What does this phrase mean to you? The only right perspective is either no perspective or all perspectives.

That's a quote from the Buddha. So let's try and examine this phrase,

because this is usually referred to

as one of the eight means to Enlightenment, which is called correct perspective or right perspective.

Look around you right now at all the objects that you can see in your room just lightly

focus your attention on one object at a time.

And now look at your own body.

Look at your hands, look at whatever you can see with your eyes of your body, perhaps your clothes, your knees,

your legs. You are now looking with a certain perspective think of your eyes as

instruments of observation.

Just like telescopes and microscopes are instruments of observation.

Your eyes are the instrument of observation. You're not the instrument, you're the one who's using

the instrument. So the one who's using the instrument is what we refer to when we use the word I.

I am a man, I am a woman, I like Chinese food. I was once a baby. I was once a teenager. I am in love. You see the

experiences are different but the one who's having the experience, that which we call I, is always the same.

You are observing, using body your senses to observe.

Our experiences can be summarized as sensations in our body, you are the observer, and that observer has no form.

Why do I say that? I say that because if it had a form, then you would be able to see it.

You can't see yourself. You can only see what you're seeing right now. And you can't

see yourself, even in a mirror you can't see yourself because when you look at a

mirror you see your body and you see your facial expressions.

You don't actually see who is seeing.
