Noble Silence Over

Back to the real world...
...sort of.

The week long unstructured meditation retreat anti-climatically failed before dinner on the first day.

I was the one to break the silence.

So instead of aborting the experiment, we are changing it.

We are now going to attempt to live this week in both worlds. The mindful, non-distracted, off-line, old-school, natural, semi-sacred, real world and the fast, pleasurable, mindless, on-line, constructed, normal world.

Can you live in both during the same day?
Does trying to live in both subtract or add to both?
Is it too hard or not worth the effort?
Is one strictly better than the other?

All these questions will be explored but definitely not answered this week.
