Getting Real, Becoming Clued In

  
  
  

lama surya das quotesCan you see the world as it really is; are you ready to see yourself as you really are? We're on the cutting edge of the new millennium, and we have new terms to describe human behavior that the Buddha first talked about centuries ago.

"Clueless" is a workable, colorful word that on some level can be applied to most of us, for at least part of our lives. "Without a clue," "out of it," "in a fog," "not in touch with the real world," "can't see the forest for the trees," "controlled by fantasies," "spaced out." We could go on at some length, but all these words and terms reach the same conclusions.

Aren't we all somewhat unrealistic and even fantasy driven? Don't we all spend too much time in foggy mental states? Don't we mess up our lives because we don't process reality as it's objectively taking place? We tell ourselves stories about our lives; we tell ourselves what we want to hear, and in so doing we create and perpetuate fantasies.

This first step on the Noble Eight-Fold Path tells seekers to wipe the dust from their eyes, open their inner wisdom eyes, and discover clear vision. It tells us all that the time has come to "get real." Or at least as real as we get in this saha world.

Right View brings us in touch with some of the most important concepts in Buddhist philosophy. How do you perceive life, death, impermanence, suffering, dissatisfaction, and cause and effect? Do we really believe, and know, that we reap what we sow, or do we regard that as just another cliché?

In the West, we are typically conditioned to push these serious matters aside, telling ourselves that we will deal with them later. Buddhism says deal with them now, and you will transform your life.
