well you may be correct in more ways than one.

ignorance is closed mindednes, closed mindedness comes from prejudice, prejidice comes from the mind, the thoughts. mainly the solidification and affirmation of thoughts.

in buddhism the to one of the many ways to enlightenment is through "no-mind" meditation. i havnt tried this yet mainly because it seems impossible for me to quiete my mind.

in absence of meditation i choose to strive for An objective existence, always open to new ideas, perspectives, views. I realize that reality is never definite. Everything is relative. I know that sounds contradictory. Its like the old saying, "the only certainty is that there are no certainties."
