1. Right Sight

6. Brain Strain

Right sight is extremely close. However when all of the riddle is solved we will learn of a differnt word for sight.

Nope.

Each answer has a common thread.

Nope. Think of what an orator gives. And also where a republican stands on the political spectrum.

No. The creative side does control/support the left hand, but this question is talking about a means to support that creative side.

No. Although in the vernacular, saturation implies a draining of mental faculties, saturation is used here in the traditional sense.

peepul

Spoiler for the tree:

The peepul or pipal tree is absolutely the type of tree that this was. The personfication bit is what is missing. The tree was called the Bodhi tree. Bodhi is a Pali and Sanskrit word for "awakened". It is said that Siddhartha came up with the Nobel Truths and the subject of this puzzle underneath such a tree.

just guessing on some of the right theme words...

1. vista on the starboard side - 2 words right view

Spoiler for 1:

Correct!

2. legal guarantee with an anticipated outcome - 2 words right purpose or intent/ion

Spoiler for 2:

Correct: right intention

3. what comes out of a Republican orators mouth - 2 words right speech

Spoiler for 3:

Correct!

4. doing something per homophonic rite - 2 words right actions

Spoiler for 4:

Correct!

5. means to support the creative side of the brain - 2 words right thinking

Spoiler for 5:

Nope. Thinking may be the means to support the brain, but we need the word which literally means: the means to support.

6. appropriate exertion...to solve this riddle perhaps - 2 words right effort

Spoiler for 6:

Correct!

7. correct saturation of grey matter - 2 words right suffusion

Spoiler for 7:

Nope. You got the first word correct. If your brain is saturated, then it is what?

8. proper amount of substance per unit volume - 2 words right weight

Spoiler for 8:

Nope.

Good Job on most of them. Still need #'s 5,7,8. I've commented inside your spoiler, with my own spoilers.

Still need to figure out what these 8 things, taken together, are called. You seem very close.

#5

RIGHT inspiration

good try, but looking for a different word. It's what we call the things that people do to survive and support themselves. 9 letters

#8

RIGHT density

I'll accept~

Right concentration. This answer will make more sense in the context of the big picture.

means to support the creative side of the brain

:huh:

I thought of MOTIVATION but there are 10 letters in it!

ah ok. 10 letters is correct (not 9), but still not the word I'm looking for. Care for hints?

Hit me! :lol:

EDIT: One more try before the hint :)

INTUITION

Nope, but good try. :)

EDIT: Now it's nine again <_<

it's a concatenation of: the adjective form of "a concert seen in person" and "a slang term for where gangsters live"

Hey, did anyone get #7?

Mindfulness. I can't claim I figured that out though from 'correct saturation' = 'mind ful'. Just got it from knowing what these eight phrases are...

It's the Eightfold Path of Buddhism, yo.
