While Zeke waited to meet with Ji, the rest of the Zing Tao contingent passed the time playing Wabi Wabi. Articulated fast, Ji developed the game to sharpen the connection between sight and mind in distinguishing between illusion, delusion and correct view within four dimensions. To play, a Zing Tao would stand before a floor length holographic screen of floating discs. Each disc was similar to the one next to it, yet slightly different. Moving quickly, the discs rotated while moving up and down. Some discs were real, some were not. Whenever two discs lit up, a warrior had a split second to determine if they were a match, if they both were real, and then if he could tag both before the lighted discs blinked off. With each correct match, the game sped up.
Each player played until he incorrectly identified a match. Many Hynerian dinars traded hands. As Ji liked to teach, make it fun. Make the training such that the lesson gets lost in play. Wabi Wabi taught without anyone ever giving a thought that each game sharpened skills that could mean life or death. It was just fun--so they played. And so they learned--the Zing Tao way.

Sounds like a good game!
Have to go. Have a good night, xx
Sweet dreams Trace. Thanks for so many very kind words today. Much appreciated my friend.
Have a great day A. See you in 8.
Hi Tree
Wabi Wabi eh? :)
Trée,
"Wabi Wabi" is a very interesting holographic game, a great fractal, and at the end the players manage to learn it at the Zing Tao way.
Wabi Wabi is an amazing name...:)
good morning Trée, hope you slept well, have a great friday sweetie :0)
Trace, you beat me to it! ;)
LOL did you bring breakfast, coffee is brewing :0)
Wabi comes from "Wabi Sabi"
Wabi sabi is a catchall phrase that combines the notions of wabi (things that are fresh and simple) and sabi (things that have beauty stemming from age). Rooted in ancient Japanese Shinto, wabi sabi celebrates the soft and fleeting beauty of the natural world.
"Wabi sabi is the beauty of the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete," said Leonard Koren, author of Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers Poets & Philosophers. "It’s solace in the less gorgeous way of life, more simple and frugal values."
Ji was always a believer that simple was best, that simple came closer to truth, hence the Wabi Wabi name.
So now you know--LOL.
Morning everyone.
By the way, Wabi Wabi is said very, very fast. If I were to tell you to say it three times very fast, then that pace would be how the Zing Tao articulated the name. ;-)
Hey Trée :)
Hope you are having yourself a joyous Friday! x
sounds like a game that could easily become addictive!!! I want to play! :D
Ciera, I have it on good authority the game is very, very addictive. Ji was such a sneaky one. Who would have thought to make learning fun. :-)
Been a good day so far Sunshine. Are you all tidied up now? :-)
I think this is definitely the organization to belong too, always having fun! The pretty picture alone would make me want to play. Gorgeous colors - a delight to the sense of sight.
Terry, a lot of potential Hynerian recruits were turned away. Seemed every little Hynerian dreamed of being a Zing Tao one day. Only a select few had what it took. Wabi Wabi was not available to the general public--strictly a Zing Tao training tool.
Man, I have a lot of catching up to do here, hopefully this runup to day will work for a while, too tired to stay up much longer, but had to stop by. Great stuff.
Thanks djb! We'll wait for ya. :-)
OMG - that is just fun to look at!! I can imagine the game. I want to play too. :)
"Make the training such that the lesson gets lost in play."
I wonder...that's a pretty good metaphor for life, isn't it? Oh what we learn when we decide to play.
Aggie, drink a couple glasses of wine and this fractal gets even better! LMAO
I love the illusion that those little disc are floating in air. Makes you just want to reach out and touch them.
