The first belief is the mass-belief. If someone says, "There is a God", then everyone repeats after him, "Yes, there is a God." One might think that today, at this stage of civilization, people are too advanced to have mass-beliefs, but that would be a great mistake. People are the same today as they were a thousand years ago, perhaps worse if it comes to spiritual questions. Someone who is called "the man of the day" in a nation, is for the time being supported by the whole nation; thousands and millions lift him up, hold him high; but for how long? Until some still more powerful person says, "No, it is not so." Then the whole country lets him down.
