The Natural Spiritualism in Javanese Cultural Religion
The Natural Spiritualism in Javanese Cultural Religion
As Seen in Story, "the Queen in Southern Sea", Nyi Roro Kidul
A. Background
Since religion is the philosophy which attempts to understand the concepts involved in religious belief, the religious believers have to give they report such as experiences as those of being in the presence of God, or as being able to realize a timeless and eternal divine order in the universe (it made clear the concept of the religion). In contrast to what happened to the Javanese people who still believe in what they called natural phenomenon that influenced the spiritualism. They showed that there are still many cultural things that they believe as a God or they consider as the dependence that they believe and trust in their life.
Nyi or Nyai Roro Kidul is one of the natural phenomena that have become the spiritual phenomena that happened to the Javanese people, especially for those who live in the Southern Sea of Java like in Yogyakarta. From this concept of belief, it can be considered that the Javanese people admit the concept of deism.
Deism, a rationalist religious philosophy flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in England. Generally, Deists held that a certain kind of religious knowledge (sometimes called natural religion) is either inherent in each person or accessible through the exercise of reason, but they denied the validity of religious claims based on revelation or on the specific teachings of any church. Deism can be similar to naturalism, where the concept of belief is still influenced by natural things. Therefore, Deism will often give praise to the formation of life and universe to a higher power that by designing allows only natural processes to control creation.
