For One to be Open,
all One must do
is not be Closed.
Aye; indeed t'is the rub
that such is so much easier said
than t'is done.
Yea, tho that be true;
t'is but the knowledge thereof, itself,
that arms the worthy Ones with the potential
to be Aware,
and thus
to overcome.
T'is not a matter of innate ability:
t'is rather a matter of choice;
of practice;
of attention:
of Openness.
Seek that you may become Open
*(not that you aren't,
but I know I so often forget
and thus I assume
that others must as well!)*
by attempting to train yourself
not to be Closed;
try to remember
to not be Closed.
It only shrinks your world.
Trust me: I've been there.
I sometimes forget to leave.
Moral of the story:
Seek to be an Open Person
rather than a Closed one.
I don't mean extroverted or introverted,
I don't mean monogamous or polyamorous,
I don't mean liberal or conservative,
I don't mean religious of atheist,
I don't mean anything like that;
It's much deeper:
more fundamental to your Self:
***Do not close yourself off.
That is damnation.
Remain in pursuit of Openness.
It is the best path to Awakening.***
