How do you reconfigure your mind to experience the most meaningful moments in life?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) May 28th, 2013

It’s so easy to settle in to a routine, let boredom start to reign. Here’s an awesome video about how to remember to see the world through they eyes of a child, eyes that realize that every new moment, it’s all new. Of course, massive galaxies colliding are fascinating to watch. It’s easy to be blown away by the mind-boggling power of a gamma ray burst.

But how can we remember that, as Henry Miller told us, “The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”? Jason Silva, in his ShotsOfAwe YouTube Network, defines awe thus; “Awe, an experience of such perceptual vastness you literally have to reconfigure your mental models of the world to assimilate it. Don’t you love being awestruck? How do you make sure hedonic adaptation doesn’t rob you of your sense of awe?
