You could be pondering the meaning of life, which may make you feel philosophical today. It might be that by seeking a fuller understanding of your beliefs you recognize the need to be more open and willing to learn about new ideas. While searching within may provide you with some answers to the questions you have, perhaps this would be a good time to examine beliefs that are different from your own. Trying a new form of meditation or contemplative practice, or reading a book about a different form of spirituality are ways in which you can expand your metaphysical awareness and gain new insights into the world around you. If you can remember to keep an open mind and to respect the different ideas that you encounter, you may find that these new experiences bring you closer to the truth you seek.

Looking beyond the ideas and forms of spiritual practice with which we are comfortable allows us to develop a greater understanding of our world, for there are many paths to the same truth. Broadening our search to include something that is new for us causes us to question our own beliefs. When we are engaged in such inquiry, we are more likely to dig deeper into ourselves and the ideas that we hold in order to answer the questions we have. This search alone is an important step toward a greater understanding of the truth. Broadening your spiritual scope through different practices will bring you deeper knowledge today.
