There’s an old Tibetan proverb that I love:

“If you take care of the minutes, the years will take care of themselves.”

[Pyrate @CEOLandshark]

Turns out meditation actually increases your "frame per second" of observing reality, allowing you to feel less time and more presence, which means you also take in & process more data. This is also why life feels "more" and "more real" for meditators (and the opposite, the more you're dissociated, I think).

I remember this weird Russian entrepreneur+biohacker guy who wore hearing aids (to enhance his hearing - he actually had no hearing problems) so he'd be able to negotiate better - bc he'd catch people's smallest tonality changes and whatnot and knew where to push/pull, etc. Imagine that kind of a leveling up, but for your full 5 senses - and more, we shall not talk about here.

Makes you way more here, way more real, way more able, and so on. Truly the limitless pill, but better. I wonder where it starts to asymptote if at all.

@kushanmitra 'new mgmt certain to tighten belts..' on what basis are you saying this?

@dmuthuk applies for everyone.. it is just that in some places people object and in some places people can't object

The 4th dimension explained by Carl Sagan with just an Apple.

Imagine a civilization that exists in only 2 dimensions. They know only length and width. They have no concept of "up."

Now pass a 3D apple through their world.

They would never see the entire apple. They would only witness changing 2D cross-sections: first a tiny point, then expanding circles, then shrinking again until it completely disappears. To them, the object would appear and vanish without explanation.

Sagan used this idea, inspired by Flatland, to explain how beings trapped in lower dimensions can observe only fragments of higher-dimensional objects.

He later introduced the concept of a tesseract (hypercube), the 4-dimensional equivalent of a cube, pointing out that we cannot directly visualize it because our brains evolved to perceive only three spatial dimensions. We can only see 3D projections or "shadows" of a 4D object, just as a cube casts a 2D shadow.

This is where the discussion becomes fascinating.

If a genuine 4-dimensional object intersected our 3-dimensional world, would we witness the entire object... or only constantly changing 3D slices of it?

Could something appear out of nowhere, change shape, seemingly violate geometry, and disappear simply because we are observing only a tiny cross-section of a higher-dimensional structure rather than the object itself?

Modern physics already treats spacetime as four-dimensional, although the idea of an additional spatial dimension remains theoretical in models such as higher-dimensional geometry and some advanced physics frameworks.

None of this proves UFOs, extraterrestrials, or hidden dimensions.

But Sagan's demonstration reminds us of something important: The inability to perceive something directly does not automatically mean it cannot exist. Sometimes, the limits belong to the observer, not reality.

Osho,
What is the best way to encourage people in meditation?

The first thing: for a patient to go to the doctor, you must make him realize that he is sick; otherwise there is no need to go to the doctor.

So the people you want to encourage into meditation: first you have to make them aware that they are frustrated, perhaps for so long that they have forgotten that they are sad. They cannot remember when they laughed from their very hearts. They have become robots – they do things because they have to be done but there is no joy in doing them.

They are living an accidental life. Their birth is accidental, their marriage is accidental, their children are accidental, their job is accidental. Their life has no sense of intrinsic growth and direction. That’s why they cannot feel like rejoicing…

So first you have to make them aware of their meaningless, accidental, frustrated life. They know it, but they try to suppress their knowing in many ways, because to know it continuously is a torture. So they go to the movies to forget it. They go to parties, they go to picnics, they drink alcoholic beverages; they do everything – just to somehow not remember the reality of their life, their hollowness, futility.

This is the most important part – to remind them. And once a person remembers all this, then to lead him towards meditation is a very simple thing, because meditation is the only answer to all the questions of man. It may be frustration, it may be depression, it may be sadness, it may be meaninglessness, it may be anguish: The problems may be many but the answer is one.

Meditation is the answer.
And the simplest method of meditation is just a way of witnessing. There are one hundred and twelve methods of meditation, but witnessing is an essential part of all one hundred and twelve methods. So as far as I am concerned, witnessing is the only method…

The essential core, the spirit of meditation is to learn how to witness.

You are seeing a tree: You are there, the tree is there, but can’t you find one thing more? – that you are seeing the tree, that there is a witness in you which is seeing you seeing the tree…

I don’t want people to sit for one hour or half an hour in the morning or in the evening. That kind of meditation is not going to help, because if you meditate for one hour, then for twenty-three hours you will be doing just the opposite of it…

Witnessing is such a method that it can spread over twenty-four hours of your day. Eating, don’t get identified with the eater. The food is there, the eater is there, and you are here, watching. Walking, let the body walk but you simply watch. Slowly, the knack comes. It is a knack, and once you can watch small things….

Witnessing is finding your inside mirror. And once you have found it, miracles start happening. When you are simply witnessing the thoughts, thoughts disappear. Then there is suddenly a tremendous silence you have never known…

And when there is nothing to watch – then the revolution. Then the witnessing energy turns upon itself because there is nothing to prevent it; there is no object left.

The word object is beautiful. It simply means that which prevents you, objects you. When there is no object to your witnessing, it simply comes around back to yourself – to the source. And this is the point where one becomes enlightened.

Meditation is only a path: the end is always buddhahood, enlightenment. And to know this moment is to know all.
Then there is no misery, no frustration, no meaninglessness; then life is no longer an accident. It becomes part of this cosmic whole – an essential part. And a tremendous bliss arises that this whole existence needs you…

That feeling – that this whole immense existence is in need of you – takes all miseries away from you. For the first time, you have come home.

Osho
