The Sao Stone Cosmology Within The Aman Seri Community in Urimessing
Abstract
This research aims to uncover, contemplate, and describe the essence of the cosmology of Sao Stone in shaping the holistic life of the indigenous community of Aman Seri. The research method employed is a qualitative approach through field research using interview techniques, guided discussions, and field observations. The findings depict the perspective of the Aman Seri indigenous community towards Sao Stone as the most fundamental and essential element, always closely intertwined with their natural existence. Their cosmological beliefs designate Sao Stone as the centre of cosmic power, serving as a guide for profound exploration and appreciation of the beauty of logos radiating within the Aman Seri cosmos. Moreover, faced with the severe destruction of the cosmic order due to the colonialism of the Portuguese and Dutch in Ambon, the survival of the Aman Seri indigenous community can be sustained through the role of Sao Stone as the cosmic centre. Sao Stone is considered a robust anchor of defense and security for the Aman Seri community.
