Download or read book Ancestral Memory in Early China written by K.E. Brashier and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancestral ritual in early China was an orchestrated dance between what was present (the offerings and the living) and what was absent (the ancestors). The interconnections among the tangible elements of the sacrifice were overt and almost mechanical, but extending those connections to the invisible guests required a medium that was itself invisible. Thus in early China, ancestral sacrifice was associated with focused thinking about the ancestors, with a structured mental effort by the living to reach out to the absent forebears and to give them shape and existence. Thinking about the ancestors—about those who had become distant—required active deliberation and meditation, qualities that had to be nurtured and learned. This study is a history of the early Chinese ancestral cult, particularly its cognitive aspects. Its goals are to excavate the cult’s color and vitality and to quell assumptions that it was no more than a simplistic and uninspired exchange of food for longevity, of prayers for prosperity. Ancestor worship was not, the author contends, merely mechanical and thoughtless. Rather, it was an idea system that aroused serious debates about the nature of postmortem existence, served as the religious backbone to Confucianism, and may even have been the forerunner of Daoist and Buddhist meditation practices.

Book excerpt: Ancestral Memories is a description of World History as it is preserved by the Dragon Families of Transylvania. These families trace their history to a time before the Global Flood that occurred 12,000 years ago. In Europe the Dragon Families are acknowledged by other Royal Families as the Oldest Dynasty in Europe. The Dragon Families were and continue to be guided by the hereditary priesthood of Hungarian culture. This priesthood is represented by two families, de Veres and Fenyes.In 1970 the author of this book was initiated into the lineage of the Fenyes Family in a ritual called Shadi. During that initiation he was shown a version of history that is significantly different that the version of history presented by Western Academia.The decision to share the substance of this alternative history was based on the idea that the belief in this information has played a major role in shaping historic events. Many of those events make no sense without a full understanding of the motivations that at times have led to conflict and war.The decision to release this information is based on the belief that the more we understand the motivation behind acts of violence the more we can prevent them from happening again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ENCOUNTERS AFTER THE SUNSETOftentimes while sitting before a bonfire, I become mesmerized by the flames with their never-ending dance. Soon my eyes focus on them to the exclusion of anything else. After some time I sense that nondescript presences start lurking quietly on the fringes of the fire. These friendly spirits are preterit beings who in their moment made considerable contributions to my genome: my long gone ancestors.The quest to rescue their memories from "among rocks and papers" has been a long journey. The fire has burnt hot and bright, and a few distinct individuals have emerged from among those faded ghosts in my distant past: Saxon and Cornish miners, illiterate peasants and cultured professionals, freed slaves, dispossessed Indians, and Spanish conquistadors and colonists, inter alios. I have collected their stories in this book titled "Encounters after the Sunset" as a bridge for future generations. With the flames now subsided into quiet embers, I will dare claim to have done my duty. It is my hope that other folks will take on the worthy cause of un-forgetting their predecessors and the teachings they might have left behind. In years to come, I may well be patiently awaiting to hear their stories from the blurry edges of a charmed woodfire.

Download or read book Sovereign Stories and Blood Memories written by Annette Angela Portillo and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sovereign Stories, Annette Angela Portillo examines Native American women’s autobiographical discourses and multiple-voiced life stories that resist generic conventional notions of first-person narrative. She argues that these “sovereign stories” and “blood memories” not only reveal the multilayered histories and identities shared by each author, but demonstrate how their narratives are grounded in ancestral memory and land. These autobiographies recall settler-colonialism, deterritorialization, and genocide as the writers and activist-scholars reclaim their voices across cultural, national, and digital boundaries. Portillo provides close readings of memoirs, life stories, oral histories, blogs, social media sites, and experimental multigenre narratives including those by Delfina Cuero, Ruby Modesto, Leslie Marmon Silko, Pretty-Shield, Zitkala-Sa, and Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins.
Download or read book A House in the Homeland written by Carel Bertram and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful examination of soulful journeys made to recover memory and recuperate stolen pasts in the face of unspeakable histories. Survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 took refuge across the globe. Traumatized by unspeakable brutalities, the idea of returning to their homeland was unthinkable. But decades later, some children and grandchildren felt compelled to travel back, having heard stories of family wholeness in beloved homes and of cherished ancestral towns and villages once in Ottoman Armenia, today in the Republic of Turkey. Hoping to satisfy spiritual yearnings, this new generation called themselves pilgrims—and their journeys, pilgrimages. Carel Bertram joined scores of these pilgrims on over a dozen pilgrimages, and amassed accounts from hundreds more who made these journeys. In telling their stories, A House in the Homeland documents how pilgrims encountered the ancestral house, village, or town as both real and metaphorical centerpieces of family history. Bertram recounts the moving, restorative connections pilgrims made, and illuminates how the ancestral house, as a spiritual place, offers an opening to a wellspring of humanity in sites that might otherwise be defined solely by tragic loss. As an exploration of the powerful links between memory and place, house and homeland, rupture and continuity, these Armenian stories reflect the resilience of diaspora in the face of the savage reaches of trauma, separation, and exile in ways that each of us, whatever our history, can recognize.
