Profound Insights from Leo’s Open Mindedness Episode

[Jacobsrw]

After watching Leo’s video on open mindedness, a few things clicked. Implicit understanding which gets clouded by the ego was illimitable. Personally, I found the video extremely fruitful in many ways. It led me down paths of inquiry of my own in which I further discovered things beyond the content itself. The episode was a catalyst perse. Here some of the insights I came across both from Leo directly and my own contemplations.

•Open mindedness is not static, it comes in degrees and gradations, constituted by levels of relativity.

•One is not an “open minded” person but rather open minded situationally depending on the capacity of tolerance.

•To learn anything truely, one must first be open minded. Otherwise what will be discovered will only be within the parameter of an already existing position.

•Things that appear absurd and crazy are only so because you are closed minded to a paradigm different to it.

•Your level of open mindedness is predicated on the context of your existence. Where you were born is the determining influence on your level of openness.

•A thing is only what it is according to the limits of your level of openness. You only see the degree to which your openness has allowed you to see.

•Close minded paradigms use self defence mechanisms and threats to convince people of their paradigm. Fear is one very mechanism used to obscure open mindedness.

•People are open minded to the extent it serves their paradigm and close minded to extent it threatens it.

•Love is synonymous with open mindedness, fear is synonymous with closed mindedness.

•Imagination determines the action you are able to conduct. Without imagination you could not go to places not presently in front of you. A must first be imagined before it can be pursued.

•Imagination can be a tool to open the mind - since all is imaginary anyway.

Nice summary. Valuable lessons, if I do say so myself -- but hey, I might be biased
