Abstract

This article aims to investigate the communication between the ghosts of the dead and the living. It is quite commonthat the living talk to the ghosts of the dead through different rituals in the tradional religions. On the contrary, the studyabout communication between the ghost of the dead with the living is not very common. Therefore, a question in thisresearch is: “Is there any experience that the ghost of the dead talks to the living?” The assumption is that: there iscommunication between the ghost of the dead and the living. Using descriptive-qualitative method of research, the result ofthis study shows that there is communication between the ghosts of the dead and the living. The communication takes placethrough the medium of the paranormal in which the paranormal man or woman invites the ghost of the dead to talk to his orher family through paranormal man or woman or simply to get the message from the ghost. The communication also takesplace through dreams, and later on the message or messages that iare delivered in the dream become real or reallyhappened. Then, the communication of the ghost of the dead and the living is analyzed using postmodernism, fenomenology,and ethnometodology perspectives. Each perspective argues that the communication between the dead and the living isunderstandable and academically acceptable.Keywords: communication, dead, living, dream, paranormal, post modernism, fenomenolgy, and ethnomethodology.

Abstract

Environmental degradation reflects an ethical disruption in the relationship between human communities and the ecosystems that sustain them. This study examines the ecological meanings of the Roko Molas Poco ritual in Manggarai culture and explains their relationship to the concept of universal brotherhood proposed by William Chang. The study used a qualitative ethnographic design supported by a literature review, participant observation, and in-depth semistructured interviews with seven traditional leaders, ritual practitioners, and cultural elders. Data were analyzed through condensation, thematic coding, hermeneutic interpretation, and triangulation. The findings show that the ritual treats the selected tree as a relational subject rather than a commodity. Its stages regulate communal deliberation, selective resource use, ritual permission, reconciliation, and shared responsibility for the forest. These practices express respect for nonhuman life, limits on exploitation, and moral accountability before God, the community, and nature. The findings also show that Roko Molas Poco gives a culturally grounded form to universal brotherhood because humans and other created beings are understood as originating from the same divine source. The ritual therefore provides a local environmental ethic that can strengthen conservation awareness and enrich contemporary discussions of relational and biocultural approaches to environmental protection.
