Hi Rick. Your kadutan not necessarily become pusaka of your son, unless you tell your son the experience you've through with the kadutan and how your kadutan became so useful for you and how you love and treasure it as pusaka. If you don't pass the message, your pusaka becomes kadutan of your son. If your son does not respect your message, it is not a pusaka of his.
No priest will sell esoteric properties. You can only buy new kadutan, or antique keris which its historical and spiritual properties had been lost or neglected. ...But if the empu could make it pertimi and ask the money from you, I hope my explanation to nechesh can answer it perfectly.
Why chopped liver? Now go back to what, stabbed wall?
Hi nechesh. I am afraid you have misunderstood me, my friend.
Until today for so many years I have lived in Indonesia as the citizen, there are still many things about Indonesia miss my understanding, as you know, Indonesia is rich of cultures. I can not understand them all and so I hope I could learn some from you in this forum.
Besides, though you are not admit your last posts of money perspectives, for once again your newer post reflected that perfectly. Well, ...there is nothing wrong with it because you are from culture of capitalism. Capitalism is not bad, it most results positively to freedom, independence etc. Mahar culture at the other hand most results to loyalty, commitment, etc.
If you notice there different of these 2 cultures in keris. Capitalism will need the guy work for money before he can buy keris. Mahar will need the guy commitment after the keris is given. So keris in capitalism will require the result of ones in the past(CE:money), while keris in mahar will require the result of ones in the future(CE:discipline, responsibility, loyalty, hard-work, etc). Keris in capitalism will make the bearer usually get more self confidence, while keris in mahar may make the bearer schizoprenic. Maybe you can moderate 2 cultures to gain the best method of acquiring keris.
Buying and Selling is trade of both ones outcome of the past. Mahar is trade of ones outcome in the future and other in the present.
