Remember Mindfulness \u2013 review expectations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Openness<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you try to explain Shakespeare\u2019s Hamlet <\/em>to a group of African tribesmen, as an anthropologist did some years ago, you will get a different interpretation of its twisted plot from that of an Oxbridge graduate. Perhaps Hamlet really was bewitched by his uncle and perhaps Laertes killed his sister Ophelia to sell her body, as the tribesmen insisted \u2013 who really knows what Shakespeare was thinking? The point is that we must keep an open mind and embrace new ideas because in truth, our own ideas and attitudes have not served us very well in the past. Am I prepared to keep an open mind and embrace new ideas rather than being dogmatic and judgemental?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open-mindedness leads us to admit the possibility of error on our part and allows us to think that even long held beliefs might be incorrect. It gives us the courage to change our minds and accept our own fallibility. Intellectual and spiritual progress depends on the discussion and adaptation of ideas without rancour, blame or shame. The alternative is stagnation. Today I ask God for openness of mind so that I can enjoy new ideas.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
