turn, depending on one's definition for "manasic mix/es," result in the likes of "blind in one sense" and/or "sensible in another sense"...
Seems to me that, eg, cult-like activities/beliefs might result where various forms of speculative qualifiers are discouraged (as per Gordon Urquhart's THE POPE'S ARMADA ...). And I suppose all of us might want to more or less "decide for ourselves" something of other about how speculative or how belief dependent or how blind or whatever we might want to be about whatever. So what am I saying? Not much. (Thanks again, Leon, for pointing out about the circular nature of my speculative tangents. You got that right!)
