SophiaSharon Larnia: :D
Adams Rubble: would you say more Sharon?
Alfred Kelberry: intensity?
SophiaSharon Larnia: I've heard some peole use the word intergration, like you have to take time to take practice to daily life, at least I think thats what it means
SophiaSharon Larnia: people*
SophiaSharon Larnia: for me that doesn't feel like what it is, just a ste[[ing back, i d k
Adams Rubble: sounds a bit like wu wei, the stepping back
SophiaSharon Larnia: stepping* (are you going to fix the typos? hahaha)
Adams Rubble: stop tyring and let it come to us
--BELL--
Alfred Kelberry: you mean not a designated time for meditation, but interwined mindfulness with our daily routine?
SophiaSharon Larnia: truthfully, i thought i was spending too much time online
Alfred Kelberry: hmm
Barcalona Rhapsody: time is relative
Alfred Kelberry: sophia, it was your way of saying that? :)
Alfred Kelberry: through intensity and integration? :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes I have a really strange relationship to time anyway, I don't know if it's like this for everyone
Barcalona Rhapsody: me too
Adams Rubble: Practice can be online or offline in RL although ultimately it is in RL
Alfred Kelberry: adams, good point... it still is rl :)
Adams Rubble: I can be online and not practicing or online and practicing
