Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-path-right-view/

The mind is one of the most complicated things in nature and to have the mind understand itself is a difficult undertaking. In Buddhism, the need to see how the mind irritates itself, including when it wrestles with spiritual concepts, can betray levels of stress no different than wrestling with other worldly concepts. In this series we will look at the Buddhist Eightfold Path where those intricacies are examined. Now it's important to look at Buddhism both from the angle of becoming a monastic, and that of the lay person. The following information leads one to rest in the right brain more often and a monastic at most is doing manual labor, reading, memorizing texts, and meditating. The sangha provides an environment to allow old conditioning to starve and new conditioning to take its place and then eventually to let go of as much unhelpful conditioning as possible. They are recusing themselves from being in regular jobs in business and government where much of these practices are compromised with work politics, meeting deadlines, currying favor, being promoted and being rejected.
