Hey Curious Vaj,
What is the fundamental structure that you are referring to? Are you suggesting that Shamanism has no structure and therefore it isn't valued as a legit religion. What are your concepts to support these claims in which you stated that Shamanism is merely a imagination of illusions created by delusional human beings. In the statements you provided must be proof that you have lost the spirit thread in which each and everyone is linked by this thread and will be forever tied as one common ancestor. In the past thousands of years, we as hmongs have known each other and able to trace our roots to are fore ancestors is because of our practice. By practicing our religion we will be able to trace our roots and find our lost families because of one single dab nquaj which will bond us all. Many Grandpas will ask for your practice and if you share one single practice then you are related but if you don't then they will be able to tell you where your clan is located. By following the roots of our religion of shamanism we will be able to understand where we had come from or information about our clan. You may not be a shaman believer but don't doubt the power of the shaman culture because without our religion where will we stand on. My brothers wether you are shamanism or a christ follower, we all must work together and preserve our culture and our Hmong religion. You may not believe in Shamanism but at least repect the fact that we have a religion for our hmongs. For many thousands of years, our hmong people have depended on our religion to survived through the ages and once again we will have to acknowledge it in our presence in america. A Ethnicity is only embraced and respect if it is done so by its people. The practice of shamanism is practice very lightly in the USA, and we all will have to embraced it as a religion part of our culture that we can choose to practice or not. Remembered the old ways, the old treasurary phrases passed down from generation to generation and lost in this centtury. We will have to acknowledge our religion, our culture even if we don't practice or believe in it. It is still part of who we are. We who are still tradition can be link and find our clan even if we lived in a diffrent part of the world.
We As Hmong american will have to work together and join hands together and get this topic over with.
