In this dream I was taught everything there is to know about the concept of Wabi Sabi. I never heard of it before but it was like it was beamed directly into my head. Like I was in a lecture hall where I was both student and teacher, or there was a radio in my head. When I woke up I knew the term, it's history, and the philosophy behind it. Beauty in imperfection.

I don't spend a lot of time here but I thought you might find this interesting.

you break something (out of carelessness)
you pause, aware of your carelessness (which in itself is carefulness), start collecting broken pieces
you solve the higher 'problem' by attending to the immediate 'problem' [which is the breaking of this object, the nature of it's breaking]
beauty and creativity arise and proper 'solution' to the 'problem' emerges
there is no problem to begin with
only your diligent attention

QRD on the history and philosophy and history of Wabi-Sabi?

First conceived by a nobleman that broke his favorite pot. Often used for centuries in tea ceremonies. A belief that an object that is lovingly maintained and cared for acquires a kind of soul or spirit all it's own.

It can also be seen in architecture as kind of an antithesis to the Greco-Roman style. Western architecture puts heavy emphasis on straight lines and achieving perfection. Striving for Godhood in a sense. Admirable and beautiful in its own way, but straight lines are rare in nature, and humanity is imperfect

No clue I'm a nobody loser but I've always had vivid and sometimes even prophetic dreams. I once freaked out my friends because I repeated a conversation practically vebatim they had the day before when I was across town sleeping in my bed. They accused me of spying on them. I guess I was in a sense.

This one was different though because it seemed to come from somewhere else.

I was in my late teens in the late 90's and this happened after I meditated with my martial arts master.

I think they were trying to shut him up he got the start of cancer a year later and was an actual dimak/sappo/kyusho user near equal to kenshiro and isshinsai ogata from kenichi.

I had this dream in 1999 and my life has got harder ever since, it's like I was supposed to inherit a martial style from the silk road and overlay/simulation sees me as a threat.

Different how? You were across town, it came from "somewhere" else then too.

Wabi Sabi is why God sent us down here: to be 'broken in' by imperfection. Then the Redeemer glues us back together and we see the sublime masterwork in all its wholeness.

I guess in the sense that the thing with my friends conversation was an out-of-body experience which I've had several times. I perceived myself as floating above them. The dream in my OP didn't involve flying at all, I didn't go anywhere. It was more like something came to me.

Wild stuff, thanks. I never really had much interest in Eastern Philosophy or martial arts before this dream

I actually believe you were chosen for an imperfect reason.

I question who or what is behind this, since being chosen to be imperfect, proves the cernaction/alternate earth copy hologram theory.

The colliders were ran on that day

Sometimes assholes will try to argue you caused it, all the information comes back to you. Ignore them. They are assholes.

>Beauty in imperfection.
I've heard of this perspective. I'd say imperfection is fine if it cannot be avoided. If you can avoid imperfection, be perfect. If you can avoid imperfection but choose to be defective, absolute shit take.
