The kabbalistic perspective on open-mindedness goes far beyond the conventional interpretation of receptiveness and tolerance. When engaging in any sort of discussion, a truly open-minded person believes that his opinions and thoughts must be placed on a kind of back burner.
Complete attention must be given to the person being heard. For that moment, one must maintain a total disregard for his position or thoughts.
This level of consciousness is not something that comes easily, and yet, as you work on it today you will find that it comes if you put in the effort.
