Yet as I have shown in the previous post I was open because I changed my mind
And, I have already acknowledged that you were somewhat open. I always feel delighted when people are open and they see things for themselves.
Who and/or what is the 'my' in "my mind"?
What is the actual "mind"?
What does the "mind" change from, and into?
And, how can the "mind" actually be changed?

someone has made up their mind about something that it can never ever be changed again as it clearly can
But I would NEVER think any thing like that because, to Me, the Mind is NOTHING even remotely like what you "think" it is.
By the way What do you think the 'mind' is again?
After you answer that, then it will be revealed just how much difference there actually is between what 'I' observe and see and what 'you' observe and see, regarding the Mind, and the mind.

are forever true.
Why then make absolute statements?
What is the purpose of doing so?
Why not just make truth statements, like, 'I think ...... is correct', or 'I view ..... is correct because of past experiences show me ....'?

Ah okay, so you are
holding things to be true when you make them, but the truth is they might not actually be true at all.
My obvious question now would be Why
hold onto some thing as being true, when it might not be true at all?
In other words, Why not just remain open, always?

on because I no longer want to be certain about anything ever again
But you can be absolutely uncertain about every thing from now on if that is what you truly wish.
The ONLY thing that I am certain of is that I can do, achieve, and create that what I truly set out to do, achieve, and create.
