Opening our minds

  • August 1, 2016
  • 0

 

Think about current world events. Your thoughts might include: Trump and the election in the USA, immigration, terrorist attacks in Europe, Brexit, racial tension. Look at the image. Where does your focus land? Perhaps to the left where our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions and interpretation can lead to literal and metaphorical walls being built.  A closed mind comes when the culture, history, values and traditions of others feel overwhelming and threatening.

 

It is often a natural response.  When we feel threatened, physically or emotionally, we often go inward and hold on to what makes us feel sure and right.  How can we be more open and encourage others to look into the unknown, encourage uncertainty, and evolve so that we have a welcoming, and accepting mind which is open to new possibilities, new knowledge, freedom, limitless possibilities, and does not feel threatened?
