It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

A quote by Aristotle.

How open-mindedness works.

In this episode, we're going to be revisiting the classic topic of open-mindedness that I've talked about in the past.

I've referred to it as radical open-mindedness. This is the master key that you need if you

care to understand the reality to any significant degree. This is your biggest obstacle. This is the number one obstacle that people have

when it comes to understanding reality. And by understanding reality, I mean everything, all of it, every aspect of reality, holistically, and how all of the different

facets fit together and relate to you and to your life.

So if you want to understand yourself at a deep level, if you want to understand emotions at a deep level, if you want to understand humanity at a deep level, society at a deep level, reality, science, religion, spirituality, metaphysics, philosophy, if you want to understand all of this stuff,

radical open-mindedness is the key.

But what is open-mindedness really? Let's take a deep look.

Openness versus closedness, these are features of the mind.

Your mind can either be open or it can be closed.

And of course, this is not a simple binary.

There's a spectrum of degrees here.

There are many degrees of open-mindedness. And even if you fancy yourself an open-minded person

I would challenge you to stick around and keep listening because it's not enough just to be open-minded.

It's a question of how open-minded are you, like really, how deeply open-minded are you?

And chances are if you're following along with me and you've been watching my content for years or for months even you're already you have to be a relatively

open-minded person more so than the average person in society but that's still not going to cut it for you to really be able to understand reality at the

levels that we're interested in here.

So the I guess the key point of this episode is going to be more experiential than just theoretical.
