To be openminded is to be receptive to the information of one's own senses and the process of one's own imagination.
Of immensely less importance are the opinions of others, which often will be lost in translation. A Non-directed Truth cannot be Expressed but only Described to one who has had the same experience. Yet Universal claims ignore the individuality of deeply personal experiences. One ought not to entertain them with some pretense to have an "open mind"; one merely consents to a temporary belief as though it were a fashion statement, divorced from one's own innermost knowledge and wisdom (from the past) and one's receptivity to the incontrovertible Present -- incontrovertible because it, like the Non-directed Truth, has not yet entered into the boxing match of argument and is not yet either "right" or "wrong" -- on this side or that.
