Book Synopsis Saints on Easter Island by : Joan Seaver Kurze
Download or read book Saints on Easter Island written by Joan Seaver Kurze and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1866, Easter Islanders (aka Rapanui) were Christianized, but the Republic of Chile, Rapa Nui's colonizer, waited until 1970 before asking the islanders' skilled craftsmen to carve the statue of a saint for their Church of the Holy Spirit. Chile's officialdom on the mainland (including the Catholic Church) greatly feared that the Marxist Salvadore Allende would be elected the country's president in September of 1970. Seaver Kurze suggests a possible connection between the mainland's 1970 politics and the Chilean hierarchy's request for a Rapanui carved saint soon known as Maria, Madre de Rapa Nui.During the 1980s, Seaver Kurze discovered that designs on Rapa Nui's small, pre-contact wooden carvings also decorated the Church's modern saints' statues. Once personal icons, the small figures now feed the tourist trade. But why were motifs that represented the glyphs on Rapa Nui's unique rongorongo boards (see Introduction) and the island's pre-contact petroglyphs incised on the sacred artifacts of diverse theologies in separate centuries? The answer may lie in the idea of cultural overlay, a notion introduced to the islanders in the late 19th century by a Rapanui catechist. According to that doctrine, the old belief system of a society need not be replaced by the dominant culture's new religion. Instead, adding the new deities to the old ways of spirituality simply expands the original belief system.Several legends about the Rapanui culture hero, Tu'u Ko Iho, are in the book's Appendix. Tu'u Ko Iho carved the small wooden figures that first showed the Rapanui what their ancestors looked like.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the preservation of your life's work and legacy hinged on your ability to convince a total stranger to kill you, what would you say? Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, three stranger's lives are forever altered. Silvio loses both of his parents. Vera's newlywed husband, out of a sense of patriotic duty, enlists to deploy to Iraq. And Lewis is a U.S. Army private caught in the middle of the Iraqi war violence. When a routine mission in Iraq turns tragic, Lewis is left with deep emotional scars and a final mission of his own--to deliver a fallen comrade's letter. Out of feelings of guilt and a need for penance, Lewis decides that the only proper way to deliver the letter is by foot, which is how he ends up on a cross country journey through the United States. While Lewis sojourns, Silvio has adopted a mission of his own. Witnessing the abrupt mortality and lackluster funeral of his parents, Silvio is on a mission to be remembered. And, he decides, what better way to be remembered than to be immortalized as a saint? Contrasted with the cynical Vera, Silvio becomes somewhat of a cult figure in their community, and when Lewis finally makes it to their small town, Silvio is convinced that he's found the perfect person to carry out his martyrdom.

In this greatest of all self-help books, he describes the principles of alchemy and how you can use them in your own life to bring about spiritual, mental, emotional and physical transformation."
