"Like many, my Theosophical studies began with an open mind, with
predominant exposure to Leadbeater, Besant, Hodson, Jinarajadasa and
their commentators' information. After a number of years as a serious
and committed student I began lecturing for the Adyar Society and
even constructed and ran an introductory course for newcomers for a
number of years, based in part on the above authors' teachings. After
considerable work, this course was published and distributed
throughout Adyar Lodges in Australia, now very, very much to my
regret."
That means when you supported those authors you believed you were 
right. Now you don't think so. So truth is for most of the students 
is subjective or relative. You should say " I now think .... is right 
but I may be wrong because at other moment I believed opposite views 
were right"
