There is a thing as being too open-minded

[StarStruck]

Being too open minded doesn't give you time to integrate. 

In my opinion open mindedness should be complimented with being close minded in an intelligent way.

Being close minded to stupidity especially from others (or yourself) is a big virtue. As virtuous as being open-minded. Being close minded to egoism gives rise to transcendence aka open mindedness.

Close mindedness = confidence

Look at Mike Tyson or anybody who is great in anything. They are the most close minded people around. If they would be open minded and doubt themselves all the times they would second guess themselves and be impotent in what they do.

Both open-mindedness and close-mindedness have to do with the third eye (mind's eye) and just like a real eye it has to be intelligent to regulate the right amount of light to enter the iris.

Championing open-mindedness is one of the stupidest things you can do. In any realm. I see a lot of toxic SD green people do this and they suffer for it. It is one of the biggest obstacles to move from green to yellow.

This trickles down to work and private life, in relationships and spirituality.

once you recognise that everyone is acting from their level of pain they become easier to love

i have been to their depts of pain personally and know what they lacked all along was love

absolute open mindedness is total inner sielence

@StarStruck You are entirely correct.  If you aren't balancing open-mindedness and skepticism, you're setting yourself up for failure.  The term "radical open-mindedness" is just as bad as radical anything.
