Tell me what do you do to stretch the limits of your consciousness? I want to learn as much as possible in all avenues, I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks for being candid and not condescending.

The best way to be more conscious of your world is to experience all you can. I think someone who is enlightened is someone who can really see things from a variety of perspectives. See how other people live, different cultures. Drugs arent the worst thing in the world either, just about anything is ok in moderation.

I love learning about quantum physics and learning ever new ways to open the mind. Not saying i know everything i don't, and wont be cynical, i hate that. But some Reading of philosophy and physics and some meditation will help enrich your mind? i am currently trying this avenue and so far i like the route.

I like to read books to expand my mind. I know, generic answer, but a book that impacted my life was Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. It may be a slow read, but it talks about philosophy and teaches you to become a deeper thinker. Philosophy is on of the best ways to expand you horizons. A philosopher learns to look at the world diferently than others and attempts to help them become no longer ignorant and realize their place in the world.

Find something that interests you and resolve to learn more about it.
You would be surprised how often one question answered leads to so many more questions all looking to be answered themselves.
Just remember to keep an open mind and not discount options that counter your ideas. Very often, the truth lay somewhere between fact and fiction!

Think for yourself, and then trust the feelings and thoughts that you have.
Try to become as uninvolved with mainstream, commercial media as you can.It's more of an influence on your thoughts than you would believe.
Read, explore and travel.
Good luck & have fun.

Im always thinking, so i guess im always expanding my mind.
I guess ways i expand my mind would be:
I smoke weed, then i (at least i feel and think this) absorb everything and think about in broad and narrow prespectives. Like i read books when im high and i really go into indepth thinking about it. And when im high and just sitting somewhere zoning out i think about i guess pscycholgical stuff.
When i took mushrooms i freaked out and had horrible hallucinations and thoughts, I kinda think that shrooms bring out what your mind really is. (or i just took too many and fraked out. :P)
Well their ya go, i could write for about another 10 minuets but screw that.

If you mean by being well rounded and educated in all aspects, then clicking the random article button Wikipedia can teach you a lot.
