    Zen Arado: Hi all
    Riddle Sideways: do you have all the rules sorted out
    Zen Arado: heh
    Zen Arado: just started on 1
    Riddle Sideways: wb Ewan
    Zen Arado: not sure what it means
    Zen Arado: Hi ewan
    Ewan Bonham: hio fols..
    Xirana Oximoxi: well..we have been talikng about different subjects... weather, scripting, art projects, energy to do things... and now we started about the rules San has proposed
    Zen Arado: so everything is an experiment?
    Zen Arado: good rule for SL
    Riddle Sideways: Sans Rules
    Riddle Sideways: like it
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Zen Arado: withour rules ?
    Zen Arado: without
    Riddle Sideways: already done that
    Bleu Oleander: rule number 1 ... there are no rules hehe
    Xirana Oximoxi: :))
    Riddle Sideways: rule 2: disregard rule 1
    Bleu Oleander: haha
    Zen Arado: I don't trust anywhere
    Bleu Oleander: really?
    Zen Arado: trust involves setting expectations
    Zen Arado: raher just see what happens
    Zen Arado: trust is a kind of freezing isn't it?
    Xirana Oximoxi: I also see some kind of contradiction in rule 5
    Zen Arado: wanting something or someone to behave a certain way
    Zen Arado: yes following or doing it yourself
    Xirana Oximoxi: and I agree completely with rule 7: RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.
    Bleu Oleander: trust can allow you to relax
    Zen Arado: well ok but you could work at the wrong thing?
    Zen Arado: hmm yes Bleu
    Xirana Oximoxi: it's the same for painting...you find good results if you paint...if you stay waitng for the inspiration to come ..nothing happens
    Zen Arado: not always on edge
    Bleu Oleander: yes Xiri
    Xirana Oximoxi: :)
    Bleu Oleander: have to move the paint around!
    Zen Arado: trust your intuition?
    Zen Arado: they need a little more explanation
    Bleu Oleander: sometimes your intuition is off
    Zen Arado: can you be too self disciplined?
    Bleu Oleander: have to correct it
    Xirana Oximoxi: Read anything you can get your hands on. ?? there are a lot of book that we can live without reading
    Zen Arado: yeh not always right
    Bleu Oleander: how to choose what to read
    Bleu Oleander: good question
    Zen Arado: one of my problems too many books I want to read
    Bleu Oleander: limited amount of reading time
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes, good question Bleu:)
    Riddle Sideways: reading and disgreeing with it could be constructive
    Bleu Oleander: yes, true
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes
    Zen Arado: oh yes Riddle...reading critically
    Bleu Oleander: shouldn't only read what you agree with
    Zen Arado: when I did philosophy we were taught to read first sympathetically to get the full meaning and then read critically
    Xirana Oximoxi: interesting way of reading and learning
    Bleu Oleander: my problem is remember all that I read!
    Zen Arado: if you start critically you will miss a lot of what the author tries to convey
    Bleu Oleander: have to re-read some
    Xirana Oximoxi: I have to reread a lot Bleu...
    Zen Arado: many books worth reading a few times
    Zen Arado: but I want to move to something new all the time
    Bleu Oleander: when we read we bring ourselves to the reading ... hard not to read critically
    --BELL--
    Zen Arado: I can be too sympathetic
    Bleu Oleander: bye for now ... take care :)
    Zen Arado: tc Bleu
    Xirana Oximoxi: bye bye Bleu..have a nice day

    Xirana Oximoxi: are these rules very famous?
    Zen Arado: we can work too hard too maybe Xiri
    Zen Arado: don't think so
    Zen Arado: somebody made them up
    Xirana Oximoxi: what do you mean, 'work hard'? Zen?
    Zen Arado: try to do too much
    Xirana Oximoxi: ahh yes... that's not goo either
    Zen Arado: a life that is all work
    Xirana Oximoxi: better try to do less and enjoy more...no hurry:)
    Zen Arado: I find it hard to sit and watch a film
    Zen Arado: I think I should be doing something more constructive
    Xirana Oximoxi: because you have a 'creative' personality...you prefer doing:)
    Zen Arado: but then I get so tired
    Xirana Oximoxi: but it's also important to be lazy
    Zen Arado: we can be bad judges of ourselves
    Xirana Oximoxi: to be lazy is useful to restar our activities with more energy
    Zen Arado: pity we can't do a meditation retreat in SL
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes.... we can be the most strict judges about ourselves...until a level is good, but not excessive
    Xirana Oximoxi: you did once ..I remember...was it not a good experience?
    Xirana Oximoxi: I mean... not similar to sharing it in RL?
    Zen Arado: yes but we talked all the time
    Zen Arado: I mean a silent one
    Xirana Oximoxi: ahhh lol

    Zen Arado: there was some meditation but not much
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes... it's not easy here:)
    Zen Arado: many of them not used to meditation
    Xirana Oximoxi: I am not used to it..I've never done
    Zen Arado: only 10 minutes or so
    Zen Arado: maybe you don't need to
    Xirana Oximoxi: but after I finish my studies I've thought I will try to learn... I see it can bring a lot od benefits
    Zen Arado: usually if people say that they never do it
    Xirana Oximoxi: hehe:))
    Zen Arado: we never have time
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes, you're right:)
    Zen Arado: actually it is just sitting quietlt and not doing anything
    Zen Arado: but people add so many things to it
    Zen Arado: quietly
    Zen Arado: but so hard to find time to do that
    Zen Arado: so many distractions
    Xirana Oximoxi: it's also imporatnt to learn how to stay comfortable
    Zen Arado: yes
    Xirana Oximoxi: sitting in a good position?
    Zen Arado: don't think it matters so much
    Zen Arado: just comfortable as you said
    Xirana Oximoxi: I never find the 10 minutes everyday to make some Gimm... :)

    Zen Arado: exactly
    Xirana Oximoxi: yes:)
    Zen Arado: that is a kind of meditation
    Xirana Oximoxi: well... it can be seen like a kind of meditation...but I have no purpose in doing it
    Xirana Oximoxi: amy mind jumps from thought to though
    Xirana Oximoxi: thought
    Zen Arado: that is meditatio...not having a purpose
    Zen Arado: not trying to get anywhere
    Zen Arado: just allowing yourself to be as you are
    Zen Arado: and enjoying your dogs
