Extending time
Our culture is obsessed with prolonging our time on this planet - with very mediocre results if judged by the stagnating or even declining life expectancy in the West.
One simple and underrated way to actually extend our time of being alive is to pay attention. Pay attention to each passing moment. Pay attention to each little distinction in our experience. Pay attention to the field of awake awareness.
Of course paying attention is not something we just decide to do because someone on the internet tells us to. Like everything else it requires dedication, practice and the creation of the right circumstances.
