Marco, my own intuition comes from the society & culture in which I was raised, I live in Australia, my ancestors came from Ireland, Cornwall & Scotland, with one outsider from Spain or Portugal (he was a bit of a ring in).
But in order to understand Javanese intuition, or for that matter, the intuition of any society & culture other than our own, we do need to devote a large part of our time to the relevant study. This keris under discussion is a Javanese keris, in order to gain an understanding of this keris, should we try to apply a Javanese paradigm, or a paradigm that comes from a different culture & society? |

Alan of course, certainly a Javanese paradigm! .. A paradigm from which I am far from and aware of it.... and I love listening to the Javanese when they teach me somethings about keris

So it seems we are in agreement Marco, however, it is wise to be rather careful when selecting a teacher.
This applies to all disciplines, not only the matter of keris. Edit "discipline" in the sense of a branch of knowledge Last edited by A. G. Maisey; 29th March 2023 at 11:30 PM. Reason: clarification |
