Having “eyes wide open” means seeing without a mental lens. To see the world “as it is” means to distrust the body/mind paradigm to give accurate information. The eyes see a mirage and it is interpreted by the mind as real. Begin to doubt the accuracy of everything the eyes see and the mind interprets. Be more interested in That power which enables the body/mind to see and to interpret. Be more interested in the source of Consciousness Itself rather than what you are conscious of.
Drop all mental lenses. Each one: personal history, desires, sorrows, hopes, dreams, regrets, assumptions, opinions, prejudices, expectations, dislikes, likes and on and on. How? By watching how the lenses change our mental states or emotions. Observing the lens removes the lens because the emphasis has changed from being the state of mind, to just Being.
