' How do we not see it ? '...

...."the Way stands clear and undisguised".

How could it be anything else?

It's as clear as the fact that you have two hands and two feet. Or, as Bodhidharma said, "My eyes are horizontal; my nose vertical".

The curious and interesting question is: How do we not see it?

What do we do moment to moment to somehow manage to not see what's right in front of us?

Affirming Faith in Mind is full of answers to this question. The first suggestion is to examine your preferences. Wanting and not wanting, desiring and despising, attachment and aversion-these highly addictive components of the thinking mind set the ball rolling.

Like a cat chasing it's own tail, "we endlessly circle the six worlds". For most this process continues unnoticed until the last breath. It's a process of endless becoming more or less-the great self improvement project of being "me". How can we be free from this endless cycle of becoming?
