In this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the difficulties and dangers of being close minded.  It can be difficult to remain open minded when we derive much of our relational security from being right.  Our egos tell us that being right means gaining power, having autonomy, and ultimately finding acceptance.  Our sense of emotional security and even our own physiology can work against us making maintaining an open mind incredibly difficult.  Here we consider some of the reasons it can be profoundly difficult to live openly.  In part two, we discuss some of the ways in which we can become more self aware, keep an open mind, and not stand in the way of our own rational thinking and growth.
