Kejawen : Value of Java Community

In the literature and culture of Java rules did not find any grip in the sentence prayers and standard procedures for worshiping God. In Javanese culture to understand that God is universal and not limited His sovereignty. Also in Javanese, as is in fact not a religion, then the Javanese philosophy that there is only a form of "spiritual behavior" in the inner level, and "ritual behavior" at the level of outward. Behavior and crystallization ritual is a symbol of spiritual behavior.

Take, for example spells, offerings, sesirih behavior (avoiding the taboo behavior) as well as the behavior of meditation or meditation. Many people who do not understand the origin and meaning of it all, then simply raised an assumption that mantra as well as prayer. While offerings, behavior and conduct meditation sesirih perceived the same meaning with the ritual worship of God. Assumptions and this wrong perception. According to observers, academics and cultural figures, there is an element of intent to perceive and assume incorrectly and deviated from the true meaning. Hopefully it is not a belief system, including efforts to politicize, to mendestruksi Javanese culture that has taken root among the Javanese, with the hope that local knowledge paradigm occurs springboard to foreign narrative paradigm guarantees heaven.

Mantra is not the same meaning with prayer. When prayer is a plea to God Almighty, while the spell was suppose to pull the trigger rifle called survival. Human life giving power of God Almighty. Giving offerings, behavior sesirih (prevent) and meditation behavior has meaning life force empowering procedures in order to live a life that is true, good and right. Namely running life by following the rules "Memayu Hayuning Bawana".

PRINCIPLES OF BALANCE, ALIGNMENT and HARMONIZATION

The offerings or sajen when viewed from a religious perspective Abrahamisme, sometimes considered a negative connotation, as the source of idolatry (polytheism). But is associating human and God second best offerings through this ceremony? Should do was trapped by the limitations of reason and passion "Golek Menange Dewe (Selfish) and Golek Benere Dewe (find truth itself). Intention of actually offering a harmonization effort, through creative spiritual path to harmonize and connect the magical power of the human aura, with the whole of God's creation side by side in this world, especially the forces of nature and supernatural beings. In other words is the harmonization of human offerings in the horizontal dimension of the fellow creatures of God's creation. Harmonization is defined as human consciousness. Although men are considered (consider myself) as the most noble creature, but there is no reason to feel self just because most noble among other creatures. Because the glory of man depends on how to use of reason in ourselves. When the use of reason for the crime, then the glory of the human being broke, still more despicable than even the most despicable animals.
