Closed Minded View

There’s not much life in something that’s closed, this is what happens when one’s free flowing energy is cut off by a closed minded view; the closing causes one to suffer…

A closed view is what causes one to get locked into only seeing things from the side of suffering. It matters little what that closed view is, as it’s the rigidness of being in a closed mode that doesn’t allow free flowing energy. The is what happens when a story is created and it becomes the closed view of what life is about in any particular moment. This becomes deeply ingrained as one becomes emotionally tied into whatever it is that’s being focused on. It’s very difficult to not attach to something that is held dear to our hearts, such as our children, spouse, parents, relatives, friends and so on. But you can have compassion, passion, and genuine love for something without attaching to it and being closed minded.

To me being closed minded is the normal view of most people and it’s why many suffer unnecessarily. I’ve noticed this occurring in so many lives and I can see the suffering it’s causing. Unfortunately those in the midst of this closed view cannot see it. Nor can one pull themselves out of it until the closed view is seen as the cause of their suffering. The closed view doesn’t allow the openness needed to be free from attachment and since attachment is the root of suffering, suffering is inevitable. The tighter the grip of something the more one becomes closed minded and the less free flowing energy there is in one’s life.
