the eight fold path #1

#1 right perspective

seeing things from infinite points of view

takes us beyond perception

into seeing

that's what we call enlightened beings

see-ers

sunshine and rain and rainbows and clouds and water

and earth and the ecosystem of the earth

the history of the universe

the infinite void

the whole universe

pretending to be a chair

why bother with right perception?

because what it does is

it tells us that there are so many ways of looking at anything

the world is entangled

everything is connected

everything is synchronistic with everything else

with right perspective we have insight and compassion

we start to see things without having a won/lose orientation

we are more creative

we are more insightful

we are more inspired

integrate perspective might sound better than "right" perspective

it is nurturing and relational

realize everything is connected to everything else

intuition and a deeper understanding of interrelatedness

and that experience will give you compassion

and loving kindness
