In almost every post where this term comes up, it is made from a believer in nonsense towards a skeptic.
Translated it means, "If you do not believe in the fairy tales that I do then you are close-minded."
Apparently those of us who are rational and somewhat wise to the way of con-men and human psychology (read: self-delusion, projection, data-fitting and misinterpretation) are supposed to abandon all logic, knowledge and research that has shown virtually every paranormal claim to be an empty pipe dream.

keeping an open mind doesn't do much good if you neglect to guard the door.

93 Who is to say that all of those with views contrary to the generally accepted consensus reality do not use logic, knowledge, and research? Experience kicks theory in the ass. How one defines the experience are the only grounds from which a skeptic can attempt to debunk; This is where the experience must be judged from different viewpoints, and none totally discarded. When the ego barriers are broken down, both the inner reality and the outer reality are reconciled. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" 93 93/93

For having an open mind, I suggest the good old mechanic way: You take the head containing the mind:

And open it with the opener:

Now stop being crankey about it

An open mind is a good place to dump your garbage.

Well as I have been 100% right on everything from the Loch Ness monster to crop circles to pyramid power to telekinesis to the Harmonic Convergence to Planet X (and will be about 2012), etc. and have yet to lose a bet in 35 years in paranormal subjects, experience indeed speaks much louder than all of the fluffy books and websites and wacky theories put together.
However there is no limit to ignorance, self-delusion and people's desire to believe in magic so the 'battle' never ends.
JUST ONCE I WANT TO BE PROVEN WRONG in these matters, but has yet to happen.

i think being open minded and having an open mind are different
you do not want anything to just fall into an open mind
but being open minded is being aware of what goes in and in a way filtering

Naturally, you miss the point again and again. Skeptics rarely question experience, only interpretation.
Even MUFON states that AT LEAST 95% of UFO sightings are misidentification errors.
Still waiting for independent evaluation of your alleged 'implant'. Of course, it will never happen - and you wonder why few rational people take you seriously.
