You could be more contemplative today, which may mean that you feel like exploring various ideologies and religious traditions. Your desire to ponder and investigate beliefs different from your own could be due to your need to broaden your worldview and expand your intellectual horizons. Perhaps reading a book about a belief system that is new to you or going to a meditation or discussion group today can help you delve more deeply into the myriad ideas that you wish to investigate. As you learn about differing thoughts, opinions, and beliefs, you may want to remind yourself to suspend judgment or criticism. Letting yourself simply take in new ideas without trying to fit them into your own belief system could open your eyes more fully not only to the diversity in the world but also to the different ways of looking at it.

Exposing ourselves to new philosophies allows us to expand our worldview. Learning about alternate ways of perceiving the world gives us greater insight into the true nature of reality; if we limit ourselves to one set of beliefs, we are also limiting our understanding of the universe. If we keep in mind that one of the ways in which we can move toward greater self-realization is from a deeper exploration of the things around us, we will be more receptive to examining ideas that are different from our own. By delving into new thoughts and ideas and reflecting upon them today, you will open yourself up more to the truth as it manifests itself in this world.
