“A change of mind” is not what we typically see or experience within our selves or among others, particularly those in the public eye, with the result being a lie or at minimum deceitful.
All human mind-sets once established are “permanent”. We cannot erase them. Sort of like a judge ordering a jury to disregard something said or done in a courtroom, which can only be superseded by contradiction, not erased or ignored. Without contradictive knowledge we all revert to the mind-sets previously established. The single most individually restrictive mind-set is the one that automatically rejects all contradiction, and it is always a subjective mind-set. We mostly call that a closed mind, which is an accurate description of it, it acts like a barrier to new knowledge and enhanced understanding.
When we consider mind-sets we must make a distinction as to their creation within the mind, in other words how they come about. There are only two modes of thought that create them, one is subjective through perceptions and the imagination which is a reactive response, the other is through objective cognitive reasoning and analysis within the core mind.
The reactive becomes a mind-set instantly and confirmed only by repetition, whereas the reasoning and analysis of the core mind delays the establishment of the mind-set, and leaves it open to amendment. In either case no change ever occurs.
These two modes of thought are independent of each other at birth, even in the sometimes contradictive mind-sets they may contain. Which of these two modes is predominant determines the degree of mental maturity each individual may ascend too.
Subjective thought; is at the level of animal thought.
Objective thought; is and represents only, the potential acme of human thought.
