The ability to combine clarity with flexible, rational thinking, so that not only does one see things as they are, without the obscuration and distortion caused by preconceived notions and beliefs and illusory realities, but sees everything in its proper context - as a part of a greater whole - and always considers the likely consequences of what one sees, and of actions that one might take. Also, clear-mindedness involves the ability to routinely observe and be holding up to scrutiny the thinking process itself, so that one looks out for factors and influences that may be interfering with one's thinking and gaining of understanding of what one observes, and seeks to rectify or work around those difficulties.Clear-mindedness is thus both very deeply aware and very (flexibly) focused and practical - i.e. it is a very grounded state. Urban Dictionary
