Closed Mind

There’s nothing beneficial when someone has a closed mind. What happens is free flowing energy is cut off by a closed mind which causes suffering…

A closed mind is what causes you to get locked into only seeing things from the side of suffering. It matters little what the closed mind is; it’s the rigidness of being unmovable that doesn’t allow free flowing energy. This is what happens when a story is created and it becomes the closed mind of what life is about in any particular moment. This view becomes deeply embedded as you become 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. You can have compassion and genuine love for something without attaching to it or being closed minded.

To me, a closed mind is the constant 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 a closed mind cannot see it, nor can one pull themselves out of it until it’s seen as the cause of their suffering. A closed mind doesn’t allow the openness needed to be free of attachment, and since attachment is the root of suffering, suffering follows. The tighter the grip of something the more closed it becomes and the less free flowing energy there is in your life. There’s not much life in something that’s unmovable and this is exactly what happens when your free flowing energy is cut off; the closed mind controls life and causes suffering…
