Resolution

I have a feeling that consciously increasing this resolution in our minds is one of the better ways to go about life. Before you wonder what undying promise I'm speaking of, lemme clarify, resolution is not a promise. It is your sensitivity to information. The higher your resolution, the more the amount of information you see in a frame ( time-frame, thought-frame, any frame). Likewise, if your resolution is low, you tend to notice only the glaring facts.

The importance of this, is in the fact that we all act according to what we see. What we see, depends on this very resolution. There are ways to directly tweak this. Yoga, Meditation, food to some extent; these inputs are well within our reach. So what happens when our resolution is high?

It means we are in a state, where we see every second as vast expanse, tiny details which we'd otherwise not notice, start to fit in somewhere. We're aware of the tiniest of details, as well as a bigger picture. Object associativity becomes enhanced, and we notice details no matter where the roving eye wanders.

But it is an act of will and sensibility, not to lose oneself in the details.

And when the resolution is low, you get one without the other. Either the bigger picture and no clue about how to fill in the gaps, or the tiny bits in the gaps, and not a clue about how to connect it to anything else. Either way, ( details or the big picture), something is missing, and the result of it shows in the decisions we take.

For me, the easiest way to notice, is through music. Certain songs seem to stretch endlessly. The same song gets over in a flash despite my best attempts to try absorbing it.

There is one other aspect to this. One tends to think, is there a way to maintain a high resolution focus all the time, and why shouldn't we?
I'd say two things.
1. 'Swat distinguishes accomplished people from those who're not ( in WHATEVER is their chosen playground).
2. Life would lose its charm if we could see it all. There would be nothing to get out of bed and find out about. If we didn't discover a new perspective somewhere, or a left-out little detail somewhere else, what WOULD we do if we could see it all?

No rules here, just that the general flow of one's life seems to be so governed by this very resolution, every moment, that it seems like a good idea to watch it. At least.
