Elder William Commanda performs a smudging ceremony.
Author: KiiskeeNtum (She Who Remembers) Year: 1998.
The burning of various medicine plants to make a smudge or cleansing smoke is used by the majority of Native North American peoples. It is a ritual cleansing.
As the smoke rises, our prayers rise to the Spirit World where the Grandfathers and our Creator reside. Negative energy, feelings, and emotions are lifted away. It is also used for healing of mind, body and spirit, as well as balancing energies.
Our Elders teach us that all ceremonies must be entered into or begun with good intent. So many of us use the smudge as a symbolic or ritual cleansing of mind, body, spirit and emotion. The smell of the burning medicines stimulates our brains to produce beta-endorphins, which are part of the normal healing process of our bodies.
Smudging may also be used to cleanse, purify and bless the part of our Mother, the Earth which we utilize in seeking after the spiritual. For example: around the area used for sweatlodge or powwow. It may also be used to purify or bless special objects or totems, such as jewelry, rattles, clothing or other ceremonial objects.
It is a customary to cleanse, (brush or wash the smoke) over our eyes, ears, mouth, hands, heart and body. Some people choose to brush it over their backs, to 'lighten their troubles'. It is customary to use matches to light the medicines, when available.
Sage: Is seen as a women's medicine, and offers strength, wisdom, and clarity of purpose. It is used to symbolize the life-giving power of women. Sage is often braided into three strands, similar to Sweetgrass, and hung within one's home. It may be tied with a ribbon in one of the colors of the medicine wheel: Red, yellow, black, white or green.
Cedar: Is used for purification and to attract positive energy, feelings, emotions and for balance. Cedar tea has been used as a healing medicine. It's high vitamin C content was essential to the prevention of scurvy, in a time when fruits and vegetables were unavailable during the long winter months. It was one of the first gifts of natural healing shared with the European peoples upon their arrival to Turtle Island (North America).
Sweetgrass: Is used by almost all Aboriginal peoples in North America. It is a ritual cleansing. The smoke rises, as our prayers rise above us to our Creator, the Grandfathers, and the Spirit World. Sweetgrass was one of the four original "medicine plants" given by the Creator to the first peoples.
The others being Tobacco, Cedar, and Sage. We cleanse our eyes so that they will see the truth around us, the beauty of our Mother, the Earth, the gifts given us by our Creator, the love shared with us through our families, friends and communities. We cleanse our mouth, that all we speak will be truthful, said in a way that will empower the positive, only good things, always full of words of praise and thanksgiving for our Creator.
We cleanse our ears, so that our ears will hear the spiritual truths given us by our Creator, listen to the truth as it is shared with us by the Creator, the Grandfathers, Four Directions, Four Kingdoms, and be open to the request for assistance from others, to hear only the good things and allow the bad to 'bounce off'.
We cleanse our hearts so that our hearts will feel the truth, grow with us in harmony and balance, be good and pure, be open to show compassion, gentleness and caring for others.
We cleanse our feet so that our feet will seek to walk the true path, seek balance and harmony, lead us closer to our families, friends, community, walk closer to our loved ones and help us flee our enemies, and lead us closer to our Creator.
In some places, it is the custom to exclude a pregnant women so that all her energies may be directed towards nurturing the new life within her. In others, she must participate, as her strength is shared and multiplied by the new life within her.
If in doubt, seek out the Elder and ask for direction. In some places, a woman on her moon time (menstrual time) is askedto remain outside the circle during any ceremony. In others she may sit inside but not partake of the Sweetgrass. Again, seek out an Elder and ask for guidance. The author's grandmother's simplest explanation of Sweetgrass was that it chased away all the negative energy, feelings and emotions, and left a well, or open space, into which happiness can enter.
The lesson Sweetgrass teaches us is kindness. When Sweetgrass is walked upon, it bends, but does not break. So one of the lessons of Sweetgrass is that when someone does us an injustice or hurts us, we are to return it with kindness, as does the Sweetgrass, by bending, not breaking when it is walked upon. It is often referred to as the hair of our Mother, the Earth.
It is not customary to purchase it. One goes out and picks it during August. If this is impossible for whatever reason, one may ask to exchange gifts with someone who has a supply. If both these are impossible, and the need is great, it is acceptable to purchase some for a friend or spouse, and exchange, with each one using the other's. Medicines are supposed to come to you when you are ready to use them in the right way. A woman on her time may not pick Sweetgrass.
It is customary to remove any metal, rings, watches, glasses, etc. (except those which cannot be physically removed), prior to the use of any smudge. Metal is man-made, and seen to hold negative energy. Some people choose to smudge these objects on a regular basis to remove any residual energy.
Tobacco: Is held as a scared plant by all Native North American people. It is believed that Tobacco opens the door between the Worlds of Earth and Spirit and used in many ways by Aboriginal peoples all over Turtle Island. If tobacco is offered and accepted, and a request made of the person accepting it, that promise is sacred. It is a commitment or promise not only between the people involved, but with our Creator and the Grandfathers of the Spirit World. It must be honored. Tobacco may be carried around and used as a means of thanking our Creator for his gifts. For example, if you enjoyed a sunset, rainbow, good weather, you might leave some Tobacco on the ground, and say thank you for the gift.
If you take a gift, gather Sweetgrass, Cedar, Sage, birchbark, stones, herbs, you might leave Tobacco in the ground to honor the gift you are taking, returning energy and prayer to our Mother, the Earth, and thanks to the Creator.
Tobacco need not be smoked. In fact, it should be smoked only by certain people on specific occasions, for example, pipe carriers during ceremonies. Tobacco, or any smudge, may be burned in an earthen-ware bowl, large clam shell, in a fire or fireplace or other object during periods of prayer and meditation. As the smoke rises, so do our prayers rise to the Spirit World and the Creator. Women on their moon do not use, carry or touch Tobacco, or any other medicine plant or herb. One exception is women's Sage, which may be used by all.

"Bình yên một thoáng cho tim mềm
Bình yên ta vào đêm
Bình yên để đóa hoa ra chào
Bình yên để trăng cao
Bình yên để sóng nâng niu bờ
Bình yên không ngờ
Lòng ta se sẽ cầu kinh bình yên
Bình yên để gió đưa em về
Bình yên ta chờ nghe
Chờ nghe tình vỗ lên tim mình
Chờ nghe tình lung linh
Bình yên để nắng soi môi thơm
Bình yên ta mừng
Mừng em đã hết đau thương về đây ấm cúng
Mừng em đã biết xót thương tình yêu
Như từ bao la ta ra đời một kiếp nữa
Như từ trong nhau lớn lên khôn lên cùng nhau
Như một câu hát ứa ra từ tim
Tặng nhau nhé tiếng nghe hồn nhiên
Để quên hết khó khăn chia lìa" ♫
Tôi mong có đủ hạnh phúc trở nên ngọt ngào, đủ thử thách để trở nên vững mạnh, có đủ nỗi buồn để hiểu cuộc đời, có đủ niềm tin để bước tới và có đủ tình yêu để dâng hiến cho đời...
Đến khi nào đó tôi đã có đủ những điều đó cũng là lúc tôi có được sự Bình yên quý giá để nâng mình lên trên mọi ti tiện, tầm thường của thiên hạ, không tính toán nhỏ nhen, không hành xử theo lối tiểu nhân...

Everything, always, collectively, had been moving toward that purified shape latent in the sky.
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow (1973)
Presented as part of transmediale.10, the rainbow of seven parallel laser beams will shine across a three kilometre stretch of central Berlin, from the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in the Tiergarten to the landmark Fernsehturm (TV tower) at Alexanderplatz. Over three nights of the festival, the rainbow will appear in the night sky and will be visible across the city as it rises diagonally from the roof of HKW to a point approximately 250 metres up the shaft of the TV tower.
Mattern conceived the project as a dramatic and luminescent symbol of social diversity, peace and hope. It has been shown only once before, just over a year ago in New York City, under the name Global Rainbow, where it shone across downtown Manhattan on the evening of 19 January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In Berlin this February, during the 20th anniversary celebration of the reunification of Germany, it invokes its symbolism once more in connecting the city's House of World Cultures with the TV tower that formerly represented the pride of communist East Germany's ruling Socialist Unity Party. The spectacular use of the latest high specification laser technology is particularly apt this year, the 50th anniversary of the invention of the laser.
An drei Abenden während der transmediale.10 erhellte Yvette Matterns From One To Many mit einem Regenbogen die Berliner Nacht: Eine gigantische Laserkanone projiziert einen siebenfarbigen Laserstrahl in einem diagonalen Winkel von ca. 250m vom HKW zum Fernsehturm und verbindet so zwei wichtige architektonische Sehenswürdigkeiten im alten Ost-, bzw. Westteil der Stadt.
Mehr als nur eine aufwendige Spielerei mit projiziertem Licht, ruft From One To Many ganz bewusst die Bedeutung des Regenbogens als traditionelles Symbol für gesellschaftliche Pluralität, Frieden und Hoffnung auf. Zum ersten Mal versetzte ein solcher Regenbogen New York in Staunen: am Montag den 19. Januar 2009, dem Martin Luther King Jr. Day und Vortag der Inamtierung von Präsident Barack Obama. Damals verlief er durch Downtown Manhattan genau über Ground Zero hinweg zwischen der Brooklyn Bridge im Osten und dem Hudson River im Westen.
Im Jahr 2010 jährt sich die Erfindung der Lasertechnologie zum 50. Mal, was der Installation From One To Many einen zusätzlichen Nachdruck verleiht.

From the history of our parish
1.10.2008
Twenty-eighth October 1888 was for our ancestors, then living in the suburbs of Bratislava called New Town, solemn day, the day of consecration new temple. But this day is solemn and important for us and will be important also for future generations. Our grandfathers built and because church leaders dedicated the temple on that day not only for themselves and for their children, but for all future generations. Those who build Blumentál physically, but spiritually primarily through your prayers, we left a wonderful legacy: church dedicated to the Assumption, the church, which has one hundred and twenty years invites believers can confidently say that the whole city that it glorified God, bring the sacrifice of Christ, purify your soul and implore the gifts of the Spirit for themselves and for their loved ones.
Celebration of consecration
The parish priest Jozef Poeck completed his work, who has devoted many years of his life, as we wrote about in previous figures. For believers Bratislava Nové Mesto parish is 118 years after its establishment saw to it that the faithful have a decent temple, whose tall slender tower towered over the entire eastern part of the city. Blumental Church was until recent times the only dominating this site. As he writes in his book Pozdech pastor, consecration of a new church in Bratislava expected not only residents of suburban New City but the entire Bratislava. Dedication of the temple designated day for 28 October on the feast of St. Simon and Jude, which that year fell on the October last Sunday.
Building a new church was of great interest of the Cardinal John Simor and the highest church dignitary of the Archdiocese of Esztergom, to which at that time belonged Bratislava. He himself a considerable amount contributed to its construction and it is no wonder that himself this new tabernacle of God sanctified .
Bratislavans prepared Cardinal decent adoption. Cardinal-Primate arrived in Bratislava on 27 October At the main station hailed him a great multitude of believers who lined the streets along which he passed to the Primate's Palace. There he has always stayed when visiting Bratislava (the Town palace bought in 1903 for their needs), and even there that day to receive the representatives of the city, various offices, army officials, townspeople and professional groups. The whole city was decorated and lit.
Newly built temple consecration ceremonies began 28 morning at nine. Ceremony was attended by about 30,000 believers (Bratislava at that time had about 70 000 inhabitants). We can imagine where it is today around our church could gather such a large crowd? At that time, however, surrounding the church was not built like today. 9.00 h in the morning on day dedication Blumentálu rozozvučali the bells of all the churches in Bratislava and the Cardinal-Primate, accompanied by church officials came to the new temple. Assisted prelates Cardinal Dr. Francis Horecký and Charles Rimel, Bratislava canons. Accompanied were prelate Dr. Jozef Danko, honest deacons Anton Leek and Joseph Urge, canon Graeff, and other dignitaries, priests and religious. Ceremony was also attended by Dr. Julius Machovič, notary stool Archbishop of Esztergom and the archbishop's office director Dr. John Black, who later became Archbishop of Esztergom. Bishop became a member of another parade Dr. Rimley. Ceremony was attended by prominent city officials, representatives of various agencies and states, armies, and large numbers townspeople simple people of God.
The ceremonies began before the temple gate, then svätiteľ Cardinal Simor escorted entered the church, where the ceremonies continued sanctification anointing altars and the temple walls. To save the remains of the altar stone martyr Adalbert and Gerhard. First Mass in our church served Baltizár bishop and the first sermon delivered svätiteľ Cardinal Simor. The church preached three preachers: Jesuit P. Emil Volbert German, and two Franciscans, one Slovak and one Hungarian. The ceremonies lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon. After the solemn procession returned to the Primate's Palace, where Cardinal Simor for invited guests was given a formal dinner. It goes without saying that it is attended by a priest Poeck, without whose selfless work would not stand this temple.
In connection with the consecration of Blumentálu mentions the event, which was to become the pastor Poeck fatal. On the way to the Primate's Palace was stampeded horses pulled the carriage in which he sat, and as pastor writes Pozdech only by God's providence remained alive.
Celebrations dedication of the temple after years
Believers of this site for years to commemorate the big day solemn consecration of the temple worship, after which they were folk festivities. The annual celebration of the dedication of the temple waving their spiritual and secular. The spiritual part was solemn character, Mass serve senior dignitaries and preachers coming festive. Worship enriched various choirs and ensembles; secular part called. Forgive was associated with folk festivals and party. That day came not only parishioners, but people from all over the city from the nearer and wider surroundings. At that time, around the church still extremely suitable for such celebrations. Open space provide plenty of room for a variety of stalls, attractions, festivals roundabouts... spestrovala brass band from Záhorska Bystrica.
Pozdech pastor remembers that when he wrote his memories, older parishioners at these festivities still remember, as young as yourself to participate in them. Such spectacular folk festivals disappeared after the First World War.
Great was the celebration of consecration Blumentálu in the twenty-fifth anniversary. Although the history of the temple twenty-five years is not much, because the church is built on centuries, writes pastor Pozdech: every believer adhesions with its parish church, where baptism was received into the bosom of the Church, there is divested of their sins, receive the Savior, there is a double promises connects life inextricably to a man with a woman and introduces a new family, there priest begs for mercy for those who embarked on the path of eternity...
Spiritual program began a day before the big feast solemn litanies. In the anniversary Mass celebrated by the parish priest Evariast Czaykowski and preached prelate A. Gaibl. Ceremony was attended by celebrities Bratislava, led by mayor.
