Open-Mindedness: A World In A Grain Of Sand?

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.”

According to one of Paulo Coelho's articles, the above lines, Auguries of Innocence by William Blake, might well define what it is called "new conscience." It implies: being able to understand that everything is linked to one another, what is called "the time of your life" (when you wish that time stops at one particular moment) is part of your life, and if you do an introspective scan of yourself would notice that is only you who can change your own reality.  To the concepts of a "new conscience", open-mindedness, I will add this: "There is only one move in all creation and that move is THOUGHT."

To see further than what your eyes can see and perceive and overwhelm fear –a product of your conscious mind, you need to have open-mindedness just to thrust your soul over circumstances that shaped your fate.

Believe it or not, this powerful truth could fit into our mundane reality. "To see a World in a Grain of Sand" and change your own life your mind should be open to notice the circumstances that prevent you from reaching your own nirvana. Open-mindedness will help you to head for the direction in which you can achieve your goals. In this way, you will be able to create your bliss –by shunning what upsets you; apart from evolving spiritually.

If you run across people who complain about their situation, your mind should think about the tools that they have at hand to turn their own life into what they desire. If they disregard them, it is because they can't see what they have. But if you go through a particular life and situation, you will find that what holds back a person is fear. Therefore, everybody shuns risk because their minds are not open to see beyond present time nor is there a way to change his reality. So, when you assay others and wonder about their conditions, just weigh them against their capacity and eventually their open-mindedness, and, in this way, you will find the reasons for their condition.

Unfortunately spirituality works on the same terms. Not by praying or self-denial you can make your spiritual quantum jump, but by being open-minded to embrace concepts –not understandable by many people who inhabit Earth- that shatter all the known credence about God and man and, above all, the reason for which you are on this planet -or dimension to name it in spiritual terms.

Open-mindedness is the key for any kind of evolution, whether it is just being this terrene or a spiritual level. Inside you lay all the elements to materialize all that you want, just as those masters who went through this level did in hours, days or years. They achieved this with the belief that anything that they had asked for would be granted by the Supreme Being, and it was so when their minds weren't an obstacle to working miracles. 

To discover yourself, you have to unlock the bar on your mind. And to see what you are, you have to experience what is not similar to what God does every day. It is complex but with open-mindedness you might comprehend this.
