For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I’ve been trying to mix it up.
Context: Currently picking my new username for Signal and I’m not sure what to put. I don’t want spam, and I use Signal for privacy, but I could also do something nice. First name? Randomly generated?
It’s a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.
Wiki:
I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very ‘weeb’ but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.
There’s a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.
There’re some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.
That’s really cool, thank you for sharing :)
