Although Buddhism is about suffering (dissatisfaction) and the cessation of suffering (dissatisfaction), the cessation seems to lead to happiness (Nirvana). To achieve that means a multitude of steps to change the way our minds perceive reality, almost rewiring our brains to see the world through non-dualistic eyes. When one is mindful, seeing the ultimate reality of all things, wisdom and compassion seem to lead to a state of well being (harmony), beauty and energy.

The first 3 dimensions are: 1-D a point, 2-D a line or a plane, and 3-D a solid.
The 4th dimension is time. The gift of time is the gift of seeing in 4 dimensions.
Most people live their whole life seeing in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions.
Seeing in 1-D signifies that some things are not being seen.
Seeing in 2-D indicates living on the surface or superficially.
Seeing in 3-D means there is depth and complexity in life.
Seeing in 4-D allows past and future to be seen in the present.
Seeing in 4 dimensions allows glimpses of possibilities, which might not be completely accurate, but add an extra dimension on which to act. Seeing something in 4 dimensions encompasses its past and future qualities. Holding a pencil, you see it in 3-D as a pencil. In 4-D, you see the pencil as it was — wood, a tree, sun, water and soil. You can see the pencil as it will be — a drawing, words on paper, trash disintegrating to dust. Suddenly, a pencil takes on a beautiful life of its own.
When objects are seen, not superficially but in 4-D, the long-term consequences can be considered. In 4-D, when fuel economy is a growing issue, a person would purchase a higher mpg vehicle, saving money and reducing pollution. Looking at the bigger picture helps to avoid future problems, resulting in a more harmonious life.
Discover for yourself the gift of seeing in 4 dimensions. Learn to see the hidden beauty in our world and experience a happier and more timely life.
