THE CLOSED MIND SPEAKS
I'm proud to be a Closed Mind.  I received most of my programming before the age of eighteen.  I absorbed it easily; as it was given to me by my parents, teachers, church and friends.  All data entered without question; as I learned early that independent thought, or questioning the validity of anything being taught, would cause me to suffer emotional or physical punishment for my actions!  Now, I accept all I learned as a child as truth and the only way to think.  I refuse to allow any new data to enter my mind now.

I've learned I must not listen to what my body tells me and to stifle any physical needs and desires, which are contrary to what is considered ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR by general society.  I use my programmers and what they taught me to help fight people who dare to think differently from us.  Their different thinking might prove my PROGRAMMING is incomplete, outdated or unrealistic, so we can't allow that!

We must fight these Deviant Minds as we can't take the chance that their ideas could enter my consciousness!  This would force me to give their viewpoint intelligent consideration!  I could blow a fuse or suffer trauma to my circuits as I haven't used my data input section for years!!!  Conflicting data would surface, which I'd have to deal with!!!  If it made sense and  decided to do it, then I'd be punished by the people whose opinions are so important to me and I can't survive without.  I choose not to do this mental exercise, as it is easier, safe and more comfortable for me to remain as I am.  I will fight to keep any new data from entering by using my emotions of hate and anger against any Open Minds who threaten my security.

I will use anything I learn from the media to justify my restrictive thinking and fears, like AIDS.  This proves what my programmers told me.  That when you let yourself enjoy your sexuality or listen to your body's needs, then you will suffer the torments of the damned and surely die!!!  Now, I have a justifiable excuse for my fears about sex and I can also use it to stop other people from enjoying their sexuality too!

THE OPEN MIND SPEAKS
I am proud to be an open mind, who allows new data to enter, as I think it is fun to evaluate it against any old data.  I'm constantly searching out new ideas and concepts, then I can evaluate it, erase and delete all molded or unrealistic ideas and concepts, if they are impractical in my current reality.

This is fun, besides, it keeps my circuits free of dust and litter and gives me a zest for life.  I love the challenge new data provides and I don't delete anything until I've given it sufficient intelligent consideration from every angle.

I consider much of what I learned from my childhood teachers to have value,  but some of it was distorted by their fears and misconceptions.  Many of my teachers told me not to do something and turned around and did it themselves!  If what they were telling was truth and had value then why did they do it?  This contrary action taught me to analyze all incoming data for myself!

I'm constantly learning, growing and expanding my intelligence.  My body and I are good friends, who allow each other to function as we should.  We accept all evaluated new data when it doesn't do harm to ourselves or to other people. 

When I determine that a certain sexual pleasure may be enjoyed by my body, I explore this new data.  When enough exploration has been done to determine if my body would enjoy it and I can mentally and emotionally handle it, then I bring up the conflicting stored data about the pleasure and erase it.  Now the body is free to enjoy without mental or emotional trauma.

My body always asks me, it's best friend, about any new sensation and we allow ourselves to love, are and enjoy other new people socially and sexually.  We don't judge people by external conditions, as we love their differences from us.  The more different thinking they are, the more interesting, challenging and greater teaching tools  they are!!!

We don't judge people according to how they enjoy their sexuality, earn a living, how much money they have, their age, weight, race, or religion, or if they think the same way we do.  We only decide whether we desire a relationship with them or not by how they treat us personally.  We evaluate whether they can be a good friend, who is capable of showing us love, friendship and respect us enough to be truthful and honest in their dealings with us.
