Seeing Divine Images in India - Many Misperceptions -

By -

 This book had talked about common misperceptions about the Hindu culture in India. I am not going to lie but this was kind of boring, at least the content part of it. But I did enjoy the misperception section of it. I believe that sight can either be a liability or an asset depending on who uses it and how they use it. I believe that there are lot of false narratives not only in relation to the topic of the book but in general as well. To the naked eye how we perceive things rely on how we are feeling in the moment. For example I used to hate walking home from school during the winter because it was dark and desolate. Everything that was far away from seemed like it could cause me harm. However once I passed those things I realized that it was either a sign or tree and I would relax for a bit before spotting something similar in size. These misperceptions on things that we are through cultural biases that have been integrated in our socirt for a very long time. For example the perception that someone is comes off as more masculine or feminine based on the way they dress or speak maybe. What I had learned since attending this school is that a lot of the misperceptions I had before were generally wrong and I'm glad that they were because it allowed me to see things through a new lens.

We’re so accustomed to the lifestyle of being busy that it has become the norm for many of us. However, the pandemic has forced us to slow down. We’re now appreciating everything that we had previously taken for granted and noticing things in our surroundings that we have never noticed before.  Take this quarantining/social distancing as an opportunity to be more aware of what you experience through the senses. I don’t think my senses have necessarily heightened over the past 5 weeks, but I am actively making the choice to pay more attention to what I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. I like going on nature/mindfulness walks and basking in the sunshine out in my backyard. This morning, I could hear a faint noise from the wind, hear the birds chirpin...

Food in the Afterlife

In Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions , Perez talks of Ashabi and her grandchildren providing food offerings to their ancestors. This immediately reminded me of the practice of food sacrifice in early China. I've taken Chinese language classes for about 7 years now and in one of the lessons, we learned about food as well as the history of food in Chinese culture. Ashabi and her grandchildren would give food offerings to their ancestors every day. This included nine beverages (coffee, liquor, and water mixed with sugar and molasses) and nine square pieces of coconut topped with red palm oil and guinea pepper. The offerings would also include whatever food was dropped on the ground. In their house, food dropping on the floor signified more than it would in common American households. It signified that the ancestors wanted that food and had willingly made it fall to the floor. They also used dishware that had been chipped which was...
